THE BUILDING ACHIEVEMENT

Widespread attention and favorable comment has been created by the exten- sive building operations in Birmingham during the first ten months of 1924. The steady increase since the first of the year has been a source of inspiration to the business interests of this community. The record has been regarded as an in dex of community progress, because It represents permanent investment, strong faith in the city and district.
 For the ten months of 1924 the build ing achievement has been sixty-seven per cent. greater than that of the entire year of 1923, according to reliable figures, Representing an investment of more than twenty-four million dollars. At the pres ent rate this will possible be increased to thirty million dollars for the whole year. The operations do not include the industrial program. When that is con sidered the total will represent ah invest ment of about sixty million dollars for the year.
 It is interesting to note that, while the building activity of Alabama showed an increase over that of last year, Birming- hams building program represents an investment about half of that of the en- tire state. There is good reason to be- lieve that activity in building operations in this city and suburbs will continue at rate during 1925 equal to that in 1924. The city and suburbs are far behind in their building program. It will take sev- eral years to catch up with the inactivity

MOBILES PAST"

Dr. Edwin Craighead, editor of the Mo bile Register, announces his forthcoming book, Mobiles Past" This work has been long in preparation and contains material carefully selected covering in- teresting events and people in and around Mobile and intimately connected with that citys rich and romantic history Some of the chapters have been appear ing weekly in the Register under the heading: Dropped Stitches From Mo bile's Past. Naturally the book contains much that is not in any record; much that is within the personal experience of the author or of the lifelong residents of Mo- bile of this and former day. It IS en- tertainingly written in the style of man who knows how to write, whose writings are known throughout Alabama, and whose fidelity to facts is as strict as his style is genial. The book, the details of which are given elsewhere in today's Age Herald, will be another valuable contri- button to the history and lore of Alabama.

RIG BUuDING GROWTH.

Keeping pace with the industrial and H. nancial improvement that is so marked throughout the country, southern building activity during the month of October just past, made gains that show construction work has started upon new and greater era. Especially in Alabama is the building increase extraordinarily large Birmingham furnishes the sensation for the month with total of $2, ,4S7 ,594 in building permits as compared with a total of $1 ,544, ,183 in October of last year. Anniston's increase for the month, while far below Birmingham's total, is most encouraging one, putting this city second among Alabama cities in the amount of its building contracts Anniston's total for the month was $122, 800, as compared with $2S,- 78O in October, 1923.
 A feature of Birminghams big total was that nearly $7O0,OOO of the total is to go into educational buildings. the Phillips High school and the Woodlawn, High school. In Anniston there was no especially large permits the total being distributed over business, indus trial and residence construction, thus show ing a general trend upward with no one line predominating.- Star.

What is the cash value of an individual when legal age has been reached and a req sonable degree of education and training has been given for meeting the practical duties Of life? What percentage of the individuals are able to earn dividends on the investment? If the individual proves to be a failure, what amount of actual cash do the parents stand to lose?
 In estimating human worth such questions are not considered in most cases, but some philosophers and statisticians in England have developed that line of discussion. Sir William Joynson-Hicks made his investiga- tions and has fixed the investment of parents in each child, developed and cared for to the legal age, at about $2,500. Possibly if that figure is correct in England the same esti- mate might be approximately correct in this country.
 Not all individuals of legal age are prepared for the conquest of the world for their own profit and advantage. Most of them must undergo years of further training, familiarize themselves with the work they may choose, before they may hope to win success or even be listed among the fortunate ones able to command large salaries or win important

PERHAPS A SPECIAL SESSION

Governor Brandon has seen fit to couple with his suggestion of possi- ble special session contingency that throws upon the people a certain respon- sibility in connection herewith. Cover nor Brandon explicitly says that the submission to 8 special session of meas ures providing additional appropriations for highways and schools depends upon the discovery by highway and school leaders of sources of additional revenue for such purposes. It is valuable to the governor, no doubt, for him to receive recommendations and suggestions, but he alone is governor and he is the man who was elected on a platform of tax reduc- ton and more liberal provision for schools. To be sure, many thoughtful people did not believe in the possibility of decreasing taxes in the face of the growing responsibilities of state which already has about the lowest tax rate in the United States. But the people did confidently expect the governor to re- deem his pledges with respect to edu- cation.
 What the people would appreciate as much as anything else would be com plete report of the financial condition and the expenditures since the beginning of the Brandon administration. The peo- ple would like this report made on the regular revenues separately from the special road and port funds. Previous reports Jumping these special funds ln with the regular expenditures have been confusing as well as incomplete. The people would like an accounting which would analyze the increases in regular revenues and would give in detail the re- spects and directions in which the ex- penditures have increased. The revenues are very much greater now than In the preceding administrations Why, the peo- pie would like to know, is the apparent financial status so much worse? How could the preceding administration pay off so much old indebtedness and put us on cash basis, and still show working balance, when the present adminlstra- tion finds itself in difficulties as respects regular expenses?
 The people would like to know how much the state has lost, if anything, through the scrapping of the former tax machinery and the abolishment of the board of economy and control, in other words, the purchasing department? Such questions are not to be misunderstood as partaking of the nature of heckllng. On the contrary, they are things the people have a valid right to know. The gover- nor says that there is need of more money for certain important purposes. The people do not deny the importance of these purposes, nor that additional funds are needed. They do not deny, neither do they affirm, because they do not know. But they do know that they have right to ask and to receive full accounting of the stewardship to date, before there is action looking to the increase of state revenues. This accounting could easily be made without delay and would be a fine basis for the construction of public opinion in this important matter-the public business.

in this industry which marked the period during and for time after the war. Meant1-ae Birmingham has taken on heavy growth of population, conservs- lively estimated at from twelve to fifteen thousand people a year. Construction men know what that means in efforts to solve the housing problem.
 The big building program alone pro- vides many wage earners with steady em- ployment, and creates active markets for materials. thereby contributing generous ly to the community prosperity. It is one of the most heartening influences to busi- ness activity and that confidence in busl- ness conditions which stimulates progress all along the line.
