fost. The knowledge that in the near
future Washington will be equipped
with an auditorium capable of ac-
commodating the entire membership
OF the National Association of Real
Estate Boards in annual convention
was an impelling motive. ii is under
stood.
Lack OF Auditorium Cited.
Washington has never been selected
as the convention place of the whole
organization. due to lack of audi
torium facilities here, it is pointed
out. The convention last year in Chi
cago was said to have been tine
the history of the country. Only
cities with halls large enough to hold
the vast assemblage of realtors have
been fortunate enough to be selected
as the annual meeting place.
The convention this year will be
81 and lasting through the first week
in June. An idea of the program
OF such convention is given in
the following announcement con-
corning the June meeting:
Few addresses are to be made be-
fore the general sessions of the con-
vention. In fact there will be few
general sessions. The greater part
of the program will be taken up
with conferences on important sub
jects. such as financing building. city
coming. subdivisions. farm lands, state
regulations and similar subjects. 1t
is to be known as a dotted line con-
vention. which to a realtor means

lures that have been arranged by
