Taken If the People
Ask 1t

That he would Place in service owl cars

peared to be a reasonable reflection of the
sentiments of mis- patrons was an an
nouncement Of G. |. Brown, general man
ager of the Tidewater yesterday. On ac-
count of that additional service on the
part of the Birmingham Railway, Light

that perhaps the Tidewater would also
make that move. Mr.. Brown said his
company had bcen contemplating such a
step several weeks, but did not think It
wise until the Last Lake line wa scom-
pleted Inasmuch as that division Is
about ready Mr.. Brown has given more
thought to the owl car proposition.
IF the people request owl car service,
said Mr. Brown, we will be glad to conf
ply with that request OF course. the
patronage would be a matter of serious
consideration out we stand ready to give
the people whatever we have on hand il
they think 1t needful. We are here as a

pend upon us for efficient service

but said meeting would be held next
week after which there is chance that
something would be given out. Mr. Brown

plans have not been abandoned.
The Tidewater interests are now bui.d-
ing to Bessemer as rapidly as possible.
That work will be completed within the
next few months. The Tidewater owns
the street railway in Tuscaloosa which
is being electrified and from that point
owns a boat line to the gulf coast BY
constructing comparatively short mile

mingham and Tuscaloosa and as easily
Mobile, the objective gulf point.

of the Tidewater development and said
he preferred to wait until the stoclhold
ers meet before anything is given out
