The reorganization of the Board of Public
Works, with Robert Proctor, past president of
the Central Labor Council, as superintendent of
buildings, so as to give fair representation to
all classes of citizens demonstrated the splendid
spirit of fairness that governs every official ac,
of your present mayor.
Fitness, ability and, above ALL loyalty to the
city's interests are demanded in all appoint
ments. Partisan politics plays no part in Mayor
Browns conception of city government.

everything, in fact, by which growth and pros
perity are measured, gained enormously.
Seattle's foreign and domestic commerce in
1923 reached the gigantic total of 6,393,529
tons, passing San Francisco; and Seattle is now
fourth largest shipping metropolis in the United
States.
Mayor Brown does not presume to take all
the credit for this wonderful achievement but
Mayor Brown has fulfilled his pledge to both
labor and business.
Every civic organization, every legitimate
business or manufacturing concern; welfare
organizations, American Legion, fraternal bod
les and citizens generally that have had occa-
sion during these two years to ask the support
of your chief executive in their various actvi-
ties will admit that Mayor Brown has given
more personal attention and greater co-opera-
ton than any other man who has been honored

most successful year since the war Everything
looks favorable for prosperity during 1924, and

f. Rex Smith, vice-Presdent, Chamber of
Commerce, and Chairman OF the Manufacturers

unqualified success for both exhibitors and the
public. About 100000 persons visited the exhibit
a large number coming from outside commune

and trading center of the Pacific Northwest
We expect TO repeat the exhibit again this year
on larger and more attractive scale than ever
before"
Seattle Clearing House figures show that the
cearings of this city in January, 1924. were
S175,73S,614 as compared with S153,236,609 for
the same month in 1928 and Sl20,296,550 in

Port Warden, Paul Edwards-"Seattle's for

What selfish interest, Mr.. Lundin, dictated
the selection of Sherman C.. Sawtelle organizer,
secretary and manager of Associated Indus
tries, for your chief adviser and campaign d.
rector?
Why did you cast this "firebrand' into the
present peaceful relations between employer
and employee? Do you want to destroy the
present harmony prevailing in Seattle's indus
tries?
In a personally signed advertisement, Mr..
Lundin, in The Seattle Star, you say: II have
no paid workers"
In sworn statement of Primary Election
expenses, filed with the city clerk last Friday,
you admit, Mr.. Lundin, that you paid Sawtelle
and three other workers the sum of S1,19585.
Which statement is true, Mr.. Lundin?

PREDICT CLIMB
 FOR BUSINESS

Everything points to a slow, but steady improvement in industry, says the National Industrial Conference board, New York. The latest survey of wages, hours and employment in 2,} leading manufacturing industries, shows definite upward tendency in the number employed and in the aver age of hours of work per wage earner.
 The rapid curtailment of industrial and business operations in the spring, together with the cautious hand-to- mouth buying for immediate needs through the summer has apparently de- creased inventories to that point where public needs for consumption are pro ducing better conditions.
 Employment from July to August stood at q per cent. of the number em- ployed in June. 1920, but. as the board points out. comparisons of present con ditions with those of the boom period are often misleading and the present conditions reflect a fair course of nor nal progress. Employment is at least ] per cent higher than it was in 1914.
 It is a remarkable fact that in spite of an industrial depression of some severity, with very few exceptions, wage rates have maintained the high levels which were reached in the boom periods of last year. Although the average wage earners dropped three cents in August over July, they still remain 127 per cent. over the level of July, 1924, and are not far from the level of q year ago.

STRETCH OF DRY

 TOCONTRACTORS
Southern Railway Frame Reaches Top
 Floor

The long dry spell has made possible construction records which will prob ably stand for long time in the Bir mingham district, H. A. Smallman, vice president of -Brice, said Sat urday.
 "From our own experience" Brice said, T know we have not lost an en' tire day on our recent jobs since we be- gan work, and I imagine other contract ing firms have found it the same"
 Brice is particularly pleased with his organizations work on the 10-story Southern railway building, the frame work of which has been erected since September r. The top floor was com pleted Friday and by Monday the com pany plans to finish the pent house on the roof which will be used for the me chanical contrivances connected with elevators of the building. Sidewalks of the structure have already been started with the plan to have the building as near inclosed as possible before incle- ment winter weather sets in.
 Anothr Smallman-Bric contract which is to be completed over the middle ot this week. There has also been con siderable progress on the Hotel Ked Mont and Birmingham Athletic clubl but because of the arrangement of these structures, programs have been at a slower pace by the company.
 Among other contracts recently awarded Smallman-Brice are the new Independent church building and the home of Allen H. Woodward on Alta mont road. Ground on both of these jobs was broken last week.

