PROPERTY INSURANCE
By RONALD S. O'NEILL.

The most effective movement that has ever been launched
to stabilize building in Washington and to make secure the
cy continued growth along lines of architectural beauty and
public utility is about to get under way
Tentative regulations adopted last week by the newly
created Zoning Commission mark the first step IN this great
civic venture The first regulations concern the height of
to follow will concern the location of certain kinds of build
ingS in certain territories. ....,.,."
The first regulations preclude the erection of structures OF
monSouS msighty size streets and in locations where
the erection of such buildings would materially decrease the
appearance of the neighborhood.
The ensuing regulations will classify certain areas of the
city residential manufacturing and business districts No
manufacturing plant will be permitted to be built in any other
than manufacturing district The location of business houses
in residential neighborhoods will be greatly restricted
It is evident that the zoning law, properly administered,
will INSURE the permanent value of property in every section
of Washington The who buys home buys secure in
the knowledge that will ever build manufacturing
open store next door. He buys knowing that his
neighborhood will always be residential neghborhood
The lack of zonng law has been sorely felt in Washing
ton many Business houses garages and light manu-
featuring plants have sprung up in the most exclusive resi-
dental sections, many instances acting as detriment to
surrounding property values This will all be done away with
the future. The law is mighty good civic insurance,
and Washington fortunate to embrace the idea that has met
with such success in many other American cities.
Of course the ultimate of the law of any law,
depends upon its administration. On this score Washington
can remain secure The has long been Commissioner
Kuzs dream He has sponsored from the beginning and he
will contribute his every energy toward its ultimate success

APARTMENTS YIELD TOO
Low RETURN MACOMBER
Housing Expert Says Investors Are
Receiving Only Per Cent
on Money.

Investors in apartment house prof.
ects are receiving an average return
on their money of only 3 per cent, in
stead of per cent to which they are
justified. according TO an announce
ment today of the United States Hous-
ing Corporation. through it's retiring
vice president. Irving Il. Macombcr.
Money invested in residence prop
critics is bringing in return Of but
per cent, it was declared. The de-
ductions were developed from data
returned by the constituent bodies of
the National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards in response to question
naires on real estate Investments.
The figures were for the construc-
ton year just passed.
According to the tabulation com
piled by Mr.. Macomber. the yearly to-
tai expense for upkeep of residence
properties represents 9.6 per cent OF
the investment. This with the inter-
est of per cent. would justify the
owner in charging a gross rental of
1856 per cent. However, the stats
tics show that an average gross rent
al of but 1873 per cent was obtained
during the period covered.
This would mean, it is pointed out,
that in renting a residence costing
the owner $4,000 a rental of $50 a
month would be necessary to net a
return of per cent. On this basis
the yearly upkeep, including main
tenance, 2.S per cent; service, l per
cent; insurance, . per cent: taxes and
assessments, IA per cent; vacancies
and bad accounts, per cent; depre-
citation and obsolescence, 3 per cent,
and administration, 8 per cent, would
amount to $500.
A gross rental of 20.2 per cent on
the investment is justified on apart
ments, the figures show, whereas the
actual rental obtained averaged liz
per cent. The total yearly expense
was 14.2 per cent and the deficit on
justified returns per cent.
Assuming that an apartment house
cost the owner 100000, he would be
justified, according to Mr.. Macon
bere's figuring, in charging a yearly
rental for the apartments aggregat-
ing $4,000, netting him return OF
$4,000. The tabulation reveals, how
aver. that the yearly return in such
instance actually was only $4,000.
In arriving at the total expense
per year of apartment houses the
same factors were taken into con-
sideration as with residence proper
ties. Depreciation and obsolescence
wero estimated and assumed in the
replies to Questionnaires.
