ODE OF ETHICS OF REALTY BOARD CITY TO HIGHER PLANE

petept men who are capable OF car
Ing for owners interests before
the District assessor in matters of
taxation, and an insurance Depart
ment that can place immediate COW
erage on property. especially where
changes in character of business in
tenancies occur.
As property values change from
time to time IL becomes the duty OF
the executives and the heads of the
property management department
to advise owners of these changes
and consider this with the owner
in the renewing of leases. A ten
years lease may be a vaIusbl. as
set in some instances and a grave
detriment in others. As a result
of the constant development of the
apartment situation this phase of
the business has naturally been
given close study.
Today with the hotel apartment
In existence the question of service
has been one of the paramount fea-
lures connected with property. man.
agement. The problems confront
ing an owner Of an once building
are quite different from those fac
ing an owner of an apartment
house. The trained realtor must
not alone know the differences but
so build his organization as to be
capable OF handling them. In the
handling of residential properties
under rental, IL resolves itself
largely into the knowing OF values
regulated mostly by supply and
demand-on knowing how to select
tenants who are best fitted to any
particular property and to bring
all parties concerned into accord In
all matters that affect their re-
spective interests. A much more
difficult task now, when the err
ronous idea seems to prevail with
large part of the public and some
legislators that the property own
ers' interests are a secondary con-
sideration. However. shannon and
Luchs believe that ultimately this
seeming antagonism against per-
sons renting residential property Of
any description will clarity itself
by the investigation and publicity
given 1t by the District Of Columbia
Rent Commission and operate for
the good of both owner and ten
ant.
One thing stands out pre-emi-
nently today as regards property
management. II is no longer pos
sible for the individual. say the
merchant or the banker or men of
other business. to concentrate in
the detail handling of real estate.
1t is a profession in which cx-
perience and ability are needed in
exactly the same way that you need
legal or medical advice from time
TO time. As strange as il may
seem. the charges for expert real
estate service as found in our or
ganization are surprisingly lower
proportionately than those OF most
any other profession.

Washington builders.
Wcnger Brothers, composed of C.

building high-class residences OF
the larger type in Sixteenth Street
Highlands for the past five years.
To substantiate the fact that their
houses are in demand. Mr.. Wenger
states that all of their completed
operations have been sold. They
are now building two homes of
fourteen rooms and three baths,

H. c. Breuninger and o. r, Pc

houses have been sold. They are
now building four houses at 3512

Housing in Europe.
Apparently the United States IS
making greater progress in reliev-
ing the housing pressure than Eu-
rope. although it might be difficult
to convince the average rent-payer
hereabouts that any Improvement
has been made. England. France,
Italy, Russia, Austria and germany
still are struggling with the prob
lem, the writer was informed re-
Gently by a man who had just COM
pleted a tour of Europe.
Building costs have been reduced
abroad, he declares, but have not
yet reached a point where extern
sive programs for housing can be
undertaken. Even though building
conditions were more favorable he
doubts if any but the most urgent
projects would go forward. as
money is very difficult to obtain.
The visitor found hotels filled to
capacity in every prominent city in
Europe. The general impression is
that next spring will witness the
beginning of the greatest building
boom in history.

cost upward of s1.oOO,00O, brought
less than IS per cent of their orig

Many of the labor saving devices
of the gentleman farmer are too
costly and impractical for use by
the man who makes a business of
farming. Swimming pools. hanging
gardens, etc, on fine estates seldom
return even part of their cost to
the owner when the property is Of
fered for sale The prospective land
buyer considers these improvements
"luXuries" that lose their value
when they pass from the hands of

keep her as a remembrance of his

given a farm classification, and had
