May SOLVE HOUSE
DIFFICULTIES HERE
Long-Term Loan Plan Pro-
posed to Meet the
Situation.

A nation which subsidies its ten
ants increases its tenantry and de-
crease its housing.
The housing policy OF England
since 1851. has been to subsidize the
tenant. On December 16, 1919. Eng
lish legislation was formulated to
subsidize the builder. Both policies
were prompted by philanthropic mo-
tives. Both killed enterprise. Both
fail In making private ownership of
homes possible.
The so-called "unearned increment"
is the incentive to the investment Of
savings In homes and real estate. 1t
is chiefly through the hope OF en-
joying the unearned Increment of
property that the latent energy of
citizenry may be called forth.
Since 1s41 the United States has,
in its land laws. recognized this
great incentive. II has stimulated
the builduing of rural homes
through the wide distribution of
land under the homestead acts. Its
policy has been to enable the pros
pective home owner to acquire
properly through labor
In order that the traditional Ameri-
can policy with respect to home
ownership may be maintained, It is
now proposed to solve the urban
housing problem by placing adequate
long-term banking facilities at the
disposal of the would-be owner.-F.

SUBDIVISION ART

TOLD TO Y GROUP
Complete Division Opera.
ton of Acreage Tract
Explained to Class.

The development of subdivisions as
a separate department OF real estate
Was discussed before the real estate
class of the Y. NJ. c. A. this week
by Robert Z. Heater. The entire
subject covering the complete opera
ton Of bringing an acreage tract into
a finished subdivS ion was explained.
MI. Heater pointed out that many
people have had the idea that surbur-
ban development consisted only cf
acquiring tract OF land, superb
cially marking out certain lots and
streets and then going forth looking
for victimes. The only difference be-
tween the operator who did this and
the way Jesse James operated is that
the latter rode a horse and carried
r gun. Aside from this feature even,
II is an improbable proposition to
attempt to market subdivision that
has not been carefully studied and
scientifically laid out. The value of
the acreage tract must be carefully
measured. for mistake in this in
stance would result in a losing pro-
position for the developer from the
very beginning. Factors that enter
largely into the value. Il was stated,
are location Typography, surrounding
",
transportation facilities. development
requirements and the character and
cost OF improvkm Another veSy
important factor which is generally
overlooked by the lsyman. is the
quantity OF land that has to be de-
Quoted from the gross area for dedi-
cation as streets and alleys. This
has to be taken into account mathe-
matically in order 10 determine the
net land available for sale.
Subdivisions within the District of
Columbia must now be laid out in
conformity with the general scheme
of streets that has been designated
by the Highway Commission. The
plan adopted by the commission has
in mind fixing all permanent road
ways for the purpose of uniformity
as the city gradually develops.
All first-class subdivisions usually
have installed all improvements be-
fore the property is marketed. One
of the first improvements after the
land has been properly surveyed and
graded is the laying out and improv-
ing OF streets, cutters and side walks
Subdivisions within the District OF
Columbia are connected up with the
main sewer and water system. and
are tapped when the development OF
homes begins.
1t is not generally understood. Mr.
Heater stated that a. improvements
such as streets. sidewalks, sewers

done by the District government as

Some operators calculate the entire

pose of determining the sale price

Now for a ten-year holiday in

OF one type or another" says an
expert. Il can truthfully state
that at no period have been con-
fronted with greater difficulties or
suffered more disappointments
through inefficient and arrogant
labor than during the postwar
years. These problems have faced
practically all other builders in this
city. and on many occasions we
have despaired of change.
Must ReorganIze Building.
To-day the building industry is
still far from purged of its evils.
Trade practices and abuses must be
eliminated before it can get back
to normal. l am confident that the
moral status of the local building
industry is on a higher plane to-
udS iHdH II mas DteH IN the past
The time will come when every one
interested will be forced to admit
that Samuel Untermyer has done
more for the welfare of the indus
try and the public than any other
Individual. No one else could or
would have attempted to do what
he has done.
Public Must Pay for Waste.
THE public in the end must pay
for prevailing high building costs
in inflated home values and extor-

just where the responsibility lies.
