at a meeting Of the housing grfup Of
the City Club Monday night III the
clubhouse, Farragut Square.
THE campaign unfortunately was
launched at time when there was a
serious shortage of houses through
out the country" said Ihlder. THE
campaign precipitated a panicky sit
.pation and induced many people of
only moderate means to purchase
houses at exorbitant prices. Out OF
the campaign real estate Spectators
resped harvest. There were really
no unoocupied homes available for
purchase, and the campaign resulted
In owners of homes selling their
houses for pure speculation"
H. Clifford Bangs, chairman of
the group, who presided, favored
the licensing of all real estate
dealers and the penalizing of those
dealers who use unfair methods.
THE war brought a good many
shyster real estate spectators to
town." said Bangs. They should
be weeded out so as to protect the
good name OF the scores of honest,
fair-dealing realtors. Personally, I
am in favor Of a high license fee,
as much as $1,000 a year"
Bangs said that just prior to the
war there were about $500 vacant
houses in Washington. Today, he
said, there is practically none.
