PARKING 0F CARS IN DOWNTOWN SECTION
Measures Adopted to I'm prove Conditions and to
 Enforce Traffic Laws

At a conference held yesterday be- Automobile club. the chief of police, the judge of the recorders court, and Com missioner Burruss, number of impor- tant decisions were reached, all of which are of ipterest to the automobil- ists and pedestrians of Birmingham. Perhaps the most important is the ques- ton of parking cars in the downtown section of the city. The streets are to be immediately marked off with white lines showing the proper parking spaces and each car must be parked be- tween two of these lines at an angle Of forty-five degrees
 In this way it is expected to increase considerably the number of cars that may be parked in each block. It is also intended to limit the length of time that a car may stand in one place
 The question of dinners on head lights was discussed and 1t was decided that something must be done to do away with the danger caused by glartng headlights Ninety per cent of all night accidents are caused by giaring head lights An existing law already pro vides that all cars be equipped with dinners or diffusing lenses. It was decided that on and after the. goth or october this law will be strictly in forced and any one caught violating II will be placed under arrest,
 With the idea of making the streets better for motorists the city will em- : ploy a man whose chief duty will be to keep them clear of nails and broken glass All drivers of cars who see broken glass are requested to notify the Birmingham Automobile club and the club will notify the proper city au- thorities to secure it's removal at once.
 Ii is hoped to increase the number of traffic policemen So that one will be on duty on each of the downtown cor ners from early morning to late at night and better obedience to their di- rections will be required from al' drivers of automobiles and other vehi : cles. They will be equipped with whis- ties to be used in connection with the present semaphores. When traffic Tn a certain direction is stopped they will be required to stop back of the street intersection, leaving sufficient room fol pedestrians to pass in front of thelr cars " - s ss..q.5

FIRE DEFIES
ALL OPPOSITION
But the Spectacular Blaze at
Long Island City Is Burn
ing Itself Out
OVER so PERSONS
HAVE BEEN HURT
And the Property Damage
Will Run into Millions
of Dollars

New York, Sept. l5.--The spectacular
oil fire, which since Saturday afternoon
has ragged at the plant Of the Some q
Fleming company in Long Island City,
with injury to more than so persons and
property damage running into the mil
lions, was gradually burning itself out
to-day.
Although officials of the fire depart
ment said that the blaze was well under
control, it still was burning briskly and
promised to continue for two or three
DAYS, until the thousands of gallons OF
oil in the path of the flames have been
consumed.
Herbert L. Pratt of the Standard Oil
company, of which the Some & Fleming
plant is subsidiary, said after survey
of the ruins that the property damage
would be more than $2,000000 About
100000 of this sum is said to be rep
resented by oil consumed in the fire. As
nearly as could be ascertained with the
fire still raging, 50 of the company's
large oil tanks have been destroyed.
