IN THE BIRMINGHAM
 REAL ESTATE MARKET

The week opened yesterday with an active day in the local real estate market. The number of transactions in property located in the residence portions of the city was large. and real estate in all To- calities is selling for goodly prices. Ac- tivity in the selling of property situated in the business parts of the cty is still lacking on account of the difficulty ot finding buyers who will pay the prices demanded. A local real estate agent said however, that he believed that before long the present owners of centrally located realty who are willing to sell, will get their own prices, since there is no evil dence whatever of the decrease of value of this grade of property.
 Papers were filed in the probate clerk $ office yesterday recording eight trans actions in local real estate which involved each amounts equal to $iooO or more. These deals involved aggregately &HooJ' an average of $3i37 50 They were as fol- lows:
 R. F. Collins and J. C. Scott to W. R. McVay, the west half of lot 16 in block S1. the consideration for which was S9co. This property fronts twenty-five feet on Second avenue. extending back l4o feet to the alley. and is between Twenty-fourtn and Twenty-fifth streets.

Checking up the Books.

State auditor was recently in the city checking the books of the county commissioners. He has since made a rul- ing that many of the members. both of the old and of the present board have received more money than. the law allow ed and that all who have drawn sums in excess of s10n in the course of a year must refund the difference. Then. too the Pilot commissioners have instituted mandamus proceedings against the coun- ty commissioners to compel them to pay for the harbor police. Several years since, owing to violations of harbor regulations by vessels in the bay it was found nec- essary to establish harbor patrol the expense to be borne by the county. This was kept up until the board refused long CT to pay and now the Pilot commission CTS bring suit to force the county board to defray this necessary expense.
 Friday the End inst. will stand for some wears to come as the wettest. windiest. and otherwise most disagreeable day of years. The continuation came during the night however. when very severe wind rain and hail storm held sway for a short time. lighted up by an electrical display seldom witnessed. The hailstones were the largest seen here for many years
 Fortunate the storm was of short dura- ton, and little damage was done.
