 Fight Move

Indignant over the city commission s passage of an ordinance permitting the Birmingham Electric company to park it's tracks on First avenue from Fifty seventh to Eightieth street, 800 .citi- zens of East Lake held mass meet ing in their town hall Monday night and shaped plans to fight to the fin ish.
 A resolution expressing bitter oppo- sition to the parking was adopted, aft CT a number of speakers, headed by Attorney Armstrong Cory, had used vigorous language in assailing the com missions action.
