Improvement i'm
Realty Conditions
Is Countrywide
M. Morgenthau, Jr., Says
Market Is Picking Up
Everywhere House Short
age Not Confined TO N. Y.

Improvement in realty conditions and
the shortage of residential and busi-
ness space is not peculiar to this city,
but is general, according to Nj. Morgen-
thau, il, who .rned recently from
trip through South and Middle
West, lasting several months. Living
facilities arc scarce in every section,
and Mr.. Morgenthau found that the
same problems which confront this city
are before the authorities and citizens
OF most OF the other large cities of the
country. One is looking to the other for
suggestions that will bring relief
Market conditions he found very
gratifying, indicating that the popu-
larity OF real estate is general. Real
estate has forced its worth on the coun-
try and folk are beginning to see it.
Mr.. Morgenthau spent some time in
Jacksonville, Asheville, Washington,
Chicago and Detroit, and says that
"never in the history of real estate in
this country has there been such won
derful opportunity for profitable in
vcstment as exists to-day Real estate
IS the one commodity which has not
been advanced as yet, and this in spite
OF the fact that it is one of the three
essentials of life, the other two being
food and clothing. The conditions
which have been so dramatically
brought home to our people here
in New York as to the shortage
in housing are not at all con-
fined to this section, but, on the
contrary, are universal throughout the
country. Mr.. Shannon, late manager of
the United States Housing Corpora
tion. whose company has built hun
dreds of houses in Washington, in
formed ne that they had just pur-
chased a new tract of forty-six acres
and intended to improve it Immediately
with moderate priced homes.
This brings me to another point,
which it is we'll to emphasize Build
ers throughout the country outside of
New York City have come to the con-
clusion that it is better to build now
than to wait. They are satisfied that
prices for labor are not going to be
any lower, and under these circum-
stances they figure that building ma
terials cannot come down very much,
and will very likely go up as soon as
the demand for them increases. More
over, they figure that the builders who
get in first will build cheaper because
there is less competition for both ma
terialS and labor and more competition
for work among the sub-contractors.
Il was very much surprised to note
the extent of building operations al
ready under way, especially in Detroit
and Chicago. In Chicago the activity
seems to be almost entirely confined
to the erection of apartment houses
and apartment hotels. In Detroit fac
tories and business buildings are also
being erected to a very considerable
extent
"One of the factors. which in my
opinion has hastened the resumption
Of building in both Detroit and Chi
cago has been the ready market for
real estate mortgages.
Let US solve the mortgage money
situation and we will see the biggest
boom in the history of real estate
