 Adjacent Residents.
DANGER Al CROSSINGS

In connection with the recent discus sion of the proposed removal of the grass circle at Five Points, T. C.. Tn ompson favors such action. He has written The Age Herald as follows:
 Birmingham, Ala May 2S, 1908.
 To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 I have read MT. Munger's article against removing the circle at Five Points. I, for one, do not believe that the citizens in the immediate neigh. borh ood are alone to be considered This circle Is a nuisance and certainly it is not a thing of beauty l believe that notwith standing MT. Munger's idea, a large majority of the citizens of South High lands that ride on the street cars and have to be jolte1 around this circle four times a day to get to and from the city, are heartily in favor of it's entire removal. l can not see how it could increase the dan ger but, on the other hand, 1t would mean very wide and open outlet that would certainly be less dangerous in every way. Twentieth street. being so narrow approaching the circle from the city and with double car tracks on one side converging on this narrow street on a curve. is almost blocked at this point I have been frequently blocked there both in vehicle and automobile when the cars were approaching from one side, and any kind of vehicle ap- preached from the other, coming into
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-05-31

that 1t has been generally considered that it is a problem to be undertaken jointly hy all of these interests-it being realized that the city of Birmingham alone is not able at this time to consider such q large improvement at such great cost. l am fully persuaded that at no distant day the county, Greater Birmingham an1 the large industrial concerns here will take up this question in such a way ss to provide the necessary supply of water sointly, for manufacturing purposes; which, of course, could be used for do- .nestic purposes and probably cause saving to consumers of water But it does seem to me-this question being of such great magnitude and importance that for the citizens of the municipality of North Birmingham to undertake this work, and undertake to sell bonds-whiol would become an indebtedness of Greater Birmingham and an embarra ssn.ent for many, many years to come-is an assump tion that ought not to be encouraged, and I might add ought not to be to- erated I am sure that if they are shown the seriousness of this proposition and the unfairness on their part of under taking, as q small number of citizens, 10 act in this important matter for all the other citizen of Greater Birmingham.
 
 and await a suitable time for this work to be done in way that will be helpful to all and burdensome to none. l believe i; to be the duty of the city authorities Of Birmingham to take every possible step, legal or otherwise. to prevent the ereatiorf of this indebtedness-if the peo- ple of North Birmingham will not volun- tarily retire from the position which they seem to have taken.
 Mr. Friers suggestion that this enor- rous undertaking will cause the expendi- ture of large amount of money in this district and will give a large quantity of work to our pipe plants, and will enr- ploy a large number of men. all sounds very nice and very attractive, but the whole proposition is based upon false premises, and I do not believe that any thoughtful citizen, who is living in the proposed Greater Birmingham, and Who mas taxes to pay or expects to own home-will consent to this work being done at this time in the manner proposed
 I have no interest in this matter eX- cept as a citizen and taxpayer in Bir- mingham, and, therefore. l believe that other taxpayers and citizens will, on ra- aection and investigation, take the same view of this matter which l have. l have great respect for Mir Friel, but l am sure neither he nor his associates realize what they are really undertaking to do Respectfully, T. G. BUSH.

Twentieth street. I do not see how the street car company could arrange the tracks better with this unsightly circle in the way. It ought to be en- tirely removed, a it Is too small for park or play ground of any kind and cannot be of any benefit to any one. l understand that the street car company will remove this circle and pave the space if allowed to run their tracks straight. thereby saving much time and adding greatly to the comfort of their patrons, who are compelled to ride on this line. l do not understand that this little plot belongs to any property owner in the neighborhood any more than 1t does to every other citizen Tn the city. To remove it would certainly prove a blessing to the immediate com munty by minimizing the grinding noise of two car lines around this hard curve and over the necessary switches, to say nothing of adding to the com fort of hundreds of people who ride oa the cars and have no other means of getting to and from the city. Yours very truly, T. c. THOMPSON.
