MARRY TO SELL SANDEFUR LANDS Acreage Being Developed As Residential Prop
 erty

The Sandefur 90-acre tract, to be de veloped into residential property, at an expenditure of $50,OOO, according to recent announcement, is being handled by the George o. Mabry agency. A sec ton of the property was thrown on the market Friday under a sales force headed by J. R. Pratt, formerly with Butler-Garrett, and from indication it will prove popular with prospective home builders.
 The property, eventually to be di- Hded into 40 lots, will be known as Mid Birmingham, because of it's loca- ton between Birmingham proper and the Ensley and Fairfield districts. It is touched by the Bessemer- Ensley car line and lies east of the fairgrounds, between Third avenue and West End Place.
 Under plans Tor improvement of the property asphalt pavements, sewer age system, curbS, gutters and side walks will be laid. The operators also propose to continue Fayette avenue, which will make possible an elimination of four-mile drive for workers living in West End to employment in the steel mills.
 The tract is declared by the agents to be particularly well situated for resi- dential development because of the sec tions surrounding the property and the elevation at which the land lies. Water, gas and electricity are to be arranged.

NEW BUILDINGS
 MOVE UPWARD Sixth Sky-Scraper To Be Under Construction
 October 1

Building programs for Birmingham s five new sky-scrapers are moving steadl- ly forward and during the next month all will be fully in evidence by their rise above the ground. Construction of the sixth, the Bankers Mortgage Bond building, is to begin October l, when work of tearing down the structure now occupying the site at Third ave nue and Twenty street will com mence in earnest.
 Of the new buildings the home of the Jefferson County Building and Loan association shows the most progress. The third floor was laid this week and work on the fOuTth of the ten storles is to begin immediately.
 The Redmount hotel has successfully passed the initial stages of construction and the first floor is to be started thi" week. The footings have all been set and pillars will be erected shortly.
 Excavations for the basement of the Third avenue building, the largest job of it's kind in the downtown district, is over 75 per cent completed. Two sides of the basement wall have been placed and with the other two in, the work is expected to move speedily for ward.
 Basement of the Martin office build ing, which will be under but a portion of the structure, has been finished and the footings are down for the remainder of the foundation work.
 First floor of the Southern railroad building at First avenue and Twenty second street has been completed and the second floor is to be started soon.

Birmingham Firms Form
 Combine To Better Trade Conditions

Outside of trade circles the Building Material Dealers Credit Bureau is lit tie known, but it occupies one of the most important inches in construction work. It serves as 'go-between' among various building material firms and contractors and builders. One of the last named on the blacklist of the association finds himself considerably up against it.
 The bureau was formed here two years ago with the purpose of improving the credit system and bringing about greater cooperation between the deal CTS. It was an original undertaking with the companies and it's worth is attested by the fact that it has been copied in New Orleans, Louisville and Cincinnati, while inquiries regarding it's function have been received from numerous other cities.
 In its files the bureau keeps card index on over 30,000 contractors. The data contained on these cards is very comprehensive and the information proves of exceptional service when one of them enters the market. A member of the bureau merely calls head quarters and the contractors past rec ord, his work and methods of conduct ing business are enfOlded.
 Property Tabulated
 The bureau also keeps tab on prop erty and it's owners. When d sale is recorded the name of the new owner, the consideration ill ,the deal, mortgages entering into the trade, name of the mortgages, amount and the length of time it runs are all jotted on the cards. This system, which covers about 40,- 900 names, is efficient when the owner contemplates construction on the site.

Birmingham for several years. This is argued in spite of the fact that the Birmingham Real Estate Board and the Chamber of Commerce long ago in- dorsed the idea of preserving the park as civic center. with our public buildings surrounding it, indeed after long discussion it was decided to locate the auditorium outside of the park and consistent with the general idea of a civic center.
 "Of course the purchase by the cOun- ty of the ground just east of the park for a court house was also in line with this idea. It is mot necessary to build library at this time large enough for the future Birmingham. Those in favor of not putting the library in Wilson park and thus interfering with the gen. eral idea of a civic center, may well argue that a lot located consistently with the idea of a civic center should be bought at this time and one unit of future harmoniously developed library building could be erected now Here are the two widely divergent views. It would certainly be a pity to make mistake, and therefore the situ- ation calls for the most serious con sideration. The new county court house and the prospect for a new city hall, the latter somewhat vague at this time, have their intimate bearing on the library decision yet to be made.
 Questions Similar
 "A serious consideration bears heavily alike on three of these projects, name ly: grade separation in the downtown district. the library site, and a new city hall, and that is the almost certain fact that the longer they are put off, the more expensive they will be.
 "Inasmuch as a site for the county court house has already been bought, this embarrassing feature in regard to the other three projects does not apply in the case of the county courthouse. It is perfectly patent in regard to the other three projects that purchasing public sites and the paying of damages to make public improvements will be more expensive in Birmingham the longer they are delayeds < Z
 ''The call is made upon the loyalty of our citizenship at this critical moment to weigh we'll each of these problems, and instead of regarding each separ- ately, to consider them as sort of composite plan, holding ever in view our responsibility to the next genera tion and the great Birmingham of the future. The newspapers and our civic organizations can do yeOman service at this time by considering all these pro jects together, instead of separately. and educating the people 10 want and de- mand that the right thing be done.'

TRADE SECTIONS
 AFFECTED LITTLE IN FALL SHIFTS
Housing Changes Gets Big Percentage Of
 Removals

From all signs Birmingham will ex- perience an unprecedented moving sea- son during the last week of Septem- Der. This will be reflected principally in the residential neighborhoods, but there will also be considerable shift ing downtown. None of the latter. however, is expected to appreciably alter the character of the various districts.
 In the retail district only two of the larger business houses will move. These are Bromberg's and Broyles with the Liggett Drug company to install one of the south's finest drug stores at the former location. Some ''edgins out is in evidence among the retailers which is expected to be more apparent as tine year progresses. ton will remain stable. Perhaps tue tion will remain stbale. Perhaps the most important of the developments in this line is the move of the chamber of commerce from the Lincoln Life building to a new home on Fifth ave nue. A number of other firms will also change their headquarters but, as whole, conditions are to remain un. changed Next year will witness the greatest movement in this field as four new office buildings are to be thrown upon the market.
 Produce Row Firm
 The campaign to take Produce Row" from Morris avenue because of it's congestion, has evidently fallen through, although a move by several firms is still held as tentative plan. Some changes are announced along this thoroughfare but none that can be expected to shift headquarters" of the commission market. The wholesale dis trict, located on First avenue, is prac-- tically undisturbed.
 Real estate offices will be effected more than any one line of business by the moving season, primarily because the brokers have favored the small curb offices, many of which are to be torn down for new buildings. It is estimated that nearly 25 per cent of the realtors will have new quarters by October 1.
 Last September and October over 5000 removals were recorded here, the largest portion of which were. by fam ilis. This figure seems large for a city the size of Birmingham, but rental agents declare it will top 1000 this fall.
 DuIIulng IS raster
 The reason for the movement is given in the immense amount of construction this summer. Three exceptionally large apartment buildings were completed together with numerous smaller similar projects and hundreds of homes. Many people will take advantage of these building programs to find new houses this fall.
 Despite the building activities agents do not look for any extreme figure in vacancies. They admit there will be number, but state that the condition to arise will not be unhealthy. Bir- mlngham has been "under-built" for several years, they assert
 An encouraging factor in the situa- tion to the renter is that prices seem 10 have eased off somewhat, although there are few instances reported of sharp depreciationS.
