REALTORS SHOWN NE VI CITY MARKET I
Members Of Birmingham Board Visit Plant With
 Commission Head

It was city market day with the realtors Thursday and only a short business discussion marked the luncheon in the Tutwiler hotel. Presl- dent D. F. McLendon Of the city commission was the guest of honor. but instead of a set speech, he es- new municipal market building at Third avenue and Twenty-third street and showed them through.
 The market, which was scheduled to be opened a week or so ago, has remained in the hands of workmen because of delay in shipping and installing the cooling system pipes from the refrigerating appartus in the basement to the show cases on the counters. It is not definitely known just how long it will take to complete this part of the plant. but that is about all that is delaying the opening now.
 MT. McLendon escorted the board members through the great quarter floor space, but the most modernly equipped and santitarily appointed market in the country.
 from the cold strogae rooms, cleo tric, refrigerating and ventlating plants in the basement, the visitors were taken through the building. where they inspected the Amodern counters. all equipped for refrigera- tion, and on to the second floor cold storage department and offices.
 Realtors who had not visited the building expressed themselves as surprised and delighted by it's sub stantial construction, fine ventila- tlon and light equipment and the thoroughly utilitarian stall equip ment.

CHILDREN TO R|DE QUEEN BESS' FREE
Automobile Club Needs $100 To Complete Fund For
 Picnic August 15
RESOURCES

Jones & Hernandez, concession aries at East Lake park, have joined Hugh Hill in placing the amusement apparatus they handle at the dis posal of the Birmingham Automobile club without cost August 15, when the club will be host to the under privileged children of Birmingham,
 Mir. Hill, who is in charge of the caterpillar, the flying ships and the ferris wheel, offered the use of these as he was notified of the proposed picnic.
 Jones & Hernandez followed suit with the little steamer Queen Bess, that plies the lake. one of the chief joys of the youngsters, and many of the grownups who visit the park.
 Money to finance the picnic has been slow in coming in. Not all of the attractions at the park will be free, it is said, and the Automobile club must raise the money to pay for the privilege of showing the or ents a good time.
 It is estimated that at least $500 will be needed to provide the lunch con, ice cream, soda water and pea nuts the children will consume. It is estimated that 500 youngsters will attend and many automobiles will ke needed to take them for the annual ride to the park. Charles G. Davis, p1 esident' of the club, stated Thurs day that 50 cars had been offered so far, but 100 more will be needed The club now has $40O of the neces- sary money and. is trying to raise the other $100.
 Thursday 75 gallons of ice cream were contracted for at $1.25 gallon. Last year the ice cream was sold to the club for S1 gallon. And last wear all the concessions at the park were free to the children all day.
