Rerouting Of Cars on
Many Lines Urged By
Delegation Of CitiSens
Plan Submitted Commission Has Strong Support From
Prominent Men-Provides for Operation of Many Lines
From East to West and From North to South Through
Entire City and Standardization Next Monday

A delegation of citizens appeared be-
fore the city commission yesterday aft
ernoon and presented plan for the re-
routing of street cars on several lines
of the Birmingham Railway. Light and
Power company.
| Gen. Louis v. Clark acted as chair
man for the committee and made a
strong talk, proposing the change in
the various routes of street cars and
pointing out the advantages that would
accrue therefrom. The proposed change
was discussed by the commissioners
and members of the committee. A
called for next Monday at 3 o'clock, at
which time the problem will be dis
cussed and some action taken.
Among those who appeared before
the commission were: Gen. Louis ".
Clark, chairman; Louis Gelders, secre-
tary; w. J. Miner, Frank Nelson,
Frank B. Fowlkes, James Hood, W. O.
Broyles N. l.. Miller, John M Cald-

In speaking of the rerouting of the
street cars, General Clark said;
GENERAL CLARK SPEAKS
1.-THE present street car rerouting
plans are Indicative of the strong COM
munity spirit, being literally and met
aphorically speaking, a get-together'
movement The plan originated in the
minds of some wide-awake citizens
whose aims is always to bind the COM
munity into closer union. The pro-
posed changes in the street car lines
link east to west and north to south
old Birmingham to the newer suburbs
and the outlying districts to one an
other.
The purpose of the plan Is to put
all of Birmingham on equal footing
and to knit the parts of Greater Bir-
mingham into a perfect and concrete
whole. The method is simple, practi-
cal and efficient and If carried out,
would bind the city in network of d.
rect lines of transportation.
Cali citizens should be interested in
this evidence of the 'get-together'
spirit. Nor should the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company
fail to respond to the community ap-
peal.
This is only the beginning of the
great things which can be accom-
plished by cooperation. instead of
fighting, and as such the rerouting
plans. proposed after great thought on
the part of the citizens committee, and
suggested for the good of the whole
of Birmingham. take on a special sig
nificance. -l.-,.
HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS
THE proposed plan of rerouting the
street car lines so that the Lakeview cal
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-08-15

is united with the Norwood line should
make strong appeal to the mothers OF
high school children. The necessity OF
transferring in the business section of the
city in order to reach the Central High
school has been an unfortunate feature
of the old car system. The young school
girl, compelled to wait on windy corners
on cold winter mornings and tempted
to stay in town after school hours, to
picture shows and what-not, has caused
much unfavorable comment in the past
1t would be a great qualification to the
mothers of the city If by a simple change
of routes, the whole question could be
solved. Then the high school would
become the central high school, indeed -
Following is the proposed routing as
submitted by the delegation for the con-
sideration of the city commission:

RECEIVE RECRUITS
FOR CAVALRY TROOP
Seventeen Men Enlist in
Local Organization at
First Meeting

The work of recruiting the first troop
of cavalry. which it is planned for Biz
mngham to offer as a unit of the new
cavalry regiment, started with rush
last night, when II recruits were received
at the first meeting at the city hall
Among the number were several former
members of the local troop, including
Sergeant Dewitt, an experienced nom
commissioned officer in the cavalry who
will assist Lieutenant Powell IN forming
the troop.
That the war department is anxious
to hasten the recruiting of the cavalry
regiment in this state was indicated by
the receipt of information from Washing
ton last night to the effect that cap
tain in the cavalry of the regular army
was Being sent to this state to assist in
the work. Officers of the state troops
interpret this action as meaning that the
department wants to have the new regi-
ment ready so as to follow the other
Alabama troops to the border at the
earliest possible moment.
News from over the state is to the
effect that the necessary number of men
for the troops have been secured in
about six cities and towns and the others
report splendid progress. 1t seems that
the cavalry regiment is to be recruited
to full war strength easier than the other
branches of the service, despite the fact
that the cavalry had no troops in this
state to serve as nucleus
Charles B. Powell, Jr., who is leading
in the effort to form one of the local
troops, stated last night after the meet
ing that he would doubtless receive
a number of men who were formerly con-
nected with Troop D. He urged all young
men who were interested in this troop.

or not, to call at his office in the Lyric
building and let him explain the propo-
Sition. i

President Wilson promised in be-
