ATLANTA NEEDS NEW PUMP

Atlanta Ga, May 22.-To meet a

created in the city government by the

will probably have to levy an emer-
gency tax, as they are authorized to
do by the city charter, and then their
hands will probably be tied by an in.

the present fiscal year there is avail

SHANNON EXPLAINS
SAVING OF MONEY

The ways and means by which ST.
5OO,OUO was saved for the United
States Government during the war
by the real estate men OF the country
were explained in detail at the real
| estate convention by William e. Shan
non, Of Washington.
Mr.. Shannon was manager of the
real estate and Communicating divis-
ion OF the United States Housing Cor
poration during the war, and had
charge of the lease and purchase of
practically every piece Of land bought
or leased by the Government.
His department provided homes for
war workers in overcrowded indus
trial centers as well as in Washing
ton. These homes were built with
remarkable speed and at a minimum
cost to the country. When completed
they were models of completeness and
utility.
Mr.. Shannon explained how similar
methods could and should be follow
ed in these days of reconstruction to
alleviate the pressing housing short
age of the country.
In the general discussion that fol-
lowed Mr.. Shannon's talk the whole
subject Of appraisement, buying and
conservation Of real estate, as fol-
lowed by the Government, was taken
up.
A handsome silver coffee service
was presented to Mr. Shannon by his
fellow realtors from Washington in
appreciation of his services to the
Government. The presentation speech
was made by John L. Weaver.

TO Help Home Shortage

Over 1000 realtors from all sections
Of the country attended the annual
convention Of the National Associa-

closes at Atlantic City this afternoon.
Washington's participation in the
convention was notable. Harry
Wardman, William H. Saunders, John
Weaver. and william E Shannon de-
livered important speeches, and were
in prominence in all the convention's
activities.
Harry Wardman led the program at
the Thursday afternoon session with
a discussion on the building and man
agement of homes and apartments
during the present high price level.
William H Saunders was Washing
tons representative in the contest for
the Chicago Trophy, silver cup pre-
sented to the real estate board Of that
city which furnishes a speaker who,
in a f1ve-minute talk, best extols the
benefits and beauties Of his home
city.
william E Shannon, who during
the war was manager Of the real es-
tate and Communicating division Of
the United States Housing Commits
sion, spoke Friday afternoon on the
problems Of housing in the United
States and abroad. and how these
problems were solved during the war.
Weaver Probable PreaIdent.
Through all the days Of the con-
vention, John L. Weaver, Of Weaver
Bros has been mentioned as the
probable next president Of the Ma
tional Association. His name is a
favorite before the nominating COM
rnittee, and Washington realtors are
confident Of his success in the ballot
ing this afternoon.

NEW LEASE AIMED
AT PROFITEERING

The Lotion H. Slawson Company. a
prominent real estate firm of New
York city, has taken steps to squelch
the rent prohteering in that city. The
method employed is the insertion of
a clause in the leases of the firm
which will penalizee tenants who at
tempt to profit through sub-renting.
The plan is being studied with in
terest by several Of the real estate
firms of Washington. The clause in
serted in the lease is:
CAS- a special consideration for the
making of this lease the tenant
agrees that If at any time during its
term the premises herein leased be
sublet or the lease be sold, and profit
whatsoever accruing directly or in
directly therefrom shall go. in its en-
tirety, to the landlord, and the tenant
by accepting this lease expressly re-
linquishes all rights to and claims for
any profits whatsoever"
The Washington times., 1919-06-28

days of the convention and a build
ing boom is confidently expected in
all sections of the country following
the Atlantic City meet.
Prices No Lower.
The keynote of every discussion was
that there is no hope for an Immediate
decline in the cost of labor or of
building materials. Authoritative evil
dence of the stability Of present prices
was presented by recognized national
and international authorities, and
even the most timorous Of the realtors
in attendance are now convinced that
it is useless to defer building projects
longer.
1t was pointed out that the United
States must furnish the bulk of the
materialsf needed to rebuild France
and Belgium, and also for the 5000, 900
homes that are to be constructed in
England. With this tremendous for
eign draft on our material markets
there can be no price reduction.
The consensus of opinion was that
it would be unsafe, even dangerous,
to attempt to reduce labor wages
now. The early construction OF many
homes was advanced as the only
means of solving the nations press
ing housing problem.
Adjournment Today.
The convention will adjourn this
afternoon. The final work on the
program includes the election OF Of
f1cers, the awarding Of the Chicago
trophy and a decision upon the con-
vention city for next year. In the
latter race Kansas City and Atlanta
are both making a strong bid for
honors. With the presidency almost
certain to 90 to the South, Kansas
City bids fair to capture the 1920
convention.

HIGH PRICES. STAY,
SAYS WARDMAN

Featuring the Thursday afternoon
session of the Atlantic City realtors
convention was the discussion led by
Harry Wardman, of Washington. on
building and Management of Apart
ments at High Level of War Prices"
In an extemporaneous talk before
the general discussion began, Mr..
Wardman announced it as his inten-
ton to keep on building as rapidly
as he could, despite the present high
price level He unQualifiedly assert
ed that there would DO no reduction
in material or labor costs.
Mr.. Wardman declared that Eng
land was building five million homes
and France almost as many, and that
the United States would be called
upon to provide the greater share of
materials for these foreign construc-
ton enterprises. This tremendous
demand on local markets, asserted
Wardman. will maintain prices at
their present level for some time to
come.
He also declared that labor would
not accept lower wages, and that in
the present period of the worlds I'M
rest, due to the recent worldwide
war, it was both unpracticable and
unwise to attempt to secure lower
labor costs.
Following his talk, Mr.. Wardman
answered numerous questions put to
him by realtors from all parts of the
country. He had a fund of authori-
tative information at his command,
and the impression he left with the
assemblage was that the present
price level is here to stay and that
the only relief from the nations
pressing housing shortage is to build,
and to build now.
Mr.. Wardman's talk attracted one
of the largest audiences that attend
ed any of thee conventions sessions.
His reputation as a Washington
builder preceded him to Atlantic City,
and his words were regarded as au-
thoritative by those who heard him.
