EARLY DEVELOPERS OF
FIFTH AVENUE WILL
SEE DREAMS REALIZED

Pioneers who several years ago
started the slow development of
Fifth avenue will soon see their
dreams of the street as one of the
leading thoroughfares of the city
realized, in the opinion OF Ed S.
Allen of the Motion Realty COM
pany. He believes the move north
ward, indicated by the purchase of
a corner of Twentieth street and
Fourth avenue will soon reach Fifth
avenue.
About 10 years ago, the Tutwiler
and the Motion hotels were built on
Fifth avenue. and 1t has been the
general opinion since that time that
that avenue would ultimately be one
of our main streets and thorough
fares" said Mr.. Allen.
"Slow development up to this time
has been due to the fact that mer-
chants and tenants In general were
hesitant in pioneering, but same
slow development means healthy
growth has taken place. Now, Fifth
avenue, from Nineteenth to Twenty
first streets, is practically fully de-
veloped. Recent sale of the north
east corner of Fourth avenue and
Twentieth street to Burger Dry
Goods company. who have announced
their intention of building there, in
dicates a movement in northerly
direction that bids fair soon to reach
Fifth avenue. Before long, the
dream of Fifth avenue as one of
our principal business thorough
fares will be a reality"

The officers are said to have
found five half pint and four pint
bottles of whiskey under. a wooden
walk and one quart and three pints
under some rubbish in corner of
the room. Tive other pint bottles
containing small amount of liquor
were seized as evidence.
Jim G.. Smith, assistant district
attorney, declared that Charles B.
Kennamer, his chief, would decide
upon action to be taken. His surmise
was that it would be similar to that
taken against the Southern club
Judge w. I. Grub issued an in

violating the prohibition amend
ment's provisions.
N. c. Stewart, federal prohibition
