months or tn1S year, dcCOrulnB lO eS- timate made public Saturday by of ficials of the Birmingham Water Works company, based on the increase in the number of houses served over the number for 1923.
 Construction in Ensley during 1923 totaled approximately $6,00O,O0O, and it is predicted that this figure will be eclipsed in 1924 and, in fact, that all former records will be broken. Es- inmates for this year do not include considerable construction being done by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company.
 Another indication of an inflated building period is the improving of eight lots that have changed hands during the past three months, involving ap- proximately $1,000,000. These improve ments do not include the building of residences, which will follow as soon as sales are made,. according to an nouncement.
