CHANGES ON OTHER LINES

The announcement is made by the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com- pany that the new electric line now be- ing built to Glen Iris, Richmond Place and Idlewild will be put into service on October 1.
 New transfers for all lines will have to be made so as to include the new branch They have been ordered, and all are dated from October 1. The new line will run from directly in front of Idlewild park and cars starting there will go to Twelfth avenue and Twenty-sixth street, north, so that the company will have one more cross-town line.
 The greater part of the track for the new line is now laid and the only work that remains to be done is the putting in of some switches and turns and some further grading. When cars are put on the new line they will run every fifteen minutes The route will be. starting from Twelfth avenue and Twenty-sixth street, north along Twelfth avenue to Twenty fourth street, down Twenty-fourth to Eighth avenue to Nineteenth street on Nineteenth street to First avenue, on First avenue to Twenty-second street, on Twenty-second to Avenue B, on Avenue B to Sixteenth street, south. on sixteenth to Avenue c, on Avenue c to Fifteenth, on Fifteenth to Avenue H, on Avenue H to Montgomery street, and on Montgom- cry street out to 1diewild park.

 In order to make this arrangement change will be made in the Powderly line Beginning October 1 Powderly cars will no longer go to Twelfth avenue, north' and Twenty-sixth street, but will turn back on Twenty-first street and go west as at present
 A change will also be made In the run ming of the Gate City cars. They will come to Eighth avenue and Twenty-sixtn street, North, as at present From there they will go on Eighth avenue to Twenty fourth street. on -Twenty-fourth street 10 Sixth avenue. on Sixth avenue to twenty first. on Twenty-first to Second avenue, on Second avenue to Nineteenth street and out.
 All other lines will remain unchanged from the present arrangement. It IS thought that the new arrangement of the lines will facilitate the handling of pas sengers and will be for the benefit of all concerned
 IdIewId Formerly Highland Park.
 The name Idlewild, which has been given to what was formerly Highland Park, was selected for the reason that so many cars already have the word High land on them. 1t was feared more or less confusion would be caused. Cars are now running which bear the names Highland Loop" "Highland Avenue" and North and South Highlands" and 1t was thought that the addition of Highland Park would add to the confusion of passengers and of conductors in punching transfers.
 The poles for the new trolley line be- tween Powderly and Bessemer have all been set, with ore exception, of those leading into Bessemer proper. There is Considerable discussion in progress among the citizens of Bessemer as to which route the new line shall enter the city. The railway company is willing to abide by the decision of the citizens, but as yet TO agreement has been reached
