Beech. James B, Drake has been nominated and elected temporary chairman to serve until the election of permanent officers which, is to take place on the second Wednesday in Sep tember.
 Naturally this division will not have to assemble in regular meeting as ire quently as is desirable in some of the other divisions. The sales man. agers' division is to have one regular meeting a month and such called meet ings as time and circumstance may require.
 With the multiple listing group, the sales division, the sales managers division, and the property manage ment division already under way, it is now hoped that in the next month or so mortgage and finance division may be inaugUrated to complete the di- vision of the board into those work ing groups that will in large measure cover all the phases of a complete real estate business and offer each and every member of the Birmingham Real Estate board some group or groups in which he may take marked interest and thus not only benefit himself but con- tribute his part towards making the Birmingham Real Estate board q more efficient organization for the good of all it's members"

FIRE STATIONS
 BEING ERECTED M NEW STYLE

THE time when the building of
 fire station was a mere mat ter of hastily tossing some bricks and water together is thing of the past-at least in Birming- ham it is.
 Fire stations are now planned to blend inconspicuously into their sur roundings and the effect reached is an admirable one.
 One of the city's newest stations, the Graymont, on Eighth avenue at Sixth street, west, is of this type of architecture.
 Of stucco construction with a prettily tiled roof 1t appears no diff ferent from one of the modern bun galows in that section. It is said to be the most comedy fire station in the state.
 The Graymont station, formerly at First street, provides housing for 70 engines, accommodations for the crew, a sun parlor and kitchen cite.

Herman Rosenhian formerly con nected with the Kendrick- -Chambless agency, has accepted a position as man. ager of the business property depart ment for the J. L. Yancey Real Estate and Insurance company, it was an- nounced Saturday.
 Rosenhain's rise as an operator in the local market has been an interesting one. Coming here but a few months ago after an absence of eight years, he has figured in a number of huge deals. The total of these sales, which include close indentification in the half-million dollar trade for the Burnett building, one 0 fthe features of the year, run several hundred thousand dollars.
 Previous to his returned here Rosen- hain was active in the Detroit realty field and made name for hifmselw there as an authority on values. When in Birmingham 12 years ago he was employed by Loveman, Joseph and Loeb, whose golden rule" business principles served him in good stead in later experience, he declares.

HIGH PER CENT . OF HOMES FEEL
 MOVING SEASON
Furniture Dealers Report 13,446 Removals
 In Year

Figures on removals in Birmingham, made public by W. w. AndertOn, secre- tary of the Birmingham Furniture Deal CTS association Saturday, develop some surprising facts in the housing situa- tion.
 For the year ending July 31 there were 13, ,446s removals registered. This covers approximately D per cent of the available dwellings, passing the sum on accepted statistics that there are ac- commodations for 50,000 families here.
 The percentage scored is considered exceptionally high for n city of this size. It is accounted for, ton an ex- tent, ill that only a small portion of the population own their Yn homes, and because of the rapid growth and expansion in residential districts.
 Removals are most general in the fall, it is shown by the report, with October the Nheaviest month. In this period 2,050 removals are listed. A striking evenness in numbers is noted for the various seasons. Winter months averaged about 500; spring, 1,2O0 summer, 1000, and fall, 1,5O0.
 Records made by the months, extend ing back to August, 1923, follow: July, 1.039; June, 1,036; May, 1903; April, 1 ,3S6; March, 1,159; February, 1,049 January, 769; September, 793; Novem- Der, S19; October, 2,050; September,

AUTOMOBILE ROW. REFUSES FIFTH. AVENUE REMOVAL
Dealers Declare Lifting Of Tracks Comes
 a Too Late

The recently noticeable movement tC Rttrsct automobile Row" to Fifth ave nue $ fallen on sterile soil.
 While results may be forthcoming ir the future, dealers apparently do moi look with favor upon the plan at this time.
 Supporters of Fifth avenue declare 1t to be the logical location for auto mobile headquarters and subsidiary gas oIine alley shops, and the Terminal station thoroughfare, flanked by, the neat display windows, would be a great improvement allNof the way around.
 They state that the present haphaz- ard growth of the automobile section has been a handicap to advertising pur- poses.
 N. This opinion is admitted to a certain extent along the present Automobile Row"
 At one time just such an arrange ment was considered but the trolley tracks hindered any advancement along that line.
 Removal Of the tracks and the prom ise to boulevard the street is largely re- sponsible for the reopening of the agi- tation,
 Bar Raised Too Late
 But Automobile Row" asserts the bar has been raised too late. Several hundred thousands of dollars have been invested on Twenty-first street.. south, for branch offices and kindred business houses. Upresting of thsse houses, which it has required years to assemble, would be practically out of the question, 1t is said.
 There has also been an amount of improvement and expansion in the dis trict so that 1925 will find the section more firmly entrenched than ever be- fore.
 GAutomobile Rows" are the sequence of modern American business methods due to a certain dependency of one branch upon another and increased eff ciency from the alignment.
 Practically every city of size has its "row" In New York it is upper Broad way, and in Chicago. South Michigan.
 Birmingham's .row" first became pro nouneed with the Twenty-first street viaduct. Previously the locations were scattered, although fayoring Twentieth street.
 While there are some large and in- fluential companies located on other streets the present situation finds most of the grouping along Twenty-first street, south.

