zON|NG HEARINGS
TOG0VERN AREAS
BEGIN IN AUGUST
Commission to Devote First
Ten Days of Month to
Listening to Owners.

! Formal hearings on the regulations
to govern the height, area and use of
buildings in Washington probably
fduring the first ten days Of August,
Col. Charles w. kutz, chairman of
| the zoning commission, said today.
The commission expects to devote
| the second ten days of August to a
study of the changes suggested by
property owners. Every effort will be
made to declare the city zoned on
September 1. The Zoning law, which
was approved on March /, provided
that the city should be zoned within
six months.
Before the public hearings are held
| taxpayers will be given the opportun-
ity to familiariZe themselves with the
restrictions proposed for their neigh
| borhoods. This opportunity will be at
forded through the agency of the six
| teen advisory committees which have
| been created by the commission &c
spread information about the proposed
| zones and gather the sentiment Of the
sections they represent.
| Map CIassifes Streets.
BY the first of next week the COM
mission will place with these COM
| lIlilleeS COpleS Ol d map SHo"l Ing Tic
| tentative use districts. On this map
! every street in the city is placed un-
| der one of four classes-frst COM
! mercial, second commercial, industrial
and residential.
BY July Is the commission will fur
nish these committees with copies of
another map, showing the proposed
height restrictions for every street.
A week later third set Of maps
will be distributed to the committees
showing what PERCENTAGE of the lots on
every street can be utilized for building
purposes and what proportion must be
left for light, air and health purposes.
Incidentally, the area regulations will
help to beautify the city by requiring
uniform building projects on the same
street
Busy Month for Committees.
This program suggests a busy month
upon whom the commission is depending
to acQuaint the city with what is pro-
posed.
AS the maps are turned over to the
committees each committee will make
study of the restrictions which have
been applied to the community it repre-
sents. The committee then will seek to
| determine by neighborhood meeting or
otherwise whether the residents are sat
isffed with the classification into which
the neighborhood has been placed.
Hearings ON Appeals.
If part of the neighborhood has
been designated commercial or in
dustrial and the surrounding property
owners feel that the action is not
fair the first step will be for the
neighborhood advisory committee to
endeavor to have the designation
changed. If an adjustment cannot be
made in that way the question can
be brought up at the formal hearings
in August.
Col. Kutz will be one Of the busiest
men in Washington this summer.
Referring to the vast amount of work
to be done on zoning during July and
August the colonel said:
Il do not expect to take a vacation
until after the city has been zoned"
Neither will Commissioner Brown
low be able to take a vacation unless
the President appoints another Com
missioner as recess appointee.

PARSONS SAYS REALTY
SITUATION NOT SERIOUS

Frank J. Parsons. vice president Of
the United States Mortgage and Trust
Company, New York, commenting on
the real estate situation says:
1T is clear that construction costs
and labor difficulties have made II
almost impossible for new building to
keep pace with real estate sales and
the real demand for homes and BUSH
ness structures. This has resulted
in increased borrowing and to certain
extent makes the real estate situation
insecure and calls for careful watch
ing. In the long run it may prove,
however, that these factors are bless
ings in disguise, as they have pre-
vented excuses in building construc-
ton and real estate speculation at 4
time when the mass OF the people
were little inclined to put any re-
straint upon their spending or the
enterprises in which they were en-
gagged"

HOMECOMING IDEA IS
LIKED IN PHILADELPHIA
Housing Features There Which
Washington Might Study to
Some Adyautave

