Charles J. Donald Starts
 Work OnNeW Addition
New $15O,OO0 Suburban Development Is Sit uated on hill overlooking Ensley-F airfield District

Improvements costing S150.000 were started Friday on the development of Fairfield First addition, recently ac- quired by Charles J. Donald and asso- ciates. The improvements will include every modern necessity. The properties adjoin the Tennessee company hospital reservation on the Possum valley pike between Oakland cemetery and Fair field. The land was purchased by Mir. Donald and associates from John w. Mcqueen, president of the Sloss-Shef- field Steel and Iron company r. J. Walker of Ensley and associates. The price is said to have been about $S1 ,OOO.
 To Secure Lots
 The new company plans to secure POO lots, which will be retained for residents inclined to build high-class homes. The owners have an ambition to make the addition the most attractive section of Fairfield, and from all indications that task will be easily accomplished. The development is situated on a spur hill of Flint ridge overlooking the indus. trial plants of the Ensley Fairfield dis trict.
 At the foot of the ridge the paved road is located and then comes the Tidewater t.fr line. Just beyond the car line will be located the $15O,0OO school of the city of Fairfield, which will be situated in a reservation of

several acres of park. The entire park area will be looped by boulevard, all tending to render the situation one of rare interest and attraction.
 Projects Under Way
 It was stated Saturday by Charles J. Donald of Fairfield that the con- pany. while not ready, had been forced to sell some of it's friends lots and that projects for the construction of 15 homes between now and Jan. 1 had al ready been launched. He added that contracts for water lines, gas and cleo tric service had already been arranged. The company will pave all streets in the new addition and will see that service lines are laid before any paving is placed thus avoiding the cutting of permanent paving when the contractors finish.

 The new owners include J. w.. Brooks of the Tennessee Land com pany; A. Clinton Decker, former mayor; w. II. Oldham, general super intendent of the Fairfield works; Isaac Morris of the American Steel and Wire company and Mir. Donald.

PAST MONTH IN LINE WITH
 RECORD SWING November Figures Bring 11-MOnth Total To
 $84,772,500 IMMENSE GAIN IN REALTY TRADING Great Increase Began During Early Months
 Of The Year

This years real estate market, be- lieved the most active for any city In Birmingham class, will probably total above $9O,000,000.
 Aggregate trading for November brings the figure for the first eleven months to approximately SS4,772,5OO and although December may experience some seasonal slump the sum will undoubtedly run beyond $6,000,000.
 The phenomenal activity of local property is now a year old. Previous to December 1, 1923, bnusiness had been showing gradual rise over past months but the real swing of trading did not get underway until shortly before the first of the year.
 The trend of the volume of sales rose by leaps between December and May Of 1924. February, despite the fact that it was a short month, showed a gain of almost S2,O0OOO0 over January, and April a like amount over March. May was the peak month of the year as over $10,O0O,O00 in property changed hands.
 Gain Over 1923 N
 Figures at the county probate court for November indicate that the trading was near $S,5S3,000 a gain of S5,202,- GOO over the same month in 1923, and of $2SS,000 above October. The period reflected some of the recent trading on the southside and the section to the northeast of the business district although it is doubtful whether the real weight of this latter movement is incorporate in the record.
 Tabulation of the dead taxes col lccted by the county which represent an assessment of S1 on every $1,000 in equity alone develops an authentic re- cord of the realty trading here. QSince the system was enacted September 30, 1923, the amounts follow:

LONG DISTANCE
 PHONE SERVICE
 IS IMPROVED
1,O47 Miles Of Circuit Are Constructed By
 Company

More than 1,047 miles of new physical and phantom circuit have been added to the long distance telephone system in Alabama this year as the result of the extensive construction program the Southern Bell Telephone company is completing. The system has been en- larged and expanded to care for the growth of the toll business and circuit layouts have been changed with a view to increasing facilities and improving the service.
 A big development has been the in stallation of new and additional direct circuits between points where the long distance circuits were added.
 There are now 15,040 miles of long distance circuit and 3,354 miles of toll pole line covering Alabama and reach ing to all parts of the country.
 Facilities Enlarged
 It was stated by T. Barton Baird, dis trict manager, that Birmingham's long distance facilities have been greatly en- larged by the addition of eight new direct circuits. The toll traffic has in- creased to the extent that there are now Ill circuits terminating in the Bir- mingham office, and the new circuits were added to care for the growing vol ume of calls.
 The new circuits extend to Sylacauga, Ala, Memphis and Nashville, Tenn, New Orleans, La, Columbus, Ga., Meridian, Tupelo and Columbus, Miss. There are now four direct circuits to Nashville, three to Memphis, three to Meridian and two to New Orleans.
 Quicker Service
 The direct Birmingham-C Columbus, Miss, circuit will give quicker and more flexible service from Birmingham, An niston, Gadsden, Atlanta, Jasper and other points south and east of Columbus. West Point, Greenwood and other Mis- sissippi points.
 The Birmingham-Tupelo direct circuit should improve the service to Tupelo, Holly Springs, New Albany and Oko- Iona, Miss. The direct Birmingham Columbus, Ga., circuit will eliminate the switch which was necessary at Ope- lika and expedite service from Birming- ham and other points which reach Co., lumbus through this office.
 In addition to these new circuits the telephone company has reconstructed great many miles of toll line through out the state and rearranged circuits to care for the increased business as well as to improve the service to nearby and distant points,
