Close of Present Season.

That fundamental conditions are
favorable to building operations, is
indicated by the attitude of S. W.
Strauss & Co., who continue to pro-
vide capital for building purposes
when the borrowers comply with the
requirements and safeguards set up
by the lending institution.
With the underwriting of a first
mortgage per cent bond issue. of
$3.50, 900 on a new office building in
Chicago, S. w. Siraus & Co., have
rounded out approximately 10000
600 in new building loans recently
made in various parts of the coun-
try, the larger share of which have
been on residential structures. In
commenting on the building situa-
ton S. w. Straus & Co., say:
we have attested our faith in
the building situation in this coun-
try by the continuous loans we are
providing on new structures where
the borrower is able to comply with
such requirements as we believe
necessary to safeguard completely
the interests of the bond holders and
make ample and adequate provision
Tor the payment of principal of the
debt and the interest thereon.
There is no fundamental reason
why building operations in q large
way should not go forward. While
construction work has been con-
Quoted this year on a scale Of con-
siderable magnitude taking into
consideration the Operations

shortage is still alarming. Our

WOMEN AS GUESTS

The interest of Washington real
tors is centered on the annual con-
vention of the National Association
Of Real Estate Boards which con-
yenes in Chicago Tuesday. This Is
the most important convention the
organization has ever held, and Is
expected to be the largest gathering
of business men ever assembled In
the history of the country. Among
the most vital problems that will
be considered are taxation and
housing. These subjects will be
discussed by the leaders of the
realty profession, and some practi-
cal and definite recommendations
are expected.
Expect $500 Delegates.
1t is estimated that 1900 defe-
gates from all parts OF the country
will attend the convention. With
ladies and guests, Chicago is pre-
pared to entertain 10000.
The local board will be well rep
resented. and the delegation is
leaving filled with the enthusiasts
of the recent successful reorgani-
cation. 1t will now rank with the
cities in point of organization ana
influence.
a proposition to change the name
of the organization from the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards to the American Realtors
Association is being sponsored by a
large percentage OF the delegates
from all over the country. but the
local delegates are prepared to fight
the question.
Representatives Leave Tonight.
The following are the delegates
who will leave tonight for the con-
vention: William Z. shannon, John
l. Weaver, II. l. Rust, H. K. Boss,
A. s. Gardiner. W. X. Hartung.

Will unite on Ine Trip IN tnelr eX-

The local delegation will be distin-
guished by the presence of John L.

the reason that last year Mr..
Weaver was the president of the
national association.
John \. Petty, the executive sec
retary. will spend a greater portion
of the time at the meetings of the
National Association of Realtor-
Secretaries. This is a separate and
distinct section of the convention,
which is devoted entirely to the
idea of developing and organizing
boards throughout the country. This
is an especial advantage to Wash
ington at this time, in view of the
fact that its board has just recently
been reorganized.

grow and develop no matter what
general conditions have been either
domestic or worldwide, and, with
the upbuildng of these cities and
communities there Is an ever pres
ent demand for new building. 1t
is the policy of this house to do
what is possible, consistent with
sound business practice. in assisting
in the upbuilding of the nation
through providing funds for build
ings.
We are happy to say that we
have found the present season pro-
ductive of many splendid oppor-
tunities for underwriting building
loans which comply with our re-
quirements. In our opinion the
general situation, so far as build
ing work goes. is improving and
we anticipate considerable activity
between the present TIME and the
close of the building season."

BUSINESS SECTION
Commercial Broker Gets
Big Commissions on
Such Sales.

Every real estate broker wants
to be a commercial broker on ac-
count of the occasional large COM
mission earned, says the National
Real Estate Journal. Such brokers
deal with merchants to large ex-
tent. These merchants usually
think that they know all about foot
travel, value of property, window
display, light, etc. 1t is very diffl-
cult to list any property exclusively
in this class. In fact, it Is hard
to get anything in writing.
A successful broker must be able
to give good sound advice, so it
behooves hirI 10 have a wide knowl-
edge of values, of the effect on
values of foot travel, street rail-
way facilities and of new buildings,
up or contemplated for immediate
erection. 1t is said that every sky
scraper INCREASES the values of every
piece of property that its shadow
falls upon.
Location Brings Success.
Many merchants do not appreci-
ate that the success OF their bust
ness is due to the location they are
| in, which was probably forced upon
them by a good real estate man.
Some merchants in Cleveland could
improve their business by moving
into more expensive quarters near
the foot travel that buys the goods
that they have for sale. The buy
ing power of foot travel varies. A
| hurrying foot travel going to and
from street cars does not neces-
sarily help a general merchant. 1t
might be all right to locate a cigar
or a drug store in the line of such
traffic.
A broker, to be Of any account.
| must be almost an absolute author
| ity on the buying power of foot
| travel. 1t is almost a self-evident
fact that merchant who buys
right has the article half sold. It
is surely sold II it is well displayed
at the right point to catch the at
tention OF the maximum number of
buyers. 1t is a real estate mans
job to locate the merchant at the
right point.
Involved in the question Of what
rent merchant can pay is the
question of the turnover Of mer-
chandise that can be handled il
the space to be rented. There are
cigar and drug stores and restau-
rants that must be located at points
that permit of day and night trade.
Such points are usually found near
the amusement centers. Any loca-
tion that permits OF a day and night
business carries additional value.
Some merchants having a distinc-
tive line can draw the trade to
them. and should be located in as
cheap a location az possible that
will not seriously Inconvenience
the public in their occasional trip
TO such a merchant.
People Produce Value.
People like to promenade along
the street that is most used. This
results in there being a main street
in every community. Naturally
such main street takes on more
value than adjacent streets. 1t is
always good point to locate on a
main thoroughfare near some busy
cross-town thoroughfare. Stores
near a corner are usually worth
more than IL in the middle Of a 0pn..
block. Arcades create value be-
cause they open up new thorough
fares. The afternoon sun affects
value. Street railway stops affect
values. Property is worth more al
corner where a car stops than o
where it does not.

INCREASE IN PUPILS.

OnSiel HSuFes issued tHk3 m6FH-
ing by l.. A. Mahoney, superintend-
-ent OF the Meline schools, show
that 4,79O children are enrolled in
the city schools at the end OF the
first week. This is an increase of
IVA over the enrolment at the same
time last year.
This increase is due to the addi-
ton of the Fairview school district
with 1877 pupils. The total enroll
ment in the city schools that we're
in the district last year is 460S, a
decrease of IS from a year ago.
The total attendance at the grade
buildings, exclusive of FaiFTiew. is
3,608, 1873 less than year ago. The
high school has an enrolment of
995, with prospects of more to
come, an increase of 125 over a
year ago.
The big individual gamer among
the grade buildings is Logan. which
has jumped from 1873 to 262. This
large increase is due to the addi-
ton of pupils from Grant and Fair
view. The largest losses are at Irv-
ing, where there is a decrease of
Sc, and at Washington, where there
are 58 less than last year.