ENHANCING VALUES
 SEEN ALONG FIFTH
Trade Turned By Mccoy Shows
 Heavy Increase

A striking development of climbing values on Fifth avenue, north, is brought out in q deal turned by J. L. Mccoy of the McConnell-Wh White-Terry Real Estate and Insurance company during the past week.
 Through Mccoy, R. D. Ross bought, property at 2321 Fifth avenue from the Purchase Realty company at a figure near $26,000. This amount is nearly a 25 per cent rise over the appraised value of the piece last spring. It has a frontage of 30 feet on Fifth and depth of 140 feet.
 A second transaction was the ex- change of residential property at 2521 Fifteenth avenue, south, from Louis Jacobson to Dr. Conrad at $10,50O. Mic. Coy also negotiated this trada.

ONE EXCEPTION
 FOUND AMONG
 BIG BUILDINGS
Managers Look For Lit tie Change In Offices
 This Fall

With one exception there will be practically no increase in rents among the larger office buildings for fall.
 This exception is registered in one of the structures where there have been extensive improvements during the sum mer months.
 In other buildings there is some ''evening up' noticeable in cases of long term leases having expired but as n general thing figures remain where they were last year.
 Rents were raised around ten per cent in the fall of 1923.
 There will also be little, movement among the offices this year. In some instances where the company has built it's own headquarters, there will be removals recorded, but for the most part tenants apparently are well satis- fled.
 Inquiries Decrease
 A surprising fact of the situation, it is noted by building managers, is that the inquiries for space have slackened somewhat from last fall although there has been no structure of size built here.
 This condition is believed to have re- suited from the tight" situation of 12 months ago when many companies were forced to seek other cities for To- cations. There has also been some re- modelling and redecorating of smaller buildings, which has taken in some of the surplus.
 A question as to the effect Birming- hams new series of office buildings, four in number, will have on the mar ket, brings fgorth conflict in views
 One manager declares it is bound to create a distinct average for three years at least. Others express the opinion that normal expansion and at- traction of new firms to the district will fairly well take care of the new spaces.
 Should Have Surplus
 It is pointed out that for the best interest of a city there should exist q surplus of around 15 per cent,
 Such has been far from the per centage in Birmingham for at least five years, in fact occupancies are nearer the capacity" mark.
 Three of the larger office buildings report that they have had no vacant space for 15 years, while the records of other old structures run almost as good

be done in Alabama plants.
 This is a splendid example" said MT Williams, "of what can be done in the south in the way of converting raw materials into finished products instead of sending them away in the crude state to furnish the basis of profitable industry in other sections.
 "The concern which secured this con tract was a pioneer manufacturer of Corliss engines and other machinery in the south and it's products have gone into export trade as well as to many parts of the United States. It also has built marine engines, mine hoists, and sugar mill machinery, giving a va ried output for which there has always been enough demand to keep it's plant busy.
 "Only by such enterprise and self re- liance on the part of southern business men will the south be able, to take full advantage of it's wonderful natural resources. Likewise, the only sound basis for a permanent foreign trade through our southern ports is the de- velopment within the south of industries which will import foreign raw materials and combine them with native products in the manufacture of articles for which there is a demand in foreign countries, particularly Cuba and Otker West In- dian and South American markets, which lie at our door,

 FOR CIVIC lBODY
Chamber Of Commerce Offices
 Show Progress

Work on the new headquarters of ths Chamber of Commerce. at 2O15 Fifti avenue is being rushed by Mann Broth. CTS with the probability that the build. ing will be at least partially completed before the date set, October 1.
 Rafters for the first floor will be in place by Wednesday, it is said, with the plastering of walls to commence i'm. mediately thereafter. Partitioning of the offices on the ground floor and some of the interior work will be finished after the organization has moved in.
 The building, two stories high, will give the body one of the best suites of Chamber offices in the south. Central ly located, it's service to the general public is expected to be increased even more.
 Arrangements of the offices is made to increase the efficiency of the staff. On the main floor long, aisle flapked by the desks of the force leads to glass partitioned offices of o. L. Bum, secre- tary-manager, and 0. B. Jones, secre- tary of the Birmingham Traffic as- sociation.
 Stairway to the upper story is to be placed at the rear. This floor will con- tain seven rooms which will be utilized for meetings of directors and other civic bodies.

TARRANT CITY SCHOOL AGAIN
 IS OUTGROWN

An example of the rapid growth of Tarrant City is given in the expansion of the grade school building on East Lake boulevard.
 Twice additions have been made to the structure since it was erected three years ago, and yet it is even now de clard inadequate to meet the needs.
 The most recent addition of eight rooms has just been completed, while another project to increase the space by seven more rooms is being consid- cred. The school building, of stucco finish with slate roof, is the design of D. O.. Whilldin, architect, and despite the ad- ditions it still retains its symmetry and appearance of beauty. Approximate cost of the structure is set around S75. 900.
