CHANGE IN ROUTING CARS
 UNFAIR TO NORWOOD

It does not seem quite fair that residents of Norwood, one of Birmngham's finest residence districts, should be discriminated against and put to inconvenience by the rerouting of trol- ley cars in the business center of the city. Many complaints being made against the change. Merchants and people who live along the Nor wood line are dissatisfied
 Norwood cars formerly made a Hoop which enabled shoppers to reach any part of the downtown section without trouble or delay and they are practically cut off from large part of sthe shopping district
 Before the change went into> effect Norwood cars came down Nineteenth street, north, passed through First avenue to Twentieth street and thence bac kto Norwood. Now they come in on North Twentieth, turn down Third avenue and go out on North Nineteenth street This arrangement works hardship on most of the people who the cars and is hurting the patronage of some of the leading mer- chants in Birmingham. All the Iayge office buildings lie outside the new "loop' made by the Norwood line.
 The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company is probably finding it no easy matter to route cars to suit everybody, and the changes recently put into effect were de- signed to improve schedules, but some way should be found, without disrupting schedules, to give the residents of Norwood and others who live in that part of the city and use Nor wood cars the service to which they are en- titled. It will make more friends for the traction company and increase it's patronage.
