 (ENsLEY BUREAU)
 Decision of the police department to enforce an existing ordinance prihibit- ing parking on Nineteenth street, has proved pleasing to most of the residents of this section.
 Many citizens have declared them selves as being over the dangers exist ing on the street. There followed a petition to Chief McDuff, signed by several hundred persons requesting the strict enforcement of the law. To this MT. McDuff, replied by instructing the police unit at Ensley to clear that street. The effect Saturday and Sum day was to utterly change the entire appearance of this section of Birming- ham. Rather than an almost impas- sable condition Saturday night and Sunday, the street was clear from Sthe entrance of Ensley to the steel plant.
 It was stated at police headquarters Sunday that no arrests would be made for parking or stopping on Nineteenth street for few days but just as soon as reasonable time had expired, pedes- trians and others would be placed un- der bond for violation of the order.
 It is also stated that Chief McDuff and Captain w.. W. Brent, in charge of traffic enforcement, will visit Ems ley Monday morning to go over the sit uation. It is stated that the officers will undertake to obtain ideas from res idents, and that every means will be used to bring about proper regulations. In the meantime this new move by the police, coupled with the paving pro- gram which is under consideration by property owners will, it is believed, greatly reduce the traffic hazards in this section.
