THE building and loan associations
throughout the country have the
machinery already set up, and by this
exemption Congress has provided a
way of helping the people to help
themselves, by increasing the in

that unwise taxation policies now
impose upon savings funds that are
employed in the creation of homes

OFFICE BUILDINGS
PUBLIC UTILITIES
Leetch Says Evolution Came
as Business Centered in
Restricted Area.
AGENT MUST BE VIGILANT
Questions of Tenants, Repairs and
Investment Returns Need
Careful Study.

Frank p. Leetch. local realtor, ex-
pla;ned the management of office
buildings and business properties TO
membeESo of the Y. NJ. c. A. course in
reaI<estate at the session this week.
Efficient management, he declared.
has become almost a profession, call
ing for trained men with specialized
qualifications
Mr.. Leetch stated that the modern
office building was the evolution of
the centering of business in restricted
areas. with the resultant demand for
office quarters. Such progress has
been made in developing office build
ings that in cities like New York and
Chicago. buildings valued at well up
into the millions are almost claSsed
as public utilities, he said.
Mr.. Leetch pointed out that the
the greatest question confronting an
agent or manager of building is to
see that a reasonable and fair return
on the Investment represented is re-
ceived throughout the productive life
of building over span of years.
To accomplish this, a large organiza
tion is often required. especially in
the very large type buildings.
Must Be ViEiInnt.
Irrespective of the size of a build
the agent keep all rentable space at
the maximum point of occupancy" he
told the class. ITO do this requires
ingenuity, as an agent must be very
vigilant not to take in tenants that
are undesirable. Many buildings have
suffered because fy-by- -niEhters and
other improper persons were per-
mitted to occupy space to the discom-
fort and inconvenience of other de-
sirable tenants and to the detriment
!. of the building"
Next to the question of securing
tenants Mr.. Leetch pointed out that
service commensurate with the type
of building is absolutely necessary.
To give the tenants and their patrons
this service requires careful super
vision and an efficient organization
of employees of various grades. In
addition to elevator service. heat and
light. which must be given in rea-
sonable and regular manner, smaller
items of repairs and little accommo-
dations are very essential in keeping
the good will of tenants.
The next lecture. which will be
given on Tuesday evening. will be de-
livered by Edmund d. Rheem, local
realtor. His subject will be Real
Estate Loans.
