LONE WOMAN MAKES
 LOSING FIGHT IN THE FAIRFIELD COU N GIL
Jitney Line To BeSSemer And Birmingham Is
 Licensed
FAIRFIELD BUREAU THE AGE-HERALD

One lone woman combatted unsus- cessfully the entrance of the jitney line inte Fairfield before the city council Wednesday night With Mayor NJ. w. Pratt and four aldermen arrayed against her, Mrs. C. H. Fisk, only woman councilman. tried to pre- vent the issuence of a jftney license to Birmingham operators. It is planned to initiate a jitney line be- tween Bessemer and Birmingham, using Fairfield streets as the con meeting link. It was said in favor of the jitneys that they would elim-
 mate the long detour by the state fair grounds fire m Fairfield to Bes- semer and thereby save workmen in Fairfield considerable time in reach ing their homes. In IS much as there
 is no street railway line south of Fairfield through Dolomite to Besse mer, it was argued that the jitneys would serve a territory needing such facilities.
 Mrs. Fisk, however. argued that the absence of responsibility. the very efficient service now rendered by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company and the general unrelia bilities Of jitneys was suffi- olent to deny them their request in Fairfield. She urged the council to refrain from any action which might jeopardize the present relations eX-
 sting between the street railway company and the city of Fairfield. She said that the jitneys would serve no useful purpose, and might be the cause of impairing the unusually good service now rendered to Fair field by the street railway company. Arguments, however, were unavall- ing.
 As sClace to Mrs. Fish the council promised her to pass an ordinance of regulation which would be very strong. and would carry with 1t an Eindemnity bond as protection for nassengers who might be injured. This will be passed at a later meet ing. This jitney line will operate from Bessemer to Birmingham The fare for the entire trip will be 30 cents. and from Fairfield to either Eessemer Or Birmingham will be 10 cents,
