RALTORS' FINAL
 MEET OF YEAR
 HELD IMPORTANT
Starke Urges Attendance For Next Tuesdays
 Program

Secretary s. c. Starke, of the Real State board, made the following state ment Saturday: "The last meeting of the board for the year will be held at the Municipal market Tuesday, at o'clock. The regular weekly meeting has been moved up on account of the fact that next Thursday will be New Years and it was not deemed advisable to omit all meetings between December IS and the annual meeting and banquet which will occur at the Tutwller hoteI Thursday, January 8.
 "An unusually large attendance at next Tuesdays meeting is urged in or der that the average attendance for 1924 may be still further augmented: This average is already beyond that Of former years.
 "The meeting will have before it an important matter of civic interest for discussion in that it is proposed to take up the recent report of the city planning board on the location of the new public library and the development of a civic center at Wilson park. It should be held in mind that this city planning board was recently created by the city commission and the county board of revenue. Messrs. H. U. Simms and J. Frank Rushton were appointed by the city, and Jerome Tucker and J. A. Dupuy, of the Real Estate board, were appointed by the board of revenue. These four men were empowered to choose a fifth member. They chose George Gordon Crawford, thus rounding out an unusually strong and level- headed committee for the purpose in hand. Mir. Simms was chosen as chair man.
 Study Park "After a study of Wilson park and its environment was made, and after various meetings and conferences with the mark board, the library board, archi- tects of the park board and of the board of revenue, the final recommenda- tions of the city planning board, on matter of such great public interest and of such great importance to the Birmingham of the future, will be fur ther discussed at the meeting Of the Real Estate board next Tuesday.
 "Certain final annouhcements are to be made concerning the annual meet ing and banquet of the board. Macolm Jeter of the Nelson Real Estate and Investment company is chairman or tne committee appointed by the sales d. vision to devise Il program of fun to follow the annual reports and installa- tion of the newly elected officers for 1925. It is not to be expected that the details of the program will be given in advance, but it is sufficient to state that an entertainment will be furnished that will afford both surprise and in struction."
 Seek Record
 Starke expressed hope that the ban ouet of 1925 will be even more success full in point of attendance and en-

from the mass of reports. One was an office building at Avenue c and Twen- tieth street and a warehouse project hy the Frisco railroad. In many of the instances it was found by the buyers that these projects would not justify the prices they had paid, and reaction from the boom left many with aching Leads.
 Besides these three spirited trading districts there was also a great deal of property sold around the new court house site and along South Eighteenth street on the strength of viaduct at the crossing.
 None Outstanding.
 While there were number of sales of proportions during the year there were none of such size that it stood head and shoulders above other records. The Burnett building proved in demand and changed hands three times, in the last case being part of trade in which $500. 900 was involved. The corner of Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street brought stiff sum to the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church. The Florence ho- tel was another exceptionally large transaction. as was the Ledger build ing.
 The Jefferson County Building and Loan association structure was another to figure in the trading. It was sold four times. A corner at Avenue and Twentieth street set a mark early in the year which was not surpassed even during the rush upward of southside values Several lower Second avenue corners brought prices topping $100,O0O. Homes In Demand. The residential property market was comparatively as active as business real estate and was marked by the greatest number of new subdivisions ever placed on sale in a years time. In this re- spect the movement seemed to be more toward the south, but there was also considerable action around Fairfield, Ensley, the Norwood district, and West End.
 ] With the real estate year so active, | it would be logical to believe that numerous of the investors have been left holding the bag. Such has not been the case, however except in isolated in- stances. If signs mean anything and 1925 continues at the pace the present year has set those who paid surprising profits for property during 1924 will next year be tai ing profits just as sur prisingly large.

figure, while a survey by the F. W. CT. Either total sets new record increase from last year.
 Twenty-sixth street. Plans call for six stories in heighth and modern type of construction. It will be built by the Newton Investment company.
 While the previously mentioned nine new structures have occupied much of the building limelight downtown. there have also been others of some propor- tions. These include Herman Saks and Sons new store, Pizitz' addition. Tut wiler addition, and the new Federal Reserve bank building.
 Residential building has been as com paratively large as has the downtown program, although it has not been so highly advertised. All of the developing companies undertook extensive work which surpassed the records for past years and the demand absorbed practi- cally their entire program. There were also a score or more apartment build ings erected. The largest in this scope were the Altamont, Claridge Manor and Highland Plaza.
 Church Building.
 Churches and schools announced uuulcTOuS ucW oI CAAoA eSAhCheS during the year. Principal of these were the First Christian, Fifth Avenue Presbyterian and Independent Pfesbyte- rian, among the churches, and Wood- lawn and Phillips high school additions.
 Besides the heavy amount of new con struction, there was also a vast total in remodeling. Many of the downtown merchants felt the building movement. with the result of spending thousands of dollars in the decoration of the ex- teriors and interiors of their shops.
 That the construction era will extend into 1925 is believed true in the light of plans now held by builders. Of inter. est in this line will be the disposition of the old courthouse and the postoffice building. These sites, being an excep- tionally high value, may be expected to be involved in projects which will like ly be greater than any yet announced. Just how far the building programs have brought the city cannot be defi. nitely known until the latter part ot next year. Although numerous. some students declare that the city will see neither a large average in housing or in office space. It is well known that the demand in both fields far outweighs the present supply.
