WAS MOVING DAY
BUT FEW MOVED
REAL ESTATE MEN EXPLAIN THAT
MOST OF THE CITY LEASES
WERE SIGNED LAST OCTOBER
FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS.

Yesterday was moving day in Birming-
ham, but inquiry at the real estate and
rental offices revealed few changes among
business houses or residences. Last fall
the business men of Birmingham decided
that October 1 was the wrong time of
the year to begin leases on property,
either for business or for residence, so a
unanimous declison was arrived at to
make April l of each year the date for
renewing leases, and then and there April
! became moving day"
In the north and east May Is moving
day, but as spring comes earlier in the
south April was considered better for
change of leases than May /. Then this
is the beginning of the second quarter
Of the year and makes the quarterly pay
ment of rent more satisfactory.
Asked why moving day was not gem
orally observed yesterday prominent
real estate man explained it by saying
that when the date was settled upon last
fall nearly all property owners made their
new leases for term of eighteen months
from last October, so that the majority
of them will expire on April l. 1908, hence
very few changes were made this year.
"A great many property owners" con-
tinued this gentleman, have not agreed
to change the date of their leases from
October to April therefore quite num-
Der of tenants will renew their leases or
move as usual on October l and continue
to do so until the owners gradually fall
in line with the adopted date.
VERY little moving will be done this
year either in April or October. but you
will see a great many changes in April of
next year, for many an eighteen months
lease will expire at that time and tenants
will seek other quarters unless satisfied
with conditions
Real estate dealers yesterday declared
that the demand for residences never was
greater and that it is impossible to sup
ply this demand even with the Immense
amount of construction now under way.
Real estate dealers are busy and values
appear to be on the up grade. The
amount of real estate transfers daily In
dicateI great movement in the market
and the building permits are also rapidly
increasing.

Amusing Stunts Are Arranged for the
Big Annual Banquet to Be Given

year will overshadow all previous ones.
A crowd of prominent men will attend,
and all will vie with each other in fun
and witticism. The final rehearsal will
be held in the office of the president, Ross
c. Smith, at the First National bank
building next Wednesday afternoon at 8
o'clock.
At the meeting last night r. e. Muir
