BUNGALOWS, MEDIUM PRICED, ARE DESIRED
Many Inquiries For Bungalows Re-
 ceiyed By MesSer-. Johnson

New bungalows ranging in price from $9,50O to $500 seem to be more in demand than any other kind of residential property at the present time, according to w. F. Johnson, vice president of the Messer-Johnson Realty company.
 During the past few weeks wS have had a number of inquiries fog bungalows of this price and type, bue have been unable to meet the de- mand," said MT. Johnson. "To meet this We have recently closed dealS for a number of such homes in North Highlands. South Highlands, Norwoo& and Woodlawn."
 One of the reasons for the preseno scarcity of homes in general, Mes Johnson pointed out, is due to th0l fact that most builders rushed coma struction on homes for October l pos<l session and have not had time tSi complete any large numbers sincSs that time. :;
 "A large percentage of the buyingti public appreciate the values in olde1l homes and some activity has beeuj noted in the sale of these homes. W9i have also had much interest mani4j fested in outlying acreage, for suburSl ban truck and poultry farms" H

BUSINESS REAL LTYL|ST|NG SYSTEM |S' GOOD INVESTMENT BR|NC|NC RESULTS.
In Five Months Of Operation $447,125 Worth Of Prop
 ~ ty Has Been Sold

"The multiple listing system, in- augurated by the Birmingham Real Estate Board during June, 1923, has shown such remarkable results in it's brief history" said Sam c. Starke, executive secretary, that Is is fitting that all realtors, property owners and prospective property owners should fully understand the service of the system.
 '"Since about June 10, there has been sold through the multiple list ing system approximately S447,125 of property" said MT. Starke. If the utility and practical service of the system needs further proof to satisfy the general public, it may be added that the plan has been adopted in about 150 cities of the country.
 The plan Is quite simple. A prop erty owner gives an exclusive sell ing privilege of his property to a member of the system. This listing IS sent to the central office of the sys- tenn, located at 116h Twenty-first street, north, where cards are sent to 38 realtors who are members of the system, each card carrying a descrip- tion of the property. the location, the price and the terms. This means in effect that the property Is at once automatically listed in 38 offices in- stead of just one.
 ''The members of the system are warned against accepting for null 'tiple listing of properties that are uni reasonably priced and they are for bidden to send into the general off, flee any properties on which they have obtained an exclusive listing. The members are advised to have their owners sign an exclusive con- tract for at least 90 days, and a num- Der of the listings are made for six months.
 ITO the reaItor the multiple listing system is in effect cooperation and ethics in actual practice, 70 the pub lie 1t means better chance to sell and more efficient service evidenced by the remarkable results of the first few months of it's application in Bir- mingham."

NORWOOD BOULEVARD RAPIDLY DEVELOPING
Cheeseman Company To Build Six
 New Modern Homes

Monday morning will mark the opening of construction of six new homes on Norwood boulevard, accord ing to Ben Cheeseman of the Ben Cheeseman Real Estate company. This company has done much in de- veloping the Norwood boulevard sec ton, which is geographically one of the prettiest in Birmingham.
 During the past year wonderful de- velopment along this parkway has been made. Instead of barren lots. this property is now dotted with at tractive homes,l that are credit to the locality. One of the features in connection with this section is that every home fronts the park, which is of much consideration to those living on crowded streets.
 "The restrictions on this section v stated Mir. Cheeseman, have much to do with the class of people who have selected Norwood boulevard for their homes. The deed states that only one home can be built on each lot, which shuts out apartment houses and stores, making it strictly a resi- dentiaI section"

BERLIN, Nov. 3-CBy Associated Press.)-New York's appraisal of the mark on the basis of one and two third trillion to the dollar moved Chancellor Stresemann to convoke a midnight session of his trump cabi- net at which several emergency or dinances were proclaimed for the purpose of forestalling a similar col lapse of the mark in Berlin.
