FAIRFIELD BEAUTY
 NDPROGRESSA ARE
 SEENBY REALTORS
Seventy-Five Members See Tennessee Company's Plants, Hospital and
 Houses

Birmingham real estate dealers
 made their annual trip to Fairfield
 yesterday, and after dining at the
 Plaza hotel, visited the Fairfield plants of the Tennessee Coal, Iron
 and Railroad company and the
 WestfieId settlement.
 About 75 members of the Real Estate exchange made up the party, and many of them got their first view of the great 5evelopments in Birmingham live sub- urb Tne rolling mill, plate mill and shaper were in operation and as the white ingots transferred by electric cranes passed successively through the roller, the planer and the shaper the visiting realtors looked on in wonder and amazement.
 THE TERRACE HOUSE
 The real estate men, however ap- loeared to take most interest in the houses built by the company for it's em- ployes, both at Fairfield and Westfield, the former for the white employees and the latter for the colored.
 The Fairfield houses are of the block type, or as President George Gordon Crawford calls them, the terrace type, with from four to six rooms each. Un- der the plan of construction every room is an outside room with plenty of light and air, and each house IS provided with running water, bath, Kitchen sink and laundry tubs, cleo tric fixtures and all conveniences. At the rear is a large court or playground.
 The members of the exchange mo- tpred to Fairfield leaving the Southern club at 12:30 o'clock, and while waiting for dinner to be served visited the mag nificent new hospital the Tennessee company is building on the top of a hill short distance from the business section of Fairfield, at cost of S1,000- 0D0. The building and the equipment of this hospital are of the latest and most approved type and when completed and furnished it will be the equal of any similar institution in the country.
 After disposng of the dinner, Hill Fterguson, at the request of President Frank F. Butler, introduced Mayor Decker of Fairfield. MT. Skinner of the the housing proposition for that com pany, and other residents of Fairfield guests of the exchange.
 MIR. JEMISON SPEAKS
 Robert Jemison, Jr., spoke on the housing problem, Wnlch ne Salu Hu b,l solved in a manner that will make for sanitation, hygiene and good liv ing. He said that many if the people of Birmingham are guilty of not know ing their own city and some of then are guilty of consciously or uncon sciously Knocking" at times. He sait that while in the service of the emerg ency fleet corporation during the wal he had charge of housing at govern ment plants and that from his stud, and observation he had come to tn conclusion that the block type of hous' was the only present solution to thu hcusing problem.
 N"Skilled labor, which will increas from time to time, wants just as goot a house IS the business man." MT. Jem 1sOn said, "and he wants the bes plumbing. heating, lighting, laundr, and all other conveniences found il modern houses"
