WALTER &. PIPER,
President.

Real estate men from all sections of
the United States are in Washington
today TO attend the midwinter meeting
of the executive committee of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate Ex
changes Sessions started at the New
Willard Hotel this morning and are to
continue through tomorrow.
The most important matter consid
cred by the committee today was the
plan to utilize the services of the APP
praisal committees of the real estate
organizations in the various cities of the
country in the valuation of real es
tate belonging to the railroads to be
undertaken by the interstate commerce
COMM ssion. The committee decided to
make every possible effort to endeavor
to bring about action on the part of
the interstate commerce commission
which would result in the utilization
of the services of these appraisal
boards in the nationwide task to be
undertaken. The members of the COM
mittee pointed out that a board of Sc
lected real estate men is better pre-
pared to appraise property in it's city
than so-called real estate experts who
claim they are qualified to appraise
properties in any city.