Here are some of the outstanding
features of the housing situation in
Philadelphia which may be studied
and followed to advantage by the
people Of Washington in their present
condition due 10 the shortage Of
homes:
1.-THE Philadelphia type of house.
Individual houses, built in rows, two
stories high. Six rooms and bath.
Fifteen to twenty feet front. Suit
able for outlying sections. Can be
built even today for less than $1,000.
Cooperative societies which enable
wage earners and small salaried men
to buy homes for as little as $40 cash.
borrowing the rest of the initial pay
ment from the society and making
regular monthly amortization pay
ments on the property. Societies
financed in part by sale OF stock to
occupants of houses themselves.
Own-your-own home stimulation.
Because of the small house ana
numerous building and loan associa-
tons, Philadelphia is known as the
City of Homes, most of its 400 900
dwellings being owned by the occu-
pants.
Scientific planning of industrial
districts. separating them so that
houses can be spread over wide
area, making tenements unnecessary.
A clearing house for housing in
vestigation, information and sugges-
tons, and for stimulation of new
building and home ownership. These
functions performed by Philadelphia
Housing Association.
Central heating plant for large
numbers of small houses. as In the
Grard Estate development.
Quadrangle development with rows
OF small houses surrounding park
and playground.
Model villages built for war workers
by the Government with the Phila-
delphia type of house improved.

LICK OF BUILDING
funds FELT HERE
Loan Associations Have S20,-
100000 Outstanding, With
Double That Demanded.

Building and loan associations of
the District OF Columbia have APP
prsximateIy 10000. 900 invested in
local real estate There Is demand
fer nearly double that amount. judy
ing by the number of would-bo bor-
rowers who daily are turned away be-
cause OF lack of funds. This was the
statement of the secretary of one of
the large building associations
The tight money market In the
building world Is not alone felt by
these associations. OF which there are
about eighteen in Washington. Trust
companies and real estate establish
ments all testify to the scarcity OF
money for building. Several of the
leading institutions issuing real estate
notes have Just resorted to raising
interest rates from per cent to Z
per cent.
The reason for the increasing short
age of building funds Is attributed
to the fact that many other sources
of investment furnish higher returns.
1t is pointe dout especially that many
OF the foreign bond issues being float
ed in the United States offer much
higher interest returns and money
needed for urgent building purposes
suffers as result.
The facts stated by realtors and
bankers show that there is virtually
no money available in quantities suf-
ficient for launching new projects of
apartment house or office building
size. There is little available for
homo building.
The small home buyer receives the
preference over others seeking loans
at a majority of the building asso-
Citations, IL was stated.
The demand for money for invest
ment has doubled in the past year at
this institution" said Joshua w. Carr.
secretary of the Perpetual Building
Association. 1T has quadrupled in
the past several years. During that
time the supply of money coming into
the association has remained about
the same"
Frank p. Reeside, secretary of the
Equitable Cooperative Building As
ISOLATION, testified that these figures
apply also to most of the other insti
buttons of this character in the city,
in his belief
There is a wide field for investors
in the building associat lions alone"
Mr.. Reside pointed out. He called
attention to the fact that the demand
for money exceeds the supply by 100
per cent.

SHORTAGE OF HOUSES
DELAYS CUPD'S GAME

Are marriages being delayed be-
cause OF the shortage of living ac-
commodatoions?" a reporter asked a
city employee familiar with condi-
tions in the marriage license bureau
II should say they are was the
reply. There are hundreds OF young
people who cannot get married be-
cause they can't find quarters Tor
rent. Moreover. l know from recent
investigation by the Health Depart
mont. that hundreds OF families have
bcen compelled to scatter all over
town. The husband may be living
in one place, the wife in another, and
the children are often to be taken
care of by more fortunate relations.

new project that becomes an active
operation helps the general situation.
1t must be borne In mind that the
longer new work is delayed the more
serious the housing situation becomes.
We have fallen so far behind normal
requirements that a prolonged period
OF intensive building must necessarily

the housing situation become entirely

The plans for the new Strauss
building call for a twelve-story
structure of which s. w. Straus & Co.
will occupy three banking floors; in
addition to which they will utilize
the entire top floor as a library, rest
and recreation rooms and for various
other features connected with their
welfare work. A ten-foot setback
surrounding the building will be used
