director of William A. White & Sons,
in statement issued yesterday on the

What Life Insurance Reports
Statements Of some of the important
life insurance companies show that
their mortgage investments have
brought them the largest returns. I'm
der existing conditions ,nc fire insur-
arcc companies obtain business by the
fire clause in every mortgage placed on
real estate, which compels fire insur-
ancc to be carried for the benefit of the
mortgages. Such companies have mil
lions of dollars in assets and no mort
gage commitments. For this reason it
naturally follows that owners of prop
crty, in placing their insurance, will
discriminate in favor of the companies
that give consideration to them.
Money Supply Is Ample
CAS- TO the future of the mortgage
market, it is generally believed that
money will be much easier. Person
ally, however, lean to the opinion that
it will be a somewhat longer time be,

Expert Advice
Is Valuable in
Realty Buying
Real Estate Man Tells of Mis-
take Not 10 Heed Warming
From Experienced Person
Before Making Investment

Tho person who ignores the advice
of real estate expert in making an
investment in real estate is as fool
hardy as he who ignores the instruc-
t1ons of his doctor or the counsel of
his lawyer. Somehow tho advice of
the doctor or the lawyer is rarely be-
1ttled.' The real estate broker re-
pcatedly is compelled to force his
views on a client, who thinks he is as
well qualified to judge the value Of a
property and its future as the man
who has spent years and wears in tho
study Of realty.
Chaunccy B. Griffin, whose field Of
operation is Wcstchestcr and Con
necticut, said yesterday that selling
real estate was a profession and that
mary who say they arc brokers are not
competent He condemned the man
who gives advice to folks when he
knows nothing about real estate and
would not act on his own suggestions.
ms type Of broker has in mind onlv
commissions. For this reason he
urged that those who are considering
purchases in the suburbs or in the cjtv
deal with men who know and who are
fully qualified to supply accurate data
OF the sort that every prospective pur-
chaser is entitled to receive before
consummating a deal
Land Value Should Decide Improvement
A condition which is not at all un-
usual, but which at all times is difficult
to explain to a home buyer or builder.
is the Importance of establishing the
proper ratio as between land and huild1
ing value. BY this he meant to say that
building should not be too COSTLY for
ITS neighborhood and surroundings. 1t
should be IN proper proportion to the
appraised value of the land: for in
stance, plot of land worth $4,000 JUS
tunes an investment Of approximately
$4,000 in house or total valuation
of $4,000.
Under ordinary conditions the land
value should be about onc-hfth that Of
the cost Of the buildings. This ratio
is safe one, although in some in
stances it may vary either way with
safety; but-the point Of demarcation
must be determined to a great extent
by the existing restrictions and the
possible future development Of adjacent
properties.
Favor License Law
Because Of the mistakes made FIRE.
quently in the past by purchasers, and
the more or less intentional errors of
judgment made by unqualified brokers
he is in full accord with the law that
licenses all real estate agents. This
law is in operation in many states. Its
adoption by all the reliable brokers in
the State of New York is an eventual
ity to be expected, as it is productive
of good results. The reliable, honest
broker does not fear its restrictions
The opposition of the tricky. unreliable
broker should not be regarded sc.
riously.
What Broker Should Know

with the different type Of hovccs anl
their construction, the cost Of building
