commodious and we'll ventilated and 1 lighted
 Pelzer's new building. on Tallapoosa Street. near Bibb, is another of the ex. cellent buildings ofthe year. The cost of the building was s32.s00. The struc. ture is modern and we'll built, conven- lent and in the business heart of the city.
 R. F. Ligon has set the pace for the erection of residences during the present year. His dwelling on South Perry Street was erected at cost Of s15.000 and is on of the most up-to. date dwellings in the city. The build ing, also, serves as a stimulant to ac- tivity in buildings in this section of the city, the extreme southern. The Roemer warehouse. on North Court Street and Bibb, was another of the handsome structures to be erected during the present year. The struc- ture is of brick and stone, is commo- dious and convenient. It was erected at a cost of s20,00o.
 The new, theatre. upon which work was begun this summer on Dexter Aves nue, between Lawrence and McDonough Streets. Is another of the handsome buildings to be erected this year :. While the structure i'll permit called for an expenditure Of only s36,509, the cost of the erection will exceed this amount by about $S0.000.
 The new theatre is being erected by Montgomery company, in which Jake Wells of Richmond, Va, is largely in- terested. It Is understood that the theatre will be handsomely fitted out. of large seating capacity and excellent decorations. It will be sufficiently completed in the course of the next month to admit of plays this winter in the structure.
 A .-roa4 ,,,,r.+,,.t a,,~tn,- $hn aS+ eleven months has been given to the erection of apartment houses. One of the first of these structures to be an- nounced this year was the Jones AparS- ment House on South Court Street, to be erected at cost of $9,200. The building will be of brick, modern and convenient, with all sanitary, water and electric and gas connections.
 A larger apartment house that has been contracted for is one which is to be erected by Messrs. Westcott & Thornton, and which has just been permitted by the engineering depart ment of the city government The structure will be pebble-dashed, in every respects modern and will cost about s10.000.
 New Church Ediace.
 The only church structure to be con traeted for during the year was the Highland Avenue Baptist Church. This building will cost about $12,000, will be of frame and will serve as a hand some addition to this section of the city.
 The church will consist of two dis tinct auditoriums, which may be con- verted into one apartment whenever necessity demands it. In one of the sections will be the main auditorium the church room, and in the other will I.,r 0nb \ ordffnFiIIFn Around these will be class rooms. as- sembly rooms and the pastors study.
 Rapid strides have been made to- wards the completion of. the First Bap- tist Church on South Perry Street, but as yet the building is still in an un- tenable condition. and will doubtless continue so for several months. How ever, all exterior work has been prac- tically completed, and work will be- gin on an early completion in the very near future. The church build ing is recognized as one of the hand somest in the South.
 Work has already been begun on the erection of the new Western of Alabama warehouse. which is being erected to replace the handsom struc- ture which was burned to the ground few months ago. The new warehouse will cost about $15,0O0, and will be an exact counterpart of the building burned, and of the building next to it.
 As illustrative of the livestock pros- perity during the past eleven months, mention is made of the new stables which are to be erected on South Perry Street and Jefferson. and which are to be occupied by Abraham Brothers.
 The stables are to be used for the sale of mules. which industry is one of the city's proudest and most valued. both from the commercial and sentt- mental view point. Ranking. as 1t does, the second mule market of the United States, the new building will but serve to impress upon the minds of the citizens the city's achievements in this direction.
 The stables will, in all probability, cost about $40.000. They will be mod ern, substantially built and commodi- ous and within easy reach of trans. portation facilities.
 Commercial Club Quarters
 The chief repair work of the year was that begun by A. L. Tyson of this city and completed a few months ago. on Court Square. The remodelled building is now occupied by the Com mercial Club, second floor; Kress's store on the first, and by social or ganization on the third.
 The repairs to the old structure cost $20,725, and consisted of the erec- ton of new walls and an entire change of the building plan. It is now three stories in height, is handsomely equip ped and one of the most serviceable buildings in the city.
 Among the structures to be complet- ed this year were the annex to the Capitol, the annex to the Court Street Methodist Church and the Young Mems Christian Association.
 The annex to the Capitol was the most costly of the three structures, embracing a big expenditure, and re-
