PETTY OUTLINES
APPRAISAL WORK
Realtors Secretary Tells Of
Activities of Boards
Committee.

Importance and extent of the work
done by the appraisal committee of
the Washington Real Estate Board
were stressed in a statement issued
today by John A. Petty, executive
secretary. The development of the
board, according to Mr.. Petty, is car
ried on through the cooperation of
standing committees. These COM
mittees are appointed at the begin
ming of the year and have a program
of activities outlined. During the
summer season. when the luncheon
meetings are suspended, the board does
not hold any meetings, but the various
committees continue to perform the du-
ties assigned them.

Where Shortages Fail.
Surpluses balanced deficits and no
appreciable shortage could accumu-

continuously below normal and the
need for new building became in
creasingly acute. Since the country
must make up this tremendous de-
