REAL LTY MEN WANT
NATIONWIDE BODY
Plan Cooperative Association
to Embrace All Dealers
in North America.

Active steps are being taken by -ealty
brokers in all parts of the country to
put into execution a scheme pronounced
good at Pittsburgh month ago, which
contemplates the organization OF a CO.
operative association embracing real
estate dealers in all parts OF North
America.
The organization will be known as the
International Realty Associates and
will be made UP Of real estate brokers
and dealers who are members Of the
National Association of Real Estate
Exchanges. William II. Saunders. Of
this city, has already become member
and subscribed for stock. and it is be-
lieved that other WASHINGTON brokers
will follow as the plan gains headway:
The capital stock win be $5JO.0O0 and
the headquarters will probably be In
Chicago. The organization is inspired
by the success which has attended
other real estate investment companies.
such as the United States Realty Com
pany and the American Real Estate
Company. Of New York. These con-
Germs have served to popular1Ze real es-
tate ownership by affording funds for
Investments and by division OF profits
among small stockholders not fnan-
cialiy able to handle big deals on their
own account.
The stock held by real estate men in
many cities OF the country will make
sure, 1t Is predicted, of a wide field
from which to draw for investments,
the real estate men naturally being de-
sirous of obtaining for the corporation.
Investments in their home cities which
will prove profitable for the company
and attract attention to their city as a
desirable investment field.
An unusual feature of the organiza-
tion Is an agreement of the corpora
tion to divide the net profits after pay
ments of per cent cumulative divt-
dends with the National Association Of
Real Estate Exchanges, up to an amount
of $4,000 for the national association.
This contribution to the funds Of the
national association is made in recogni-
ton of the fact that IL is through men,
bership IN the association that friend
ships have been formed and a co-opera-
tive real estate investment Of the kind
made possible.

While the report is voluminous and
covers the activities of the company
for the past year and in some in

District Wants SO, 600 1t Claims
Is Due From Electric
Line for Repairs.

Giving as their reason that the Eas
Washing ton eHights Traction Company
Is already indebted to the District in
the sum OF $1,000 for oneashalf of the
cost of the repairs to the Pennsylvania
bridge crossing the Eastern branch, the
Commissioners sent to Congress today
an unfavorable report on the bill In
troduced by Senator smith OF Maryland
to amend the charter of the company 50
as to provide that hereafter 1t sahll pay
only for repairs to the floors between
the tracks and two feet on either side
thereof.
By act of Congress approved July 1,
lDO2. the East Washington Traction
Railroad Company was authorized to
extend its lines by single track across
the Pennsylvania avenue bridge, SO as
to conneS with the eastern terminus OF
the Capital Traction Company, and IL
was provided that the company should
bear one-haIf of the cost OF main
tenance and repair of the structure.
The right to cross this bridge was
sought by the company for a long time
before it was finally granted by Con-
gress, the attitude of the Commission
ers beingad verse TO tracks being laid
across the BRIDGE the board says In q
letter to Senator Gsliinger, chairman Of
the Senate District Committee.
Congress, however, granted the au-
thority and the Commissioners under
stand that the condition as to mainten-
ance and repair was willingly accepted
by the company at the time Of the
granting Of such authority. The East
Washington Heights Traction Company
Is now indebted to the District Of CO.
lumbia for one-haf the cost of repairs
to this bridge to the amount of about
$500"
The Commissioners suggest that II ia
vorable action is taken on the bill II
be upon condition that the company
shall pay the District all amounts now
due.
