TIDEWATER CARS
 CHANGE ROUTE
Quicker Schedule Provid-
 ed Under New Opera tiOn System

The loag expected change'in the route of the Tidewater lines was in effect Friday morning. The line which was projected years ago by J. M. Dewberry and associates, and later operated by Morris Brothers of Philadelphia has been, it was stated a steady money loser from the time of it's first operations. The property was secured by the Bir- company some years ago and is q part of the. Birmingham Electric company system The officials plan to abandon a considerAble portion of the traekE splitting the line in Birmingham and making it into three divisions.
 The statement was made here Friday that the cars from Fairfield and those to Pratt City would not be interrupted, but the same schedules would be con- tinued and operating conditions main tained as in the past. In order also to care for the through passengers from this section it is stated that through cars will be arranged for that special purpose. The normal schedule operating east from Ensley calls for the cars to turn south at Nineteenth street and Fifth avenue, thence on Nineteenth street to First avenue, thence to Sev- enth. street and to First avenue where the old line is taken up again and used for the return trip.
 In Ensley the opinion was expressed Friday that the change would be bene- ficial in that in would provide quicker schedules from Ensley to Birmingham as many grade crossings are eliminated by, the split and this has invariably caused a delay in the cars of the west ,ern section. So far there has been little objections spoken of the change.
 The operating officials of the Bir- mingham Electric company are said to be working out a schedule which wiIl prove to be agreeable to all users of the former Tidewater line.
