LOCKE TAXES JITNEY
 ORDINANCE PETITION
 UNDER ADVISEMENT

After a hearing lasting all yester- day morning. Judge Hugh A. Locke of the chancery division of the cir cult court took under advisement the petition of J. J. Giglio filed last week asking that the city be restrained from putting into force the recent jitney ordinance.
 Giglio was represented by Harris Burns, and the city commission by Walter Brewer. assistant city attor- ney. In the hearing 1t was argued that the jitney ordinance violates the constitutional rights of the com- plainant and other jitney drivers as set forth in both the state and fed eral constitution.
 The provisions of the ordinance forbiddlng the jtneys to operate as taxicabs in spite of the fact that they pay both state and county license and the section forbidding drivers collecting fares in the downtown dis trict were especially attacked by tne council for the complainant.
 Judge Locke will probably render his decision later in the week.

LARGE VOLUME OF
 BUILDING IN SIGHT
Residences Lead Construc. ton, But Many Public Insti-
 tutionS Are Being Built

Consensus of opinion among the re- tail lumber dealers of the country is that there will be a large and in- creasing volume of building done during the remainder of the year, according to the American Lumber man.
 More hospitals. churches, school buildings and state and institutional structures of one kind and another have been begun in the past two months than in the preceding two years. while residence building con- tinues to lead.
 The Lumberman says: "The Amer ican Lumberman recently sent over 1000 letters to retail 1umbermen in all partss of the country, asking for information concerning the amount and kinds of building, outlook for fall trade, condition of stocks and other data influencing the present and prospective demand for lumber. Sew eral hundred replies have been re- ceived and carefully analysed. They furnish substantial assurance of a large and increasing volume of build ing during the remainder of the year.
 The bulk of the building thus far this year, broadly speaking, has con- sisted of, and is. in the cities and towns, very large proportion of residences. There also is quite a wave of building of garages, both public and private. A recent develop ment in the building situation is the large number of churches begun within the last 60 days. This is a class of construction that has been practically suspended for four years"

The directors took several forward steps. Among others 1t was de- cided that each director, commence ing at an early date. shall give a luncheon to 100 members of the chamber whom he will invite to that event. There being 17 directors, there will be 17 successive lunch cons which will probably be held on Monday when no other luncheon clubs have their weekly. dinners.
 This is tantamount to the estab- lishment of a weekly luncheon club by the chamber, which thus takes its place with other organizations in that form of intercommunication and good fellowship.
 It was also decided to give bar becue and picnic at no distant date to the entire membership of the chamber at place to be chosen. This is going to be gala occasion. and elaborate preparations will be made to have it of delightfully."- in- formal and entertaining nature.
 For the promotion of attendance at the regular meetings of the board of directors it was the sense of the body that hereafter they enforce the rule which provides that a director three times consecutively absent from the meetings thereby and auto matically tenders his resignation from that board and his successor shall be chosen.
