WitR Ensley's new traffic ordinance scheduled for final hearing by the city commission next Tuesday, Police Capt. W. W. Brent. in charge of the traffic squad, spent Wednesday studying local conditions. He expressed doubt as to whether the proposed 30-minute park ing provision would be adopted.
 Safety isr paramount in handling traffic." Brent said. There is much to be said on both sides of this parking clause Of course, all of us want to see the merchants given every consid- eration, but the question of endangering life also must be weighed carefully
 Asserting he was ;neutraD until the public safety becomes involved, Captain Brent said sharp opposition had arisen to the 30-mihute parking privilege on Nipeteenth street. On the other hand, many merchants had asked him to rec ommend the. adoption of this section. He said if it. appeared that the ma jority favorsy the clause, he would not oppose it. z.o.
 Nineteenth street, Brent pointed out, is narrower than the average thorough fare. When the mills are dismissed in the afternoon from 3 o'clock on, he said. the south-bound traffic becomes heavy and dangerous. Parked cars on the street, he indicate would increase the danger of accidents.
 Indications pointto a vigorous debate over the ordinance before the commits sion next week.
