National Association Of Real
Estate Boards, However,
Says Homes Lacking.

The meeting Of the governing com.
mittee Of the National Association Of
Real Estate Boards held in New York
last week. according to John A.
Petty. executive secretary OF the
local board. who attended the ses-
sions. was a very successful and I'M
portant conference. Delegates from
local boards representing more than
one hundred cities attended this con-
ference and accomplished definite re-
suits In formulating an extensive and
progressive program Of national &C.
tivity for the coming year.
One OF the most interesting confer.
ences held in New York was the ex.
perience meeting at which the dele.
gates recounted conditions in their
local communities in respect to hous-
ing. rentals. building construction
and financing. The discussions and
reports brought out at this confer

with the statistical report on bust.

tary OF the national association.

situated in 145 different cities. in re.

Interesting results. The figures on
the national housing situation clearly
demonstrated the seriousness OF this
problem.
Although practically all the cities
reporting noted unusual increases In
building operations during the past
year. only two cities had reached the
point where they were considered
over.built. A number Of cities re-
ported that the house building pro-
gram OF the past year had about met
the shortage, but q large Una ajority
reported that there was still a dis
tinct shortage existing. In every in.
stance the shortage was most ap.

particularly those available for rental
purposes.
The scale Of rentals. according to
these reports. indicates that normal
stability has not yet been reached.
In the residential properties, general.

q tendency toward an increase. in.
