IMPROVEMENT NEAR. BELIEVES GOLDMAN
 ' Activity in North and East Coming South in the
 Near Future

T am optimistic; things look good" said Godfrey Goldman of McDavid. Meyer. Goldman & Terry. q believe tbst prosperity in real estate business and all other. lines is near at hand.
 T have been talking to friend who a few days ago was in New York. He tells me that the greatest optimism and business activity prevails in the east. north and middle west. He states those farmers are selling their wheat and their corn and other products for better prices than in years and conse- quently the general merchandising trade is very active and even the great CT industries, such as the iron and steel business. are showing steady improve ment there.
 "Now I believe that's what's com
 fng here. The south will he the
 Inst to feel 1t, however, because
 of our stapIe-cotton. But I believe
 that following the opening of the
 regional banks and the cotton eU-
 changes . good movement in cot
 ton will develop and just as soon
 as 1t does there will be cores
 ponding improvement in prnct- ' paIIy all lines of business.
 Real estate. right now. however, IS very quiet There is some business go- ing on, but 1t Is mostly swapping. l,it- tle money is changing hands"

NO DARK CLOUDS IN BUSINESS WORLD T. H. Motion Says There Is No Depreciation in Real
 Estate Value

There are no dark clouds hanging over us, by any means" said T. II. Mol. ton. well known real estate man There is less trading than there ha, been. that is true. but I don't know but what it is.a good thing.
 There has been too much speeula. tion in Birmingham real estate prop. erty. We don't want that. Ii makei for an unhealthy condition. And thi, present little business depression hai practically done away with it. putting us consequently on solid. firiner basi, for future real estate transactions.
 '.This is the pointi There has
 been no depreciation in values. In
 other business depressions we have

easier. The same thing, with a recent purported statement in the press from the city commissioners to the effecti that no street Improvements would be undertaken until times became better
 "Now, why in the world, should the city refuse to improve & street any where in the city if the majority of the property holders want 1t improved? 1 am under the impression that there are such streets right now. Why shouldn't the board of revenue go ahead with its new jail and give employment to many men?. They say tight money They can get money. l know people who are getting money and l don't see why the great county of Jefferson cannot get money. or the city or Bir- mingham, either.
 "I don't mean to criticize anybody every man has a right to his own views. I merely believe that prosperity would abound in this city if we started construction In all lines and further that such construction would not De hampered but would be facilitated by the present business depression. ''The reason I say this is that you can buy lumber, brick and practically every ma terial needed for construction purposes much cheaper now than for many years That's not theory; it's fact

 merchants of every line.
 Tt would put money into crcuia- ton. That Is what we need. There Is 'lots of money in our banks. Construc- ton activity would place it in circu- .lation and then in spite of the war effects on our great steel and ron making industry and on our coAtoh we'd find business depression In BIT hingham a myth"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-11-22

"Nothing, in my estimation will so enliven the local business situation as the resumption of construction activity. Some men will say this is not possible. I say it is not only possible, but 1t Is one of the most opportune times for such work.
 .sThe board of revenue should build the county jau. The city com missioners should build streets and sidewalks and sewers. The Cham
 ber of Commerce should have all
 plans ready that the minute the legislature nets upon the Birming- ham auditorium project work cnn be started upon that building. Citi-
 sens in every part of the town should build residences, stores,
 barns, everything'
 Much was contributed, probably. to the local feeling of depression by the announcement of the county board of revenue that the proposed county jail would not be built until money was
