chased forty-three acres of vacant prop erty at Hill Top, ,on the South Ensley car line, from Robert A. Terrell, paying in the neighborhood of $5O,OOO.
 The property transferred lies on both sides of the car line between Palmer Ter race and Hill Top and is destined to be- come one of the most popular resident sections in the district.
 It is understood that the company acquiring the property will improve It at once by putting down cement sidewalks and grading streets. Engineers will be employed at once and will begin work laying off lots and>fnaking improvements.
 A wide, well constructed boulevard ex- tending on both sides the car line from Fairview to Palmer Terrace Is one of the Improvements contemplated by the com- pany and will add greatly to the value and attractiveness of the adjoining prop erty. Thousands of dollars will be spent at once in the improvement of the sec- ton and when all that is contemplated is completed by the company there will be no more attractive section for home- building in the Birmingham district
 The deal was closed late yesterday af- ternoon and was the chief topic of con- versation on the streets of Ensley this morning Property at Palmer Terrace has been advancing in values very rapidly and many of the best citizens of the city have been purchasing and building homes there. The opening of the undeveloped property on the highlands gives new ter ritory for this development and the new impetus given to home-building on the south side is expected to increase rap idly.
 In speaking of the transfer this morning Robert Jemison, Jr., president of the Jemison Real Estate and Insurance com pany said:
 "The block of vacant property that we have just acquired at Hill Top is beauti- fully situated for residence purposes. There are about forty-three acres in the tract and every lot has fine elevation and lies well for the purposes intended.
 "We shall employ engineers in few days who will lay out streets and grades and plan all Improvements necessary to convert the property into one of the choicest residence sections in the dis- - over the entire property and boulevard extending entirely through the tract on either side of the car line may be graded. though this Is not yet certainty. Our engineers will make report upon the feasibility of this improvement as soon as they look over the property.
 ',The entire tract is within the city lim- its of Ensley and in settling 1t we shall give special preference to citizens of Ems lev who desire homes in the section. Only white people of the better class will be allowed to settle on the property and to develop 1t we propose to make It as at tractive as the landscape gardener and the skill of the engineer can make 1t In the way of grading streets and building sidewalks.
 'Since the deal was closed yesterday af- ternoon we have had several inquiries from the best class of citizens of Ensley and Birmingham for our plans of de- velopment. Our desire Is that only sub stantial residences be built and we shall do all in our power to encourage this"
 improvements at Tuxedo.
 D. J. Anthony has purchased some lots near one of the large springs in Tuxedo park, and 1t Is rumored that he intends to erect bath houses, dancing pavilion and other park attractions

The extension of the Tuxedo car line to Sunnyside has im- proved this section very much and many new homes are being built ,long the line.
