 Birmingham is essentially a city of homes. No city with the same popula- tion as Birmingham covers such a wide territory and it is this fact which en- ables such large percentage of the eity's population to own their own homes,
 This extensive development of subur- ban property was only made possible by the policy of expansion adopted by the street railway company in the early days of Birminghams growth and de- velopment Many suburbs and some of the choicest residential sections in the city owe their development to the fact that the street railway company stood ready to cooperate with developers in making home sites available in unlimited quantity.

CAN OWN HOME AND WORK WHERE PLEASE

Unlike many street railway com panies, which hesitated to make ex- tensions of car lines because the long hauls were not profitable as compared with the heavy traffic in the thickly populated districts close in, the Birming- ham Railway. Light & Power company not only built lines wherever the busi- ness justified, but co-operated in many instances to the extent of anticipating the need and making the development of suburban and other residential prop erty possible by constructing car line before enough homes had been built to warrant the improvement.
 This situation, coupled with the ire quent operation of cars on all lines, has enabled the man of small means to buy his home in any part of the city and suburbs he desired with the full knowl- edge that no matter where he might want to work, he could do and still live in the home he had purchased. Rapid and frequent operation of cars with transfers enabled him to get to and from his work at all times and in all conditions of weather without serious delay or inconvenience.
 It ie due to this situation more than any other that it has been possible for men with small means to purchase lots 1t low prices and own their own homes.
