COST OF BUILDING

Il was surprised to find that the cost of building a house under existing con ditions would not exceed the cost of similar building erected before the war by more than 20 per cent. We were able to buy hardwood for floors from the mills at $50 per 1000 feet and pine at S25, although the quotations made here were $50 and $3S, respectively"
 Mir. Meriwether stated that if they had 20 new houses they could sell every one of them without trouble
 We find that a house built now even at a profit" MT. Meriw ether said.
 Talk of three or four large apart ment buildings and of other houses to be erected in the near future is heard on every hand, but interested parties. when asked about it. say they have not fully decided.
 In the meantime the demand for houses and apartments does not abate and rentals continue to advance. On the first of April there will be gen. eral advance of from 10 to 50 per cent in rental prices. with some people demanding as high as $40 month for a single furnished room with bath.

MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION

w hat good will it do for us to put low rates into effect and bring the freight to river points, unless there is some way of transporting it from the river to Birmingham" asked Mr. Brent when approached by an Age Herald re- porter for information as to proposed through water and rail rates to and from Birmingham.
 Sometime ago Secretary O. L. Bum of the Birmingham Traffic association filed a petition with the Birmingham district freight traffic bureau for a combina- ton water-rail rate to and from Bir- mingham, but subsequently, this was re- turned by the committee with the sug- gestior that it be taken up with Judge Chambers of the United States railroad administration, who has charge of such matters. Mir. Brent and MT. Bum have held several conferences with reference to proposed rates, and in view of the action of the Birmingham district traffic committee the Warrior river committee deemed it advisable to have MT Brent come here for a conference, at which the whole matter could be gone into and the plan of procedure decided upon
 At the conference held in the Cham Der of Commerce auditorium yesterday morning 15 members of the Warrior river

Chairman w. D. Nesbitt Of the War rib. river development committee stated, after the conference. that arrangements for an application of rates upon base similar to those in effect on the Missis- sippi river where the rate is So per cent of the all rail rate, would be undertaken
 1t was stated that the facilities at Cor dova would be used until permanent terminals are provided the location of these to be determined after survey of Mai. John R. Fordyce.
 Major Fordyce, who is the government engineer in charge of terminals and ways or the Mississippi-W Warrior waterways, will arrive in Birmingham Wednesday to begin his survey. Director NJ. J. Sanders, who was prevented from coming to Bir- mingham yesterday by illness, wired Chairman Nesbitt that Major Fordyce would leave Washington last night. He is expected to arrive here either over the Southern railway at TAO or the Alabama Great Southern at 11;20 o'clock.
 He will make a survey for the purpose of locating the terminals at the river and also for the railway line connecting the river and Birmingham.
 Major Fordyce. under recent order of the administration, will have charge of all surveys and plans for terminals and ways not only in the Birmingham district, but at Mobile and all other points on the river.

Transportation facilities for. the War rior river service having been provided by the government the administration is now demanding that Birmingham take a hand in bringing about conditions under
 which these operations may be made more attractive and self-sustaining.
 The question of rates between the Bir-
 mingham district and Mobile and New
 Orleans is one that must be determined, and for the purpose of discussing these with the Birmingham Warrior river de- velopment committee Theodore Brent of
 New Orleans, traffic manager of the Mississippi Warrior waterways, came to
 Birmingham yesterday.
 There are other matters also that he
 wished to consult with the Birmingham people about. such terminals and fla cilities for handling freight between Bir-
 mingham and the river

development committee and several rep resentatives of the coal operators and merchants were present MT. Brent eX- plained the situation and urged prompt action towards securing through water and rail rates to Birmingham. stating that the success of the river service de- pended upon this.
 As a result of the meeting a commit tee representing the Warrior river devel- opment committee will go to Washington in few days to lay the matter of rates before Judge Chambers.
 We are anxious to establish through water and rail rates" said Mir Brent, 50 that shipments by way of the river may be transferred to the railroads at river points and by them brought into Birmjngham The Birmingham freigh. fra fife committee has advised us that it has no authority to fix these rates and came here to lay the matter before the Birmingham committee and shippers
