TRACTION TOURING CARS
SCORE A GREAT SUCCESS

! line 70 Bessemer. Returning to Birming-
ham the ear passed over the South Bes-
semer line to Twentieth street.
This route enables touring car passen-
gers to see at somewhat close range a
great many of the natural beauties OF
the Birmingham district and to appreciate
the enormous Industrial development in
the valley.
The trip, though a sightseeing exrusioni
is indeed, something more than that. 1t
combines happily the opportunity for
sightseeing with an altogether delightful
ride in the country The second feature
is hardly less attractive than, and on a
day like yesterday was quite as enjoyable
as the first. The hills and valley were
dressed out beautifully, and the serene
sunlight was invested with singular
charm. Indeed a more delightful diver
sion for work-a-day persons could hardly
be imagined than a trip in one of these
touring cars on a bright day. The road
bed is excellent, the cars quite satisfactory
in equipment, and the trip is free from
jolting
After returning to Birmingham a run
is made around Highland avenue there
by giving all passengers a sight of Bir-
mingham's most attractive residential
street.
To the newcomer here these touring
cars will be of great advantage by rea-
son of the fact that they will enable the
stranger to seeing u few hours many of
the more important features of Birming-
hams progressiveness and prosperity. The
present routes of the cars does not, how
ever, embrace all the interesting points
either in the city or the district. Indeed,
the older residents might be Inclined to
think that the northern and eastern Sec
tions of the city had been left out Of
mind when the route was determined. 1t
has been suggested, however, that this
deficiency will in time be corrected, and
that the routes of the touring cars will
be made more widely inclusive than they
now are, provided, of course, the patron
age should justify an enlargement of pres
ent plans
