Manor Park, acting through q COM
mittee, have appealed to Robert l..

against sewer conditions in their
section. These two complaints
were communicated to A. r. Harris,

The citizens complained that the
development Of their section is
being hindered by the lack Of i'm.

lack Of street sewerage, they de-
clare, but they have not even been
provided with adequate streets.

NO LONGER BOW TO CAST

Quietly and without violence, a social revolution has happened in England with the advent of the Labor party to the power of government. There is no outward sign of a new era in the his- tory of England beginning with the premiership of Ramsay Macdonald, writes Sir Phillip Gibbs in the Worlds Work. One sees no difference yet in the daily life of the masses. There has been no alteration in state cere- monial and the ritual of parliament. But every one is aware that the strong est barriers in the social structure of Great Britain have been smashed.
 Gone forever is the age-long allegi- ance to the caste system, dividing class from class by invisible but deep-dug trenches of sentiment and pretige. De parted are the privileges, so long and so jealously guarded, of a wealthy and leisured crowd who spoke with cer- tain accent learned at the public schools and universities, who dressed in a particular way, which was so much a matter of importance that a gentleman of the old school would have died rather than be seen in the wrong kind of tie, and who shared among themselves the high offices of state, whatever party was in power, by right of blood. rank, or possessions. Broken for all time in the belief of the upper class" as they called themselves, with a com placent self-conceit that the masses of manual labor would never rise to the possibility of leadership because of their social ignorance. their bad man. ners, their way of speech, and their general inferiority.

FLORENCE REALTOR
 TELLS ABOUT BOARD
Walter H. Glenn Was Twice \: Head Of Organization {
By WALTER H. GLENN

The Florence Real Estate board was organized about two years ago. It is the writer's pleasure to have served this organization as president for two consecutive terms, and at this time, it might be well to say that the inspira
 ton of the board was at the instance of the Birmingham Real Estate board, who came to Sheffield and Florence something over two and half years ago. As result, the Muscle Shoals Real Estate board was formed. the membership coming from the three cities, Florence, Sheffield aGnd iTus- cumbia. This organization was possi- bly the third ,real estate board formed in the state of Alabama. <
 This organization did great deal of constructive work in aiding and, ad- vising investors in the Muscle Shoals district in purchasing sound real es- tate, but due to the distanee between Sheffield and Florence. H was deemed advisable to facilitate the work of the organization on more definite pre- gram. %a. -
 It was agreed. to divide the boards, and after about six months, the mem bers of that board from Florence, or ganized among themselves, the Flor ence Real Estate board, having at their

 The five-story Associate building the adjoining Mongeau building and the Academy of Music, LOwelIs oldest theatre building, were completely de- stroyed.
 The fire started in the Portuguese club on the top floor of the Associated building. The rooms had been unoc- cupied for a considerable period but a dance had been held last evening on a lower floor.
 4 general alarm was sounded in Lowell almost immediately after the discovery of the fire and aid was sum- mOned from the neighboring city of Lawrence.
 Shortly after 8 O'clOck, a military call was sent out, summoning all local mi litia units to aid in fighting the flages.
 It was said that at least two fire men were killed in te collapse of the wall The men were on a ladder lean ing against the wall when it collapsed and they were seen to fall into the flames. 4rhz -

FUNDS APPROVED
 TO BUILD DAM l
Rivers And Harbors Bill
 Provides For Ala bama Projects

WASHINGTON, D.. o.. April 26.-- The rivers and harbors. bill reported te the House, favorabls, today, provides for a survey of the southern extremitiet of the Tennessee river at a cost oi S315,OO0 for survey looking to the widening and depth of Mobile bay; fOl the improving of Bayou la Batre, at 2 cost of $20,000, half to be borne by Bayou la Batre and the construction of Dam No. below Wilson dam, ir the Tennessee river, at . cost of $l, 6O9, 900. s-,4 <
 The latter item was incorporated or motion of Representative x, B. Al mon of Alabama, with the approval of General Beach, chief of government en' gineers. It was argued that if the construction of Dam No. 1 was delay ed until after the construction of Vii son Dam, the cost would be S2, ,240. DOC rather than $1 eos. 900: .'s.s.s4 2 /. s, |. Survey ProJccted \ .e. ~
 The bill contains provision also that the government shall ,expend that sum necessarily to ascertain the cost; Ot making a survey of all nayigabls streams for the ascertainment of their potential water power. The public utilities commission of Alabama urged that the congress provide for such q survey, and the legislature of Alabama formally enacted a petition to Congress that such q survey be made.
 ! The rivers and harbofs committee, il i ssaid, regarded the cost of such sur yey as inordinate and compromised by incorporating a provision that the exact cost be estimated.
 d,t Slew te Act
 ' 1t is learned, however, that the com mittee and the Congress is of the opinion that the government. should ac. quire scientific knowledge of it's natural assets in order that corporations with an eye to their own advantage rather than the advantage of the people might not acquire them.
 It is indicated that the government will be slow hereafter in suffering cor porations to acquire title to water. power sites. The situation in Ala bama, has impressed Congress, it is in dicated.

This alone created great deal of interest and closer cooperation among the mem hers of the board. Every member is thoroughly sold on this idea of sales.
