Parking Ban Proposed on Fifth Street for Fire Lane Access
The department of public safety led by the Chief of Police and Fire Chief and the street commissioner will likely prohibit parking on Fifth Street from Mulberry to the bridge west to Commercial. With fire trucks needing clear space, parking on both sides narrows the lane, risking collisions and life and property damage. The plan to ban parking will be presented to the city council, and a lane-marking effort by street commissioner O. F. Teeter has begun to standardize parking angles and clear zones near hydrants and theatres. Traffic officers Johnson and Burch join the motorcycle patrol to enforce regs as the city moves toward safer, uniform downtown parking.

London May 6 The coal strike endangers Britain's racing season with possible cancellations of major events like the Derby and Royal meets. The government may bar big races unless rail and coal use are restricted. Jockey Club protests helped secure limited runs without extra rail facilities or coal wastage. The 2000 guineas proved racing can endure wartime limits, offering hope the Derby at Epsom may stay on schedule.
