LOOKING FORWARD

The Birmingham Realty company, un- der the able management of I. C. Beatty, is preparing for the most active year in it's history. This concern, that has long
 since established 8 reputation for devel- oping high-class residential sections in a thorough manner, plans 10 orrer rorest Park to the public sometime in thTspring, aT as soon as all modern improvements are installed.
 MT. Beatty, H. K. Milner, Robert Jem1- son, Jr., Alex Montgomery and other au- thorities in residence property develop
 ment, are all agreed that next year promises to bring unprecedented activity in home building. Their predictions are based on the steady increase in con- struction being hcted over the country at present.
 BUILDING REVIEW IH reviewing the building situation. s. w. Straus of s. W. Straus and Co.,, says: New construction work throughout the United States during the first fort night of the present month has been going forward at the rate of approxi-
 mately s60,000QO0 week, as against $5o,- 0O0, 900 a week during November, an in crease of 20 per cent. The volume of contemplated building operations for the early part of December is approximately S90 O00, GOO week, according to the best reports obtainable.
 Tt is interesting to note that during the past two weeks more contracts have been let for residential buildings than for any other class of structures, with business buildings coming second Labor conditions are more generally stabilized than tEey have been for severl months, but there is stiil great ss"s~- age of materials and this is retardhg building operations. Manufacturers or materials that enter into building con- struction are unanimous in sating thai the present shortage will not be overcome for an indefinite period. While present prices of materials have been responsible in some measure for the restriction oA
 building operations, it Is the consensus O. opinion among the manufacturers of these materials that as soon as general labor conditions become stabilized build ing operations will go forward at greater rate than they have during the past four years.
 "There is still a marked shortage of both homes and commercial buildings and this condition is not beoing relieved de- spite the strong pressure for more struc- tul es."

Jennison's New Year Greeting

We announce the closing of the most successful year in the history of our business.
 Our real estate sales totaled over
 two million dollars.
 Our rental collections amounted
 to about $750,000, representing the interest on approximately | SIP, 100000 of property entrusted to our care.
 Our real estate loans aggregated about three-quarters of million dollars.
 Such a showing inspires us to give vtill better service in 1920. In our opinion 1920 will be the most active year in real estate which this city of large transac- tions has ever known. The year just ended emphasized
 our industrial strength and labor stability. These, with our natural resources, make us invincible. The present year was marked by
 an unprecedented activity in resi- dential property. We believe the
 coming year will show equally as great activity in business and semi business property. This, in our opinion, will be the feature of the realty market. Our prosperity will be measured by the expansion of the business district. Vacant property within reason able distance of the retail trade district should be built upon. Buildings on close-in property should be remodeled to meet the demand.
 We will be pleased to cooperate with property owners along these lines.
 Happy New Year to all!  JEMISON

correct course TO follow In making
his defence Piaz was indicted sew
eral days ago for night time burglary.
The defendant later intimated 10 the
district attorney that II the indict-
ment was changed from night time
burglary TO straight burglary that he
would enter a plea of guilty.
The district attorney Immediately
recommended thar Piaz's Indictment
be changed and the grand jury re-
turned a correction amendment Of
straight burglary. The statute places
the penalty for night time burglary
At not less than five years in the

No sooner had he grand jury re-
turned the correction Indictment than
