 posed Changes

City Commissioner William L. Har- .rfson and his colleagues will settle so far as the commission is concerned the question of abandoning the Tide water ear line at conference be- tween the commission and the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company representatives at 10 o'clock Friday morning.
 This announcement was made Mon- day after an extended session in which Commissioners Harrison. and McLendon studied the question. call ing in City Attorney w. J. Wynn and City Engineer A. J. Hawkins for technical advice.
 The commissioners indicated after the conference Monday morning that aan exeeedingly strnng array of facts would be necessary to convince them that the Tidewater line should be abandoned. So far as they could as- the proposed move, is entirely un- justified and would be opposed by the commission unless the company could produce reasons hithertofore unseen.
 Proposed RerOuting.
 The proposal of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. as shown Monday by MT. Hawkins, calls for the abandoning of large stretches of track and possibly junking it. The company plans to Into two separate divisions. The western end Is to be changed with the abandoning of the Pratt City loop.
 This proposal calls for loop be- ginning at the postoffice on Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street to First avenue, along First avenue to Seventeenth street and out on Fifth avenue.
 At the owenton -Ensley crossing r. is planned to have the Tidewater cars run on the Owenton- -Ensley tracks to Tuxedo Junction, abandon ing the present Tidewater tracks be- tween those two points. From there on it will be operated on the Tide water track.
 Eliminating ali track on Fifth ave- nue from Nineteenth street, through the Terminal station subway and ou to Forty-first street and Avenue Avondale, is proposed also. It is pro- posed to reroute the Tidewater cars over to- the Avondale and Avenue c cars and gos out over the Avondale line. 5.'<
 o Q O
 Lies With State. N Should the commission refuse to acquiese to the proposals of the trac- tioR company the matter probably will be referred to the Alabama pub lie service commission, Commissioner Harrison sad The, decsion of 2, tho commission is by no means final. the public service commission having final jurisdiction.
 Other questions of franchise rights, extensions and adjustments will be taken up with the representatives Friday. including the contention of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power officials that the city should pay for heat furnished the city hall and jail. City Attorney W. J. Wynn began an investigation of this mat ter late Monday afternoon.
 : When. asked what the city's opin- lion probably would be he said that as far as his findings were concerned he saw no reason why the city should be made to pay for this serv- ice under his construction of the franchise and it's amendments. His study however, had not been com pieted at%thIs time.

CLEANING UP THE SCENERY.

There has been much public
agitation to remove unsightly
billboards from scenic spots on
beautiful highways which are
being built in various states.
Without waiting for legisla.
ton on the subject, one of the
largest users OF sign boards on
the Pacific coast, the Standard
Oil company of California, has
removed over a thousand of its
road signs.
Other large companies in this
section, which is noted for its
beautiful scenery, have indicat
ed their willingness to follow the
lead of the Standard Oil com.
pany. Comment has been al
most unanimous in favor of this
action.
Nothing is more unsightly
than a collection of fifty seven
varieties of signs as one enters
every town or city. or at points
where the eye is attracted by a
beautiful view or some other OBJ
ject of interest.
