THE publicity given to fire pre-

tion Associations of Kansas and Ne
braska resulted In such substantial
decreases in fire losses that fire pre-
vehtion has been impressed upon the
minds of public officials as Of ut

citation after an extended trip in

As a result. public officials and
business men generally are in a re-
ceptive mood and somewhat enthus-
iastic over fire prevention activities
especially with reference to clean
up inspections and increase in fire
department facilities, says the Lum-
Der Bulletin. No thought has
been apparently given to: the en-
actment of proper legislation regu-
lating building construction. But the
advantage of better building con-
struction with view to diminish
ing fire hazards instead of trying
to make the efficiency of the FIRE de-
partment keep pace with '\the in

struction was readily appreciated.

Il want Senators to understand

Part in General
Conference.

Washington realtors will be rep
resented at the quarterly conference

four prominent local realtors. H. L

delegation, which will be composed
of John L. Weaver, former president
of the national association; Charles
W. Fairfax and F. W. Graham.
The party will leave Washington
tomorrow afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
and will go direct to Atlanta. Fol-
lowing the Atlanta conference, at
which it is expected that many i'm
portant discussions dealing with the
present shortage of housing
throughout the country will be
heard, a trip farther south is plan
ned.
1t is planned for the realtors to
leave Atlanta on the evening of
January IA and spend the following
day in Jacksonville, Fla, where
they will be the guests of the real
estate board there. January 16 will
be spent in Miami, where the real
tors will be taken for an automo-
bile tour through the grapefruit
groves to the edge of the Ever
glades. The Palm Beach board will
entertain the visitors the next day,
and on January Is Tampa will have
the visitors. Two days, January 10
and 20, will be spent in st. Peters

Passage Of any kind of restric-

CHEAPER TO own
HOME THAN RENT
INPRESENT DAY
Real Estate Now Going
From Debit to Credit
Side.

What effect will the enormous
scarcity of houses have upon real
estate so far as 1t relates to the ac-
tiyities of real estate men? When,
or IL, supply catches up with de-
mand, will conditions become the
same as they were before the scare
ity occurred? The Realty News, Buff
fAlo, thinks there has come a per-
manent change which will be won
derfully helpful. Discussing the sit
uation, it says:
Within the past two years a radi-
cal and important change has taken
place in Buffalo. which is affecting
the very foundations of the real es-
tate business and realty values.
Today II is cheaper to own ones
home than IL isfto rent IL.
z For a quarter of a century pre-
ceding this change real estate con-
ditions were, fundamentally wrong,
from an economic standpoint It
was, for many years. cheaper to
rent than to own property. In other
words. the man who had not invest
ed his money in real estate was ap-
parently better of than the one who
had.
While such conditions existed IT
was almost useless to talk of own
ing a home, for economic reasons.
Sentiment was the only argument.
Doing business with the man who
did not own property was difficult
because, why should he buy when
the average rent was less than the
interest on the purchase price?
New business with the man who
did already own real estate was al
most impossible, because low rents
made his previous investment un-
satisfactory.
Now all this is changed, for the
first time almost since 1898.
1t is no longer cheaper to rent
than to own. The sensible man
finls 1t cheaper to buy than it is to
rent, and the real estate operator
has an opportunity TO realize his
hong deferred profit.
Owner and non-owner both, and
that means everyone in Buffalo, is
beginning to see real estate in an
entirely different light. The whole
atmosphere is changed.
Real estate has gone, or is going.
from the debit to the credit side of
the ledger. -.
Never again will rents come down
to the old level. Never again. re-
gardless of how far materials or
commodities may fall, will houses
be as cheap as they were, because
this radical change that has taken
place in Buffalo is going to give in
creased value to the land itself; the
real real estate, which will more
than offset any reduction in con-
struction costs.
The Washington herald., 1921-01-09

doubted by those in close touch
with such matters whether the Dis
trict will participate in such a re-
sumption of building operations IN
the face of the enactment of such
legislation as is proposed.
The greatest shortage of homes
here as elsewhere is among those
for rental purposes, it is known.
Recent Investigations conducted
here have brought out this fact.
Those who have built homes to sell
have had no difficulty in disposing
of them. 1t has been hard for
months to attract into the real
estate field money to be invested
in homes for rent, because of the
fear Of the passage by Congress of
restrictive legislation such as is now
pending before the Upper House of
Congress. Should such legislation
become a law, it is predicted THAI
not only will 1T be practically i'm
possible to get investors to put
their money in rental properties, but
many people who now have their
money in such properties are most
certain to withdraw it, according to
those who know the local situation
thoroughly.
