One Hundred Real
Estate Men Nav
Attend Assembly

According to Thomas E. Jar
reH, chairman of the convention
club committee of the Washington
Real Estate Board, the interest
shown among the board members
in the coming convention at San
Francisco assures the minimum DEL
egation of 100 that his special COM
mittee has undertaken to form.
One of the principal reasons for
the increased interest and activity
in this committees work is the
fact that so many of the larger Of
fees are guaranteeing to their
statesmen free trips to the conven-
ton with all expenses paid. This
feature, which is an idea of purely
local origin, has been the means or
creating a desire on the part of
statesmen as well as realtors to be
counted in the Washington delega-
ton.
In addition to the individual
members of the board who have
signified their intention to attend
the convention, the committee has
received ten blank memberships
from three different offices, the
Names of which will be filled in ac-
cording to the success of the diff
ferent statesmen in those offices.
The committee is now planning a
poster which when completed, will
be distributed among the different
members offices and posted con-
spicuously as a constant reminder
to local realtors to be prepared to
boost for Washington at San Fran
cisco.
Associated with Mr.. FARRELL on
this committee are the following

j. A. Petty Tells Realtors
How Local Organiza-

An enlarged special membership
committee was recently appointed
by Harry X. Boss, president OF the
Washington Real Estate Board. in
line with the increased activities
planned for the board during the
coming months. This membership
committee as now created has
larger responsibilities than existed
with former committees. In sddi-
ton to securing new members for
the board, this committee investi-
gates and recommends each appli-
cation before il Is considered by
the executive committee for final
action. In order TO properly safe
guard the membership. every ap-
plication must also be submitted
to each active member Of the board
before IL can be considered for
election.

URGES BUILDING
OF HOMES NOW
Expert Cites Advantages of
Buying Instead of Pay
ing Out Rent.

TT is far better to build a home
now and run q risk Of 10 per cent
depreciation on a lowered cost OF
reproduction than to remain q ten
ant and expend so per cent Of your
purchase price as rent while you
wait for a fall in prices that Will
be slight when 1t finally does come"
This is the attitude d Wash
ington real estate agent, an expert
in his line. assumed when cornered
by a reporter yesterday into max
ing a statement on the present
building situation.
"A tenant content IN his position
as a tenant, displays a degree OF
intelligence in management of per
sonal finances which would warrant
his discharge from any position of
responsibility from any employer.
There are isolated instances where
in there is justification, but they
are the exception.
Home ownership is a privilege
and n right. granted TO all and not
reserved Tor a favored few. The
Constitution of the United States
makes this grant universal even be-
fore the rights of franchise. Our
nation is founded and cannot exist
on any other principle than TINS
right of private ownership.
First cash payment is the sup
posed obstacle that cannot be sur
mounted. AS mythical as a Greek
god. One thing only governs first
cash payment, moral risk. Bring
the average man to a realization OF
the fact that a real estate broker
is a professional man. with a genu-
inc code of ethics and a desire TO
further universal home ownership.
Forget this idea of high prices and
realize that an era of high prices
is the heydey for the landlord.
Read want ad columns and rea-
lie this fact: No real estate brok-
er with an ounce of gray matter
will spend his money advertising
over-priced property. 1t must show
value, otherwise he will not spend
his good money advertising. Would
you question your physicians
knowledge on medical matters!
Then why not the same reason be
applied to real estate. Place your
confidence in a reliable firm. let IL
arrange your payments within your
ability to pay. The firms risk Is
reputation, something that gold
cannot purchase, too valuable TO be
bartered for personal gain. You will
profit by It's experience

FEUDAL CASTLE WfTHSUNK
GARDENS SEEN IN BIG PROJECT
Location Selected Is in New York City, But
Country Will Be at Back Windows.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Philan-
thropists and financiers of New
York are laying plans for the cree
ton of $4,000 900 apartment
house group, built to resemble a
feudal castle, surrounding a big
court with sunken gardens, a boat
ing and swimming lake and tennis
courts. with the city at the front
door and the country peeping in at
the back window. A site for the
project already has been selected.
Harry White, architect of Cleve-
land, claims that the apartment
buildings. which will occupy an en-
tire block and house approximate
~ 1000 families, can be rented as
cheaply as many others with less
desirable qualities. Mr.. White Is
already carrying out somewhat
similar project in Cleveland.
The structure will be of brick,
stone and stucco. with corner
towers of sixteen stories and inter-
mediate towers of twelve stories.
The design will be a composite of
the various English styles, with
dominant touches reminiscent of
both the Elizabethan and Tudor.
Require. No More Space.
To make the aspect from the
back windows worth while all OF
the space ordinarily given to inner
and outer courts, rear yards and

would go far toward solving the
housing problem in the larger
cities. 1t is said.
The plan at Cleveland calls for a
border of broad boulevards sur
rounding the houses. The houses
themselves will cover only Is per
cent of the entire ground area. or
the remainder, so per cent will be
given over to gardens and 40 per

of sunken gardens is a large lake

and skating.
In making allowance for ample
recreational possibilities the archi-
tect had before him many practi-
cal examples of the efficacy of out
door sport as an agency for pro-
noting communal spirit in an
apartment house community.

In Mr.. Whites plan awning
covered porches, broken here and

the gardens. This is another

other cities in the United States, and
one which has made the employment
situation in Memphis much better
than elsewhere.
During the first ten months of the
year 900 permits have been issued
for about one mllino dollars worth
of work. more than for the entire
year OF 1920. Considering that costs
this year average about thirty pei

work In Memphis will amount tc

Permits are not required for work
in Shelby county or in the suburbs
outside of the city limits. therefore
| there is no actual record of the
amount of this work but it is far
in excess of that of last year, even
more so than within the city. This

weather and sun bathing in the
winter.
In order to make the fullest use
of the space devoted to the actual
structures the apartments all con-
form more or less to a uniform
plan. There is a central entrance
hall with the living room and din
ing room on either side and door
at Its furthur end leading to the
bedrooms and bath. The fve-room
apartments have one bath and the
six and seven-room suites two
baths each. The living room meas
ures 14x20: dining room.' 14x1s: en-
trance hall 7x12; main bed chamber
lexis; second chamber, 12xl5, and
third chamber, 1Ox10.
In the living and dining rooms
the floors are marble mosaic in dull
tones. All floors throughout the
house are lined in cork. Tea
wagons with colored metal baskets
are provided in each apartment
wherein dishes are deposited after
meals and sent down in electric
dumbwaiters to a central washing
plant, where they are scrubbed,
FURNISHED, secured and polished and
returned glistening to their owners.
This service of course is not in
cluded in the monthly rental, but
must be paid for on a monthly ar
rangement as an Item of general
operating expense. Another item
that comes under this head is the
artificial cooling of apartments in
summer time.
Has Cooling Plant.
All radiators throughout the
house are displaced with heating
coils of pipe with valves concealed
in the walls and proper drainage
below SO as to permit of the use of
the same pipes for a refrigerating
system. This means an extra
charge cost of SO a month during
the summer for each tenant.
1t was the application of the plan
to the Cleveland project that first
brought the scheme to the atten-
ton of the New York group. The
latter were especially impressed by
the extraordinary provisions for
light. air and recreation and in

drawings. Clay models were made
of the housing group in its entirety
so as to give more intimate con-
ceptton of the plan.
