For the Good of
 the Community

TURNING for the moment from the car shortage, the coal car priority order and the troubles of manufacturers of pro- ducts in getting in raw material and nov ing out the finished product.
 Are underlying conditions sound? Has the year 1920 been good one? Are Alabamians moving forward?
 Nothing like the concrete to show the general trend.
 Birmingham bank cearings for the first half of the year show $502, ,000,O00,, a 65 per cent increase. h
 Investment of capital in new and old concerns in the first half of the year amounted to 11,156O00, an increase of 217 per cent.
 Reported coal production for the first half of the year was nearly 8,000000 tons, an increase over 1919 of 750,000 tons
 Less coal produced last year and less needed; more produced this year and much more needed. " This time last year the iron and steel market barely showing it's head from un- der five months period of stagnation; this time this year it's only complaint is lack of cars to move the enormous output of mills to the consumers.
 Is the rest of Alabama doing anything? In one issue of one daily newspaper these items of progress were reported:
 Alabama Power about to complete it's transmission line to Selma and furnish that city with water power current.
 Tuscaloosa has begun systematic re- pair of it's streets. Attention, City of Bir- mingham.)
 In the past few months twelve corner lots on Twenty fifth avenue in Tuscaloosa have changed hands for the purpose of building wholesale houses along the belt line.
 Mobile sets aside large sum derived from the increase in tax values for sur- facing its roads.
 Tuscaloosa county has paid into the state treasury this year $118,000 com pared with 42,000 in 1904.
 City of Florence is looking into the feasibility of harnessing the water power of Cypress Creek
 Anniston is going ahead with a broad street paving schedule, the contractors having agreed to take the bonds. Official reports show that Dale county marketed IT ,O78 hogs in the period from September 1, 1919 to June l, 1920. Their value was $5O0,O00. This record is due to Dale's progressive cooperative mar keting system. - a
