OFFICE BUILDING NEEDED

Ensley. April 27.-(special. )-since the
consolidation of the First National bank
of Ensley with the Bank of Ensley and
all the business transferred to the Bank
of Ensley building at the corner of Ave-
nue. E and Nineteenth street, the quar-
tiers have become so crowded that it viii
be necessary for the institution to seek
more eommodious quarters in the very
near future.
l'sleed 1t is almost impossible to ac-
commodate the increased force of clerks
that the enlarged business requires, with
out such crowding that none can handle
their work with the proper ease
1t is understood that Ramsay and Me-
cormack, owners and proprietors of the
institution, are now figuring on larger
and more convenient quarters for the bank
and it is possible that large new build
ing will be erected on the opposite cor
ner at present occupied by the old frame
building of the Ensley Land company.
While no announcement has yet been
made It is very probable that this build
ing will be erected this year and it is
possible that the work will begin before
summer. This building has been under
contemplation for some time, but not
until the present time has the necessity
for 1t been so apparent.
VIII Be Elegant Building.
1t is understood that when the building
is erected it will be far superior to and
much larger than any business block
now in the city. possibly four or FIVE
stories high. Bnsley is in sore need of
an office building and it is the opinion
of those interested in the project that
this location would be ideal for such a
building 1t is practically in the center of
the city and convenient to every point
of Importance.
The growth and prosperity of the Bank
of Ensley is a matter of pride to all
the people of this city and is considered
to be one of the strongest institutions
of the kind in the Birmingham district
Ball Game Today.
The Ensley baseball team will play
its first match game of the season to-
morrow afternoon at Tuxedo park when
it meets the picked team from Howard
college at $3.50 o'clock.
1t is expected that the game will be
one of the most exciting ever played by
a local team in this city and the at
tendance will likely be very large.
The Rev. Raymond G. Sherer will UNI
pire the game. The ladies have been es-
pecially invited to attend.
