"Merrie England' Is Hailing
 Prosperity m Spending Orgy
By ALBERT w. WILSON

LONDON, Nov. 14.-"Merrie Eng land has become a reality again and London is being hailed by trav- ellers as the gayest city in the world.
 Luxury spending has increased by leaps and bounds. Hotels and restaurants are crowded. Every one of 35 theatres in the West End is running shows and good plays can't find home.
 Twice as many movies are doing good business and film production has spurted with Hollywood celebri- ties Hooking here to get cut in the outlay.
 Autos in Record Number
 Sales of radio sets and automo- piles have increased There is the biggest registration of motor cars in England's history. People are travelling more, with railway re- ceipts showing nearly s25, 100000 in- crease for the first 38 weeks of 1894 over 1883.
 Neville Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Exchequer, in recent t speech pointed out that basic in dustries, railway receipts, retail trade and building contracts have made substantial increases. Ship building tonnage under construc- tion, he said, had doubled while retail trade increased five percent in August, over August, 1883.
 Restaurants are filled with peo- pie willing to pay more than $2 for lunch and more than $5 for sup per. Tables are at premium at the more expensive night resorts.
 First night tickets were sold out week ahead for all except a few less publicized shows opening this autumn. You can't get a table at a popular hotel on an opening night to buy just measly $1 sandwich unless you have made a reserva- ton.
 Movies Go High Hat
 Movie first nights are just as stagy as the theatre openings nearly everybody dresses Pre- cisely the fashion Hollywood was trying to put over before the crash.
 Herbert Smith, manager of Keith Prowse, an organization which has had a monopoly on good theatre tickets in London for many years, said: ''It has been two or three years since there has been so much business in London.w
 His organization. which has 40 offices in London, is making reser- vations into January for no less than eight shows in London Any one who decided late in October to see the four big musical shows: 'Streamline," Yes, Madam "Luc- ky Break" and Charlot's latest re- vue, "Hei, Diddle. Diddle,' had to reserve seats for January.
 Taxis Jam Piccadilly
 c. B. Cochran's "streamline" broke all money making records in Manchester.
 Police have given the right-of- way to taxicabs in the after-the- ater traffic jams in Piccadilly Cir GUS and Shaftesbury Avenue.
 Money is flowing in London and there are many Americans helping ip the movement.

Building Construction Is Increasing; Neat Phase of
 Economic Drive Is Seen

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-The lat est building statistics, showing a marked expansion in operations throughout the country, has at tracted the attention of Wall Street and belief is expressed in some quarters that construction holds the key to the next phase of economic recovery.

The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-11-14

Some Wall Street students see parallel with what happened in Great Britain during the past few years. Much of England's re- ,covery and progress is ascribed to a relatively high level of build ing activity there.
 Dun-Bradstreet, Inc, in a com- pilation for October, disclosed an increase of 40.9 per cent over Sep tember and APO percent over Oc- tober last year.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE HOPES TO
HAVE CONTINUED COOPER.
ALTON OF CITIZENS IN THIS
MATTER

In an interview with The Citi-
zen today Mayor VIM. II. Malone
made the statement that the
streets Of Key West were cleaner
today than they have been in
many months. and he expects the

He cited case of a woman
who was standing in one of the
stores on Duval street with a bag
Of Spanish lines in one hand and
using the other to convey the
fruit to her mouth and also re-
move the skins and seeds. These
she placed in the bag.
When she left the store in
stead of placing the bag in re-
ceptacle she deliberately threw the
bag away and the seeds and skins
were scattered over the payment.
The mayor says these practices
must stop and the streets kept
clean. Those who are caught
violating the laws relative TO obey
ing the sanitary ordinances will
be arrested, he said. and fined. To
this end he has published a notice
in this issue of The Citizen which
