ARCADE PROJECT
 F0R ENSLEY ALLEY
Making Of Eight City Blocks For Shopping Purposes
 Under Discussion

Bisecting two blocks in Ensley with wide alleys, widening present alleys now extending through the blocks and thus making eight city blocks where now there are two is said to be under discussion by one of the big manufacturing concerns interested in-real estate in that part of Birmingham.
 Representatives of Ramsay & Me co-mack, who own considerable por- tions of Ensley realty, stated Wednesday morning that this had been considered by their firm.
 The innovation was said to be based on the desirability of creating streets for shops free from traffic, no automobiles being allowed in the arcades. which will be paved from house to house clear across the street as one solid sidewalk, making pedestrians.
 Real estate men in Birmingham were more or less taken with the idea when they were asked about it. saying it was along the same line that had been somewhat developed for Birmingham two years ago when plans were made for an arcade.
 Carr Mccormack was asked if he was interested in such a proposition and said the idea had been discussed in his office at one time regarding the two Ensley blocks bounded by Fifteenth and Seventeenth streets and Avenues D and E.
 Officials in the city hall said it would be one way of providing a number of safety shopping zones that could not be but approved by the public at large.
