Vandp Mcclellan viii Go Under
Auctioneer's Hammer
IT,. in March.

The War Department has or
dered Charles s. Gerth, head of
tGerth's Realty Experts, of New Or
leans and New York, to sell at
auction on March l, and 8, 500
military buildings at Camp McClel-
Ian, Admission, Ala. A few weeks
ago Mr.. Gerth was directed to sell
sos houses owned by the United
State Shipping Board Emergency
Fleet Corporation at Wilmington.
Del. Recently he sold for the Gov
Ga; Camp Funston, junction City,
Kansas; Camp Grant. Rockford,
Ill; Camp Sherman, Chillicothe
Ohio; WATERFOWL South Dakota
Target Range; No. 4 Nitrate Plant,
Ancor. Ohio. and Neville Island,
Pittsburgh, Pa. With the Wilbur
Wright flying field at Dayton.
Ohio, and practically all other sales,
sums were realized far in excess of
the appraised valuations.
In announcing details Of the sale
at Camp Mcclellan, Mr.. Gerth said
that the War Department is anxious
to have the general public, small
bidders In other words, make their
wants known when the Government
property is sold under the auc-
tioneer's hammer. A special invi.
tation has been extended to work
ers to invest in building material
for homes of their own, and to farm
ers to obtain lumber. for new farm
buildings and other purposes. The
aim of the War Department is to
give everybody a chance. Notices
about the auction have been sent
to land developers. investors, specu-
lators, operators, home building con-
Germs, house wreckers and all classes
Of dealers throughout the country:
Included in the sale at Camp Nc
Clellan are millions Of feet of lum.
Der, thousands of feet Of wiring and
piping, hundreds of doors and win
dows, and a vast amount of mate
rial for which there is ready
market some Of the 500 buildings
to be sold contain as high as
10000 feet of lumber and great
quantity Of articles adapted for COM
mercial and private use. AS in other
sales held for the Government by
Mr.. Gerth, successful bidders will
enjoy the privilege of taking as
many buildings or articles Of the
same type as desired in continuation
at the knock down" price.
Thomas A. Shields, engineer for
Gerth's Realty Experts, Is now at
Camp Mcclellan completing esti.
mates of the amount Of materials
In the various buildings. Within the
week all data will be in the hands
of the printer at Admission and short
ly thereafter a catalogue containing
a list ofall property to be offered at
action will be ready for distribution.
Those interested in this important
sale are urged to investigate the
property carefully before making
bids. The action will start at 10
q. m. daily.

ments. II sold In q reasonable tiine'
produces a fair profit.
There are three distinct classes
that deal in real estate: the investor
Of large means who Is willing to
take his profit In later years; the
speculator who, as a rule, buys for
quick return; and the developer
who produces subdivisions out OF an
acreage tracts.
In past years small dwellings have
proven fairly satisfactory as invest
ments, provided proper attention
was given the question OF up'keep
repairs. Depreciation In this class
of property Is very extensive where
the proper attention 20 minor re-
pairs Is not given when the need
first arises. The unusual increase In
cost of repairs, together with certain
phases of restrictive rental legtsla-
ton has tended to destroy somewhat
the popularity Of this form or invest
ment.
As a city develops, changing con.
ditions In different sections have q
very material effect on the value and
desirability of real estate. Where a
residential section Is gradually alb
sorbed by business encroachment
tho timo comes when the value OF
the land increases to such a point
that the physical value OF the i'm
provements Is absorbed. and II then
becomes profitable to destroy an
otherwise perfectly sound building
for the purpose of constructing q
building more in keeping with the
changed conditions.
Then, again. sections that at on'
time were considered very high class
residential sections undergo a change
in character OF occupancy withou'
the encroachment Of business witf
the result that some rather expen
sive residences are found In sections
where the value In far below tins
actual physical value Of the building
and reproduction cost.

pany.
In classifying the different forms
Of real estate investments. Mr..
Bradley stated that business prop
critics and apartment houses were
considered the highest forms Of In
vestments. Usually business prop
critics produce a net rental in that
the tenant is responsible for repairs
and carrying charges. Apartment
houses, which have in recent years
become so popular. and in fact al
most an absolute necessity, devel'
oped new field for investors.
Farms, generally speaking, are not
considered so good an investment
unless located near a city. This gives
a farm a speculative value because
OF the possibility for subdivision
purposes.

ducing properties appeal to the in
