Two Letters Received by
Chamber Asking About
Conditions Here

Assistant Secretary W. 3. Everett Of
the Chamber of Commerce stated yes
terday that he was in receipt of two
letters from moving picture companies
expressing a desire to come to Bir-
mingham and take views about the dis
trict.
one letter was from the Lyman II.
Howe company of Wilkesbarre, Pa, and
asked the cooperation of the Chamber
of Commerce in securing permits to
take views in the coal mines and the
great industrial plants of the district.
These pictures are to be used, according
to the letter, for the world tours of the
Lyman II. Howe moving pictures.
Mr. Everett answered by pledging
that the Chamber of Commerce, through
its officers, would do all in its power
to render the stay OF the Lyman IL.
Howe company in Birmingham as
pleasant and profitable as possi-
BILE, and stated that already there
were two companies representing the
largest moving picture firms In the
country making films in the district
and that another was due In few
weeks.
The other letter was from the Lor-
bran Motograph company of Philadel-
phia, an independent moving picture
concern, which inquired into conditions
in and about the Birmingham district
for moving picture purposes. This let
ter was also answered with an invi-
tation from the Chamber of Commerce
to come to Birmingham
The moving picture magazines and
other trade journals of that industry
are giving much space at present to
Birmingham and its wonderful seene-
ry. This accounts in part for the nu
merous inquiries by mail to the Cham
Der of Commerce by leading moving
picture companies for information re-
garding Birmingham. This is highly
gratifying to the Chamber Of Com
merce as 1t all advertises Birmingham
in the best way possible.
Yesterday the ISalem players moved
from the Morris hotel to their newly
leased studio on Shades mountain. They
are now located and will start on the
first picture this morning, unless the
weather is bad.

Discusses Repnrt

In speaking of the report, Mr. Mat
thews said:
Nineteen twelve was a record breaker
but 1913 will be a wonder, as l can already
see permits aggregating an estimated cost
of $4.5oo.o00 in the next three months
This is caused by the fact that there is
at the present moment several millions
of dollars worth of building being prof.
ected and hardly any of these jobs have
yet called for their permits. That they
will soon ask for them is an assured fact
and predict that 1913 instead of show
ing a gain of 100000, as 1912 over 1911,
will show at least 100000. This year
will undoubtedly be the most wonderful
building year that Birmingham has ever
