failed to bring the material greatness
which they seemed to promise. 1t was
the climate that won the battle for
Fairhope. Set on plateau above the
water. the town is swept by sea breezes
all summer and yet is remarkably mild
in the winter. It has become a COM
bination winter and summer resort,
and as such 1t may yet attain great
ness and fame.
Today Fairhope is an incorporated
town of the state of Alabama, with a
population of $500. It owns 1900
acres of land worth about $4,000. The

year, and a similar lot just outside of
the city is worth $500. So you can see
that the Fairhope Association really
saves money for its members.
The Fairhope people are proud OF the
success of their venture, and are al
ways willing to try anything new in
the way of cooperative OF community
enterprise. At one time they had a
cooperative store, but it was given up
after a fair trial because at that time

The city's browning business achieve

fifty or sixty feet above the water,
and the rest of the world is by boat.
In order to expedite it's shipments, a
wharf was built on the bay, and a
railroad on which gasoline cars are
operated was built from the water
front to the center of the town. This
system has not only boosted business
in the city, but has been a paying
property in itself.

plea for uniformity of state laws re-

the secretary of the association, E. B.
CASTOR, only survivor of the original
colony and perhaps the most influential
man in Fairhope.
The conflict between politics and eff
ficient methods, which has brought
about commission government in sc
many American cities, does not figure
in Fairhope's destiny, because it never
had any politics IN the usual sense
of the world. In that fact lies its
significance as a municipal experiment
The Fairhope founders believed that
as the city grew the increased value
of it's land would more than meet its
increased municipal needs. Instead of
paying to landlord a rent SUFFICIENT
to enable him to pay the taxes and
mae a personal profit, the Falrhope
citizens would pay directly to the city
a rental on the land alone which
would suffice to run the government.
Landlords, real estate dealers and all
that other class which lives and grows
fat on the growing value of the land
without producing anything, were TO
have no place in Fairhope.
