tENSLEY BUREAU)
 ENSLEY. Ala, Jan: 2S.-Traf- fife problems in Ensley will be taken up Tuesday morning by the As sociated merchants and a solution worked out if possible.
 Members of the organizati tion were engaged Monday in making a busi- ness census of Ensley relative to whether paralled parking should be re- quested here. Merchants were asked to indicate their preference of the two sustems and to suggest other means of curtailing the trrafic dnagers.
 It was announced that the merchants would. at the meeting Tuesday, initiate movement to pave Twentieth street from Tuxedo Junction to Avenue c so that traffic may be routed one way. It is planned to route all out bound traffic in Ensley on Nineteenth street to Tuxedo Junction thence over Ensley Highlands. This would provide Ensley with one way traffic streets from Fair view to Fairfield and eliminate the possibility of wrecks due to congested two way traffic, it is claimed.
 It is planned to request the Bir- mingham Railway. Light and Power company to route its car bound from Fairfield to Birmingham down Twen- tieth street turning at Avenue c and Twentieth street and all outbound cars up Nineteenth street to Fairfield.
 Merchants and citizens are much concerned over the possibility of seri- ous wrecks. especially during the late afternoon when the automobiles pile out of the steel plant. A city ordinance prohibits any parking on Nineteenth street from Avenue c to Avenue 1. and it is stated that merchants and resi- dents will insist upon a thorough en- forcement of that ordinance unless some other means of remedying the situation is found.
 It is realized that to neforee the ordinance prohibiting parking on Nine teenth street between Avenue I and Avenue C would work hardship on many business houses. However, recent traffic accidents have been of such character as to cause the widespread opinion that it were better to eliminat te automobiles from the principal streets rather than to have occurrences of such accidents as have lately hap pened
 sltI. VItSiuSHN N.o ol tHS MtE- chants associa ton, said Monday that given over solely to a discussion of this and that immediate steps would be taken to find some way out.
