NORWAY WELCOMES OUR GOODS.
But American Exporters Are Not
Awake to Opportunities.

Norway has come to be a first-class
market for American merchandise
I though comparatively few American
exporters realize it,
ne situation Is now such that trade
between the two countries could be
greatly increased if American export
efS would send to Norway competent
and enterprising travelling statesmen.
1t IS true that a great deal of Ame
nean merchandise is now sold here.
but the amount could be greatly in
creased. Many American manufactrr-
efs make efforts to enter this market.
but the effort consists in sending. 10

opportunities here, constantly increas-
ing, but the market cannot be taken
away from Germany AMI other conn

offered that these countries are Offering

BUILDING JUMP
IN FIVE YEARS
Apartment and Dwelling Business
on BOOm-AdvanCe Greater in
Proportion Than Population.

Growth OF the apartment house
business in Atlanta is strikingly Illus
trated in figures taken from the Office
Of Building Inspector Ell +. Hays. Thu
city is erecting three apartments N
1913 where it built one five years ago.
During the first six months in 1913
there were thirteen apartments bulls
an average of more than two a monta
or a total Of 26 d year. The total cOsi
Of these was $4,000. or an average
of $4,000 per apartment.
During the first six months in 1908
eleven apartments We're built at a cost
of $95,250, or an average of $3.50
A comparison of these figures shows
a big increase in price of apartments
rather than in number, The highest
priced structure during the period e
1918 was S16S,000 and in the year
1903 $27,250
The number of dwellings in the PEI
riod jumped nearly 100 per cent, AS
did the cost. There were 1898 in 1908
and 6l2 in 1913, and the respective
aggregate costs were $8t5,320 and
81, 1905 a difference OF $629. 7O6
These increases are much greater
than the population increase in tbs
same time.

tributary streets. that is, the streets
between Forsyth and Whitehall, will
be built UP wonderfully.
Limits Of District
The ultimate consummatiOn Of this
scheme would mean that the citys
retail district in general would fall
In the territory bounded on the east
by Pryor street, on the south by a
point at Forsyth and Whitehall. on
the west by Forsyth street. and on
the north by a point at Peachtree
and North Forsyth streets Varying
from these bounds would. of course,
be the sub-seCtions radiating east
ward and westward from Peachtree
and Whitehall such as Marietta
street. Decatur street, EdgewoOd
avenue, Houston street, and East and
West Mitchell streets. The plaza
plan of bridging the railroad tracks
would fit admirably into the general
scheme.
Any limit fixed for the retail dis
trict would necessarily include a few
wholesale houses. which have begun
to seek the South Side almost eX-
clusivey Where the retail district
ends and the wholesale district be
gins is hard TO define. but in general
the limits outlined, exist for the for
mer. Wholesale dealers, by the way
are rejoicing that the southern head
quarters of Fairbanks, Morse G. Co,
Of Chicago, are to be on lower White
hall, according to announcement of
Saturday, and that a new freight ter
minal is 10 be built to care for the
wholesale trade
Another effect OF Whitehall regrad-
ing is expected to be a reimbursement
OF South Side prices. which certain
real estate men contend have long
been too low. LuCkie and Peachtree,
for instance, is set down at $4,000
a front foot, and land the same dis
lance on the other side of the rail
road tracks, at Mitchell street, $4,000
Baker street is put at $4,000 a foot
and the Forsyth street function at
$500

Locating Tenants
for SkyScraperS

The question of where tenants are
coming from 10 occupy new office
buildings is not worrying managers Of
the buildings very much since it il
remembered that skyscraper space
has never yet gone begging. MANY
tenants win come from outside cities
and many will move from cramped
quarters which they have been forced
to take because they couldn't locate
in other office buildings. A few will
change from the older skyscrapers to.
the newer ones.
the policy of the management OF
the Hurt Building is not to canvass
Tor tenants until the said prospects
lave first made inquiry about floor
pace In fact. this is considered the
proper thing by practically all ~local
Office building managers. who make
no effort to disturb tenants satisfied

Last Objection Overcome and Work Will Start
Oct 15-Land Values to Jump.

Property owners in the path of re-
grading on Whitehall street are ar
ranging to adjust themselves to the
new conditions following announce
ment- that Mayor Woodward had
indorsed this project Internationally
and that work will actually start Oc-
tober Is.
The withdrawal OF all formidable
opposition to this improvement
marks the end Of fight that has last
ed actively two years or more. and
which has been waged by people who
are seeking to open up the south
side to more easy operation of
trade and traffic.
For years the dip at BrothertOn
street has kept the city's retail dis
trict from growing southwark and
has depressed property values. Now
there will be a fill of eight feet at
this point and a corresponding cut Of
eight feet at Trinity avenue, two
blocks northward. Brotherton street
is al a sharp turn in Whitehall, two
short blocks north of the South For

Business District to Extend,
The cost OF the work is estimated
at $4,000. $4,000 being needed from
the city and $4,000 having been
guaranteed by property owners. 1t
is the plan eventually to extend this
work to the railroad tracks at West
End, in which case the cost will nee
essarily be much greater.
Up TO the present time retail stores
have not gone to any extent below
Trinity avenue, but after the regard

business district will be extended 10

Old dame rumor is busy about ju-

prognostications are correct, there will
be marked change about the court

With the resignation of Justice vii

ter the gubernatorial race, there will
be a fat office to be filled, and it is
intimated that District Judge Russell
of this city is slated for the position.
No matter what may be said pro and
con relative to this matter, his Gp-
pontment to this position would be a
good one, as it is conceded that as
jurist he has no superior in the state,
if in the southwest, and his friends are
hoping that he will land, if he wants
the job. 'is.l
Should Judge Russell be called TO
the supreme bench, there will occur
a vacancy in the district judges cf
