MAKES LESS CONFUSION

Ensley. November 9.-(SpecaL1-Th people of Ensley are pleased with the present schedule of the cars on the lines of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. and the majority seem to desire that the present schedule which was adopted by the company during the state fair be continued permanently
 As operated now the cars on the north and south Ensley lines do not make a loop at this place as they did before the fair. The cars on each line come out from Birmingham and return on the same line looping around one block in the heart of Ensley.
 The change was made during the fair to avoid congestion on the South Ensley line on account of the extra travel and the extra cars that had to be operated on that line at the time. The south line being several minutes shorter than the north line the schedules often became confused. causing unavoid- able delays This obstacle Is obviated by operating the lines separately, and the public is pleased with the new order of things.
 | During the fair the officers of the com pany recognized the difficulties of the old schedule and the fair schedule having worked satisfactorily it has been kept up and it is understood that the present schedule will be made permanent if the people of Ensley desire it. In speaking of the new schedule today Attorney w. w Shortridge of this city said: 'I believe that almost everybody In Ensley is pleased with the present schedule in operation on the lines of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company entering this city.
 'erhe present schedule is less eompli- cated and gives better service in every way. The North Ensley line is consid- erably longer than the South Ensley line, and when a loop is made by the cars they often become confused on the northside and annoying delays are the result.
 T am told that the present schedule also admits of better service fin the handling of large crowds by the employees of the company, but the most satisfac- tory result of the present schedule is the lack of delays on account of confusion of cars.
 T understand that after the fair dur ing which time the present schedule was in operation on account of the heavy busi- ness on the South line the officers de- cided to continue the schedule If it met with the approval of the public. am sure that the people of Ensley are pleased with the present system of service, and believe that the company will continue it."
