Real Estate Board Success.
hNy
the activities of the year. but they
have benefited professionally and fra
ternally through the reorganization
of the Washington Real Estate Board.
which took place early in the year.
Selecting John A. Petty as executive
secretary, the board established per-
manent headquarters in the Inter-
state building. on F street: organized
committees. inaugurated semi month
ly luncheons and carried out sue
cessfully two housing tasks for the
United States government. Much of
the credit for the progress made by
the board is given by members to
Mr.. Petty. who first worked out a
definite plan for the reorganization.
The housing services which the board
was called on to perform were in
connection with the influx of persons
attending the conference on limita-
tion of armament and of special visit
ors at the Armistice day ceremonies.
Percy II. Russell headed the COM
mittee which had charge of the hous-
ing arrangements.
Harry l.. Rust was succeeded re-
Gently as president of the board by
Harry K. Boss. Mr.. Petty is mapping
out plans which should make the
Washington board a leading spirit
in the annual convention of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards next June in San Francisco
1t is expected that 100 realtors and
their wives will attend the conven-
tion.
The main change in the board was
the broadening of the organization
into a civic body and the adoption
of policy of giving publicity to all
proceedings.

PROSPER NEW YEAR SEEN 4 E
IND. C.. REAL ESTATE CIRCLES
Increased Building Activity Forecast.
General Resumption of Home Con-
struction in Spring Predicted.

Indications point to even a greater
period of construction activity in
Washington during the coming year
than featured the closing twelve
month period, according to predic-
tions from sources in touch with the
building situation.
Local builders and real estate men
expect that there will be a general
resumption of home building during
the comieS spring in the District of
ColumbN, with a likelihood that great
stridesHorward in relieving the hous-
ing shortage will mark the year.
Improved Conditions Expected.
With prospects of more favorable
conditions, from a labor, material and
financial standpoint, than were preva-
lent the past year. it is the expecta-
ton that construction work of every
character will proceed uninterrupted
ly during 1922.
Builders in 1921 faced a tight money
market, a labor shortage, transport
tation difficulties and comparatively
high material prices. Today inves-
tors are favoring the real estate and
building field to an appreciable ex-
tent, labor and transportation diff
culties virtually have disappeared and
prices of building material have
dropped to a point where CONSTRUCTION
work is no longer being pu 'posely
delayed to await better conditions. it
is asserted.
A bulletin just given out by the
United States Chamber of Commerce
points out that three factors enter
largely into the problem of building
during the coming months: The price
of material. the price of labor and
the question of obtaining funds for
construction.
More Favorable Prices.
"Prices of material. on the whole.
are much the more favorable of the
three factors" the bulletin states. cit
is only here and there that there is
any apparent difficulty in this respect
The matter of too high priced labor
does not stack up SO well as that of
material. but running through the re-
ports there is a general belief that
not only are matters improving in
this direction. but when springtime
comes the long period of proba Bile
idleness of labor will naturally tend
Evening star., 1921-12-31

to bring about much more favorable
solution of this problem than is now
presented"
According to the chamber investiga-
tors. there are the usual scattered
exceptions to any general statement.
Labor, it is stated, Is plentiful in some
sections. scarce in others. The mat
ter or obtaining money for construc-
tion is said to be the most difficult
problem of all. 1t is not that money
seems to be SO high in price as that
IL is hard to get, particularly in the
agricultural sections and on the coun-
tryside rather than in the large cities,
ike Washington. There are a number
of comments by observers which are
summed up In two simple statements.
Impossible, and Money hard to
get. AT the same time there seems to
De general trend toward the solv-
ing or this problem.
Many Homes to BE Built.
The chamber experts explain. that
when construction gets under way
it Will apparently comprehend a great

and intent: this because of the su-
preme necessity OF more adequate
housing almost everywhere. There

cational buildings, schools and ad-
ditions to colleges and universities.
side of Washington, appeals to Con-
gress here, for all sorts of institu-
tions. will bear fruit probably the
coming year, it is believed. 1t is
stated that there will be large num-
Der of business buildings, a good
many of them in the shape of altera-
tions and enlargements.
In summing the prospects for the
new year. A. W. Douglas, chairman of
the committee on statistics and
standards of the Chamber of Com
merce, on behalf of his associates,
states:
Few things tend to hasten the re-
turn of better times more than the
building industry. Things used in the
building of dwelling houses call upon
practically all the industries of the
country for their products. a gem
eral and far-reaching construction
program in this country during 1929
is the best possible harbinger of a
return TO more prosperous condi-
tionS."

international Questions Arise.
The combination deal of selling the
Mexican government the MacVeagh
home and the sale of the old embassy
property was especially interesting.
due to the international complica-
ticns to be overcome. Appropriations
had to be put through the Mexican
senate and other governmental chan
nels. Special powers of attorney had
to be obtained from proper sources in
Washington in order to make good
the title of an unrecognized nation,
and these special papers had to be
witnessed by American consuls and
approved by the State Department of
the United States.

EXPORTS FALL OFF.
Fewer Foodstuffs Shipped During
Month of October.

Exports of foodstuffs from the
United States during October show a
falling off which can be accounted for
very largely by the fact that the do
mestic market has withstood the re-
cent world price decline better than
most Of the competing countries that
export foodstuffs to Europe. accord
ing to the Department Of Commerce.
In wheat the United States has ex-
ported from July l, 1921, to December
l, 1921, 181.000,000 bushels. compared
with 176.O0O,00O bushels for the same
period last year.
Ia meats there is a similar situation.
Declining exports may be ascribed to
the fact that our domestic prices have
stood up better in the world market
than prices in competing countries.
Recent low prices, said the depart
ment, are not so much the actual
oversupply of agricultural products
as the result of the forced liquidation
throughout the surplus producing
reions and very cautious buying in
regions, due to depreciation of Euro
pean exchange.