PLAN UNDER WAY E 0 R DIVISION
 OF SMITH PARK
Definite Program Not Yet Formed Asserts
 Col. Smith

Although the move until Saturday the placing of construction gangs at Smith park brings out the fact that the property is soon to be developed.
 Colonel Tom o. Smith, representa- tive of the Smith interests, which con- troIs the tract, stated Saturday that no definite plans have yet been worked out but he stated that some sort of q program is underway.
 The development of the park will mean the passing of the circus ground which has been a noted site on the an nual amusement calendar for 50 years. An amount of sentiment is also at tached to the tract by the old fair grounds which years ago drew some ot the swiftest runners ill the country to it's half-mile track.
 At one time the park was offered to the city through J. A. NanHoose, for mer mayor, as civic center The pro- posal was to locate the court house, city hall and other similar buildings on the grounds, but because of its distance from the business district this idea was discarded
 Smith park is bounded by Fourth and Eighth avenues on the north and south and by the A. B. and A. railroad "Y'' and the Birmingham Electric company car barns, east and west. It is cut by the Tidewater car line on Fifth ave- nue and the transportation facilities which this affords together with those of the railway give basis for the belief that the park will be developed into business property.

TRADING HEAVY
 HALEY ASSERTS
Mart Unprecedented Says Veteran Title
 Attorney

Judge J. l.. Haley. title lawyer here since 1887, declares the present real estate activity unprecedented in his experience. Only one period in history has approached the hectic trading of the last sixty days, he says.
 "Fiftcen years ago, when they paved Third avenue and opened up q thorough fare to EnSley," the attorney says. We had some trading which, although prob abtv not so extensive as the southside cxcitnent, was of considerable propOr- tiOnS.
 After this period there was a Hull in the market and selling has been only gradual up until the present time.'
 Judge Haley does not believe the market has risen too high except in d few isolated instances, and quotes values in other cities to back up this belief.
 "On a trip to Charleston, w. Va, last spring 1 found that property within q mile radius of the business district was three times above Birmingham fig ures Ever the downtown district showed figures comparable with or above those in Birmingham and Charleston is q city of only 10000 population Ee asserts.
 Few of the titles exchanged on Bir- minEham property are clouded, Judge Haley states. One of the outstanding developments of the market, he says. is the passing of pieces of property held by old Birmingham families for de- cades into new hands.

VISIT OF ENNIS
 WILL BE TREAT . FOR REALTORS
Starke Declares Trip Will Mean Much To
 City

The visit of H. R. Ennis, president of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, will be great treat to members of the Birmingham Real Es- tate board, Sam c. Starke, executive secretary, said Saturday. Mir. Ennis will arrive in Birmingham from New Orleans at 6:35 o'clock Wednesday morning and depart for Atlanta Wednes- day night.
 "Plans are being made by the en- tertainment committee of the board to receive this distinguished guest in a way that will reflect credit on the To- cal realtors and will enable President Ennis to carry away with him some conception of the wonderful develop ment and progressiveness of the city.
 President Ennis is prominent realtor of Kansas City, and since his inauguration at the midwinter meeting in Augusta last January, has travelled many thousands of miles in visiting various boards throughout the coun- try. In fact, it has now come to be the case that the president of the body, in order to do justice to the work, must largely give up his personal affairs during his term of office.
 'It is understood that President Ennis will bring a great message to the realtors of Birmingham which comes as a fitting climax to one of the most remarkable years that real estate men have ever experienced.
 President Ennis will be presented with an inventory of Birmingham's present situation that runs about as follows: Increased bank clearings, increased population, phenomenal con struction of business property, apart ment houses and homes, tremendous paving projects, high rate of employ ment, new courthouse and library to follow the recently completed audlto- rum, the improvement and enlargement of the Hillman hospital and the county schools, the further development of city schools, the proposed park development and the prospect of some relief from the distressing grade-crossings. All have been accompanied by one Of the most remarkable markets for the sale of real estate that has ever been Wit messed"
