1t has been suggested that Congress
can remedy this condition at once by
passing a law which will allow the
supervising architect to call upon pri-
vate architects for Help in making
plans, such architects to be selected by
competition and under such method of
procedure as will enlist the services of
the best talent in the country. All Of
these public buildings could then be
begun within reasonable time, there
by giving employment to thousands Of
men directly, while also confering a di-
rect benefit upon our industries
throughout the land, scarcely one of
which does not furnish some product
that goes into a building.
1t would also have the effect Of
actually providing the respective COM
munities with the public buildings
which they not only require. but badly
need, in many cases. 1t seems great
pity that lack Of facilities in one small
department of our government should
deprive the whole country of the bene-
fit to be derived from this large
volume of buildings. at a moment

pllshins the most possible good

ENTITLED TO Low RATES
Controller Rules Regarding Federal
Bank Board Telegrams.

In the first decision of the controller
or the Treasury to follow the Attor-
ney Generals construction of the
status of the federal reserve board AS
an Independent government body Con-
troller George T.. Downey decides that
telegrams pertaining to the official
business of the board and properly
chargeable against its expense fund
raised by assessment of member banks
come within the provision of the stat
utes that entitle them to governmental
telegraph rates. This applies, OF
course. to kilograms signed by federal
reserve agents as official representa-
tiveS of the board.
Controller Downey refrains, as a
question not raised in the reference,
to rule as to the rates that may be
charged on kilograms signed by Off
GERS of federal reserve banks, when
they do not pertain to business of the
board, and are not payable from public
funds.

DEFINES REALTY axiom"
'Self-Evident Truth That Is True at
Least Fifty-0ne Times Out of
One Hundred

Near Axioms'' In real estate, pub
lished by New York firm, have at
tracted attention of realty men. as in
valuable information for property
owners as well as brokers. A near
axiom is defined as follows: "A self
evident truth that Is true at least 81
times out of 1O0." The near" axioms
read:
No. Monopoly in real estate is Of
first importance as a profit producer,
as is monopoly in any commodity.
No. Vacant land in large bulk does
not usually over a long period Of
years increase in value as rapidly as
ments.
No. 3-Any type Of property that can
be duplicated without limit thereby
loses it's most essential increment ele-
ment
No. 4-when a building begins as
monument, II usually ends right there
IS an investment.
No. 5-To get the approximate value
Of plot of ground in a retail district,
multiply the annual rental value by
25. and subtract therefrom the sum Of
taxes multiplied by 20, and the cost of
a two-story building suitable to the
location.
No. 6-Financial locations rarely. IL
ever. change. Retail shopping districts
continually move in the direction of
the fashionable residential sections.
Trade seeks fashion, rather than fash
ion seeks trade.
No. 17-Building above the second
story rarely pay more than interest on
the cost of construction. and do not
share any of the burden of the land
investment
No. S-No building should be con-
strutced for a tenant without ample
security for rental that will pay 5
per cent the value of the land and
y per cent On the cost of the building.
No. 9--Land increases more rapidly
in value at the center and about the
periphery of cities and is stagnant or
declining in value in the intermediate
sections.
No 10-The factors that have the
greatest operating power in changing
real estate values are fashion and
transportation.
No IA lot of land within the five
cent fare zone is intrinsically worth,
on a ten-cent fare.
No. IA buyer can afford to pay
nearly 20 per cent more for a corner
lot than for one in the interior of a
block in retail district, owing not
only to higher rentals, but to stability
of occupancy.

FURNISHED APARTMENT
PROFITABLE INVESTMENT

From Building Management.
While only few years ago it was
not possible to rent furnished suite
of rooms except at family hotel, to-
day in the larger cities the furnished
apartment occupies prominent place
in the fiat-renting field
In such an apartment we find for
three small rooms a rental of $40 is
received. whereas this same apartment
vacant would not bring over $50 at the
outside. A valuation of the furniture,
linen and other household effects would
be about 800 to S125.
1t would seem from this that at least
in one year the profits on renting a fiat
furnished would Offset the furniture
expense, and we are told that these
furnished flats are easily rented. which
was directly contrary when vacant.
Under these circumstances the renting
manager finds the furnished apartment
a profitable proposition.

ARCHITECTS MIGHT AID
NGOVERNMENT WORK
Plan Suggested to Lessen Delay in
Public Building Con-
struction.

The suggestion has been made and
1t seems a most fortunate one, that the
federal government should hasten for
ward the construction of many public
buildings throughout the United States
for which appropriations .have been
made, says Construction News.
The last Congress passed bills which
called for some 900 new public build
ings. None of these have been built,
nor have the plans even been made.
There are similar building provisions
contained in preceding bills. so that 1t
is safe to say that public buildings to
the value of at least s50,000,000 are
today held up. Some of the structures
are historical because of the fact that
the appropriations We're made years
ago, and there has been very little at
tempt made to carry out the wishes
of the people in the community in
which the buildings are located.
Cause of the Delay.
The consent of Congress was OBJ
tanned, the money appropriated and
in some instances the land purchased,
the money is now idle in the Treasury,
and vet construction does not proceed.
The difficulty seems to be due to the
consested condition Of the office of the
suneryising architect of the Treasury
Denartment, who is in no sense to blame
because these are matters that cannot
he hastened; the work must be proper
liy designed and executed, but most i'm

The expenditure of $4,000. 900 for

a bill introduced in the House by Rep
