Bessemer. April 15.--CSpe pecial) )-Op- position to the proposed change in re- routing the cars of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company ID the business section of the city has ap- peared among the business men, ana an effort will be made to have the com pany extend the loop being used at present on Eighteenth street instead of building the tracks on Twentieth street, as proposed in the ordinance submitted to the city council at their last meet ing,
 The new loop considered by the com pany will extend from Nineteenth street to First avenue. and will turn down Twentieth street to Fifth avenue, where it will join the main line on Nine teenth street. The opposition to this route is based on the fact that an unattractive section will be traversed, the section containing mainly wholesale houses and negro stores and that tran sient passengers on the cars would get false impression of the civic enter prise of the city.
 Civic organizations in the city will urge that the old tracks on Eighteenth street be continued to Fifth avenue, making a reverse loop from the one proposed by the company, and the line would pass through the most attrac- tive and populous section in the city.
 Considerable opposition has arisen to the new route, and the civic bodies will make a strong fight against the change, it is stated
 The Rotary Club enjoyed pleasant gathering at their regular weekly luncheon Thursday. Reports of com mittees who are working on civic inn provements were heard. An interesting talk was made by Robert Williams, Birmingham Rotarian, and Mrs. Mary Gillen entertained the members with recital of original songs and readings, which were generously applauded. Mrs. Charles w. Nixon played several selec- dions that were well received.
