REAL ESTATE AND BUSINESS
 CIRCLES HAVE THE BLUES
By CYLDE W. ENNIS

notable example of that is the Sloss-Shef- field Steel and Iron company, which was not raised, it is said, 8 penny. Other com panies, however, were hit hard and strong.
 Local real estate men have for the past two days been decidedly bluer than in many months. They see, immense tax raises on residential property, while busi- ness property has gone sky high. The skyscraper agents downtown are said to be worse hit than any of the interests. aside from the very large corporations. It is stated that the larger buildings were actually assessed at GO per cent of theif valuation, while the commission made 1t more. Many men here who represent bankers elsewhere that are accustomed to lend considerable money locally have ad- vised their companies of the action, and cancellations will take place of large loans here when the aspirations arrive. l. is said the business and residential rents will be increased
 lt is stated that several statements are being prepared by well known men of this city anent the increases, and that an energetic campaign will be waged to de- feat the raises by moulding the sentiment of the local public against it.

The close of business yesterday in real estate circles found the situation bluer than it has been since 1907, when the ex- tras announced the beginning of the panic.
 Real estate men and investors are al most wild over the recent raises made by the tax commission, not one of whom re- sides in Birmingham or Is possessed of an information about local conditions. Well informed men who are engaged in real estate transactions, handling business property almost exclusively say that un less the courts of this county refuse to permit the increases that the bottom will drop out of what was at one time expected to be the banner real estate year locally.
 Not only does the increase in valuation strike terror to the hearts of local men, but what is to come is even worse, It is stated that there has never been more unfair proposition handed to the people of this county. The wholly out of propor- ton increase of some companies here has caused instantaneous orders to be issued cancelling proposed improvements. Many companies were left out altogether A

CONDUCTORS ON.
 DOUBLE-STEP CARS
UTILITIES COMMISSION PASSES ORDER AGAINST RIDING ON
 LOWER STEP.
Connecticut Company Says New Cars
 Are Safer For Men.

Hartford. May 2AAn all day hear ing was given by the public utilities commission yesterday at the Capitol, on the petition of Division No. 2S1, Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees of America, requesting the commission to pass an order prohibiting the pas, sengers riding upon the running boards of the double step trolley cars. The petition said that the double steps on cars exposed trolleymen to injury from passing vehicles and to the dan- ger of being thrown off of the run- ming board. While the commission gave no decision, it directed the Con- necticut company, in case it began the operation of the double-step cars be- fore the commission gave it's finding to prohibit the riding of passengers on the lower running board.
 At the commencement of the hear ing. the petitioners filed an amended complaint as follows: "The specific dangers to which conductors will be subjected are: First; that if passeng- CTS are allowed to ride upon the first step it will necessitate the conductors collecting the fares from the second step, which will bring the conductor in closer proximity to the travelled portion of the highway in the per- formance of his duties; second, that on account of the lowering of said sec ond step the conductors view of the interior of. the crowded car. will be obstructed; third that it will be i'm possible for the conductors to regis ter fares or pull the signal bell rope for the car to stop without climbing up to the first step; fourth, that to enable the conductor to reach said signal ropes and fare register straps he will be obliged to climb up to the first step"

 There's a girl named Jones, who, having been engaged altogether too long, took advantage of leap year to hurry on her wedding. But she ac- complished this delicately. She just signed a letter to her fance, As al- ways, Edith Jones' and she under scored always and Jones' very heav,- fly.
