DR.. DENNY ACCEPTS
D|SPENSARY PLAN
Writes He Will Cooperate
Toward Building When
Materials Are Cheap

Word has been received from DIR.
George Denny, president of the Uni
versity of Alabama, to the effect that
he will be glad to cooperate in every
way possible with the real estate ex-
change in fastening construction work
on the proposed free medical dispensary
of the university in Birmingham dur
ing the present times when building
materials are very cheap.
DR.. Denny is expected to take the
matter UP and confer again with the
real estate exchange at a later date.
One proposition, IL is stated is that the
dispensary might be partly built at
this time, if enough money is not at
hand to complete tho entire building.
1t has been suggested that the outside
structure, the walls. floors and roof
might be constructed now while ma :
teria1s are cheaper and then as col
lections on the fund which has been
subscribed for the dispensary come In
the building can be finished at a later
date
The real estate men of Birmingham
are strongly advocating construction In
all lines during the present business
depression, as building materials Of all
kinds. they state. are cheaper now
than they have been in many years. It
is with this in view that they recently
passed a resolution requesting that the
dispensary be built now IL possible.

APPRA|S|NG BOARD
Being KEPT BUSY
Listing of For Sale Prop
erty on the Exchange
Continues


During the past week the real estate
exchange appraisement board Yves en-
gagged to appraise the valuation of eight
pieces of property in the city. This
appraisement board has become one OF
the most active phases of the real es-
tate exchange work
The board is enga ged by anyone de-
string an accurate appraisement OF prop
erty by experts. The city has adopted
the policy of having every piece OF prop
erty 1t buys first appraised by this board,
which charges a nominal fee for its SER
vices.
Listing of for sale property on the ex-
change increases and negotiations are
on for one or two sales 1t is said,
through the exchange medium. Real es-
tate men expect big things from this
scheme as soon as a little more life Is
injected into the real estate market by
returning prosperity.
