BUSINESS LOCATION
DEMANDS INCREASE
Baltimore Real Estate Men Report
Improvement in Leasing
Conditions.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, January 1.-THE
demand for locations in the down.
town retail shopping district is show
ing a big increase, according to real
tors specializing in this class Of realty
business.
Commenting on activity in business
property, Sidney D. Cohen, president
Of B. Howard Richards. Inc, said:
I'VE find a decided improvement in
the leasing conditions caused by the
increasing interest Of the large chain
store organizations in obtaining To-
cations for additional stores. Two or
three years ago, we were faced with
the problem of locating tenants for
available business properties. This
condition, however, has reversed itself,
and today we find it dificult to secure
desirable retail locations to satisfy the
demands of our clients.
"At no time since the close Of 1929
have the signs of business recovery
been more encouraging than at the
present moment. 1t is the consensus
of reliable business executives and
commentators that apparently we are
witnessing the initial upswing of q
lasting trend toward more satisfactory
business conditions.
Since the low levels Of 1888 there
has been a marked rise in the value of
desirable commercial property as well
as other commodities"

penditures of $1,000 or more, and
wherever they are made they are
financed as rule by the savings and

purchase decreased slightly in the No

the public, rather than the refinanc-

Repair and modernization loans ac-

 than Tn Years, He Finds

Seasonal activity is at it's peak in the Interior and several new min ing enterprises are under way, ac- eording to Ike P Taylor. Chief Engineer of the Alaska Road Com mission, who returned to Juneau on the Yukon. Not in all the years that he has been in Alaska has he seen more men in private employ ment than this season, MT. Taylor said. Scores of tractors and other equipment for mining are pouring into the Interior. he reported, and the river steamers are loaded down with machinery for the mines.
 Bulk of the road work in the In teior this season is maintenance, the engineer said Most of the actual construction work is on the An chorage- Palmer road which is ex- pected to be passable by about Aug ust 15. Some work is also being done in the Mt. Mckinley National Park and the surfacing is being done cn the Fairbanks-Livengood road.

RADIOPHONE STATION AT LTVENGOOD MAY BE
 DISCONTINUED JUNE 30

Livengood will probably have no radiophone station after June 30, according to information received by Sergeant William Glasgow, in charge of the Fairbanks station of the United States Signal Corps.
 William R. Edwards, radiophone operator at Livengood, has rendered his resignation which becomes eff fective the end of this month, and unless his place is taken by another operator the station will be discon- tinued. The Livengood radiophone station is owned by the community.
 Abandonment of the radiophone station will result in abolishment of the weather bureau service at that point, as it's operation would be useless with no means of send ing messages from Livengood to Fairbanks.

I stayed three feet from the desk with the door between me and the desk. He looked half crying, his eyes were read and looked terrible. I was frightened and he cried, Get out of my house! You've killed my poor old parents. It's wrong that I ever brought you into my life
 The Senator kept on in that vein whenever tears weren't falling from his eyes, his wife testified. T talked to him quietly she stat ed, and mentioned that he had just received a letter from his mother few days before. He con- tinued crying and said, I don't know why married you"
