CHANGE ROUTE OF
 HIGHLANDS CARS
Cross-Town Line Abolished and
 Each Will Make Loop on Nineteenth Street

The commissioners yesterday authorized the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company to make changes in the routes of the North and South High lands car lines upon the request of a large number of business men, who ap- peared, asking for the change, with the consent of the company.
 It is planned to have the South High lands car come into the city on Twentieth street, thence to Fourth or Sixth avenues probably, thence to Nineteenth street, thence to First avenue, and thence down First avenue to Twentieth street to the South Highlands.
 The North Highlands car will come into the city to First avenue on Twentieth, thence to Nineteenth street and out Nine teenth street to the northern terminus.
 The business men were headed by M, ". Joseph. They made a strong plea for the change pointing out the advantages which would accrue and the accommoda- tions which would result to the street car patrons. The precedent of the commits sioners Is to grant such petitions if the consent of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company has been se- cured. In the case yesterday that pro vision had been complied with and the or der will be granted.

BONNYMAN HERE
 FOR SHORT VISIT
Expects To See Much Better Bus mess Conditions in the
 Near Future

Alex Bonnyman, general manager of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad, was in Birmingham yesterday engaged in looking over the local prop critics of his company. He returned yesterday to Atlanta occupying the pri- vate car Birmingham" of his line He said business was very good with the Improvements could be handled well and he anticipated that a better con- dition would prevail soon.
 MT. Bonnyman was recently engaged by the Atlanta and West Point to make an inspection of the properties of that company for the stockholders. His visit over the lines gave rise to the report that perhaps he would become identified with that line. The local friends of Mir. Bonnyman have been in formed that such surmise is an error
 Mr. Bonnyman said work was being continued on the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic, getting the physical con ditions up to the maximum and that within a very short time the line would be in the condition desired by the owners
 The construction of the Atlanta, Bir-- mingha and Atlantic is held by expert engineers to be the best in the south. However, it is the ambition of the man agement to make still further improve ments in the physical condition.

SPRINKLING PLAN
 UNSATISFACTORY
Com mission Will Probably Decide on Another Method of Handling
 Situation

The chances are that the city com missiopers will not make final their ap proval of the tentative plan to op- crate bintly water cars with the Bir- minghtm Railway Light and Power compahy The plan has been in force about lone month, during which time the cily and the company have shared the csst of sprinkling the streets by the lke of a street car designed for that purpose. The car throws sprays completely over the street area and not over the tracks of the company as the old style cars did. The city commits siones believer it would be a good propbsition to handle the sprinkling on the basis of partnership but 1t is said the temporary arrangement will be re- voks1.
 The commission, it is said, will re- ouea the company to sprinkle their tracks all over the city at its own cost and dwithoue expense to the city in lieu of the transaction of one month ago.
 Idis said the sprinkling car has been rendering excellent service in every wal but the expense borne by the city is hrger than contemplated Hence the diapproval of the scheme which will probably be voiced at the meeting to- rnnrow

TELEPHONE AUDIT

Will Be Used As Basis for Considering Request To h.

 The investigation is being made in At lanta. where the records are kept, at the invitation of the Southern Bell company, which represented to the commissioners that their company has lost money by operating in this city every year since To- eating here

 TAX LEVY METHOD
one-Half Mill Road Tax Will Allow Part of Money To

Following their conference with Commissioners weatherly and Lane upon the propri,ty of making the levy of one mill road tax as prescribed Bv statute, the Board of Revenue of Jef- ferson county effected an agreement whereby the levy is 10 he made for one-half mill in which event one-half of the revenue from this source reverts to the city.
 The assessment can be made only on property within the city limits, but it Is understood that a considerable rev. enue will be turned into the eity's de- pleted coffers most seasonably.

CITY WILL GET :. ABOUT S2O;OOO Compromise Agreement With Board of Revenue
 on Road Tax

After several conferences among Com- missioners Weatherly, Lane and Presi- dent Exum with the members of the Board of Revenue. the city will not be forced to contest the county road tax fund in order to collect the s20,oOO to which the city is entitled. The officials agreed that the amount should be given the city regularly when collected, which is in line with decision of the supreme court brought to the attention of that tribunal by the city of Birmingham.
 Judge Lane said yesterday the city would get about $2O,OoO from a special as- sessment to be made which was agreed upon after series of extended confer ences between the commissioners and the Board of Revenue.
 In 1909 the city received from the road tax the sum of s27,65O. The reduction this year Is caused by restriction in terri tory not prevailing last year. Judge Lane, MT. Weatherly and President Ex um are very much pleased with the com promise affected.

 in Condition

The high motorcycle repair hills pre- sented yesterday to the commissioners for their approval caused a resolution 10 be introduced by Commissioner Lane that hereafter all repairs are to be made only where the purchasing agent has been con suited and ordered them.
 It was said by Commission Lane that the repair bills were enormous and with out reason.
 T have instructed the police depart ment strictly about repairs to their cycles," said Commissioner Lane, and would like for the commissioners to in struct the other departments. We can not stand such an enormous repair bill. Oftentimes the rider can repair his own machine if it is handled properly"
