to know.
Notes Growing Population.
Tho population IN increasing and we
have reasons to believe that within ten
years the city will contain over Too.-
900 people. That means large bust
ness interests north Of II street be-
tween 14th street and Connecticut ave-
nue. and sustained demand for new
homes and apartments.
There now IL In Washington and al
ways will be ample money that may be
borrowed easily on real estate Of in
trinsic value. One distinct feature Of
Washington Is that first trust notes
bought from reputable real estate men
and bankers are without exception good,
for in case Of default Of payment or Of
interest one Is able to. collect the same
without cost or loss. In many cities It
is necessary to file a suit and undergo
but here all that Is necessary Is to no.
tify trustees and the money is COL
lected without cost or loss to the in
weston.
In short, there is no city in the
Union where real estate loans are safer
and real estate investments more at
tractive than in Washington, ana l sin
cerely believe that there is no place
where the standards of business among
realtors has been brought to a higher
plane than here

A word portrait of Washington Of
the future was created by Jesse
Hedges OF the Hedges & Middleton
firm In an address at the annual d.
rectors' dinner OF the Northeast Saw
ings Bank.
Here Is the way Washington may
look not many years from the pres
ent as seen by this realty man:
North Of H street between 18th
street and Connecticut avenue will
be a large department store. Be-
tween this department store Connec-
ticut avenue all the way to Chevy
Chase will be dotted with stores and
residences. Large business houses
will be erected in the same section as
the just mentioned department store.
Washington, in ten years with a
population Of 100000, will supply the
support for such institutions.
Mr.. Hedges Address Quoted.
In his address Mr.. Hedges said:
"Cities almost without exception
grow north and west. and the trend
In Washington is without question
that way. 1t requires no stretch of
the imaginatit to see in few
years a large department store north
of H street between 14th street and
Connecticut avenue. This avenue is
a thoroughfare leading to the north
and easy of egress. and within a few
years that street will no doubt be
dotted with stores and residences all
the way to Chevy Chase.
Rock Creek Park. so to speak, drives
A wedge into Washington, preventing
the continuation of several streets. The
city's business section may be likened
to the palm Of the hand, with George
town the thumb. Massachusetts ave-
nue. as the forefinger and Connecticut

ASK STATE CURB
ON LOAN SOCIETIES
Maryland Bankers Insist As
sociations Be Confined to
Proper Functions.

BALTIMORE, Md, May 19.-The
Maryland Bankers Association at
its convention at Atlantic City yes
terday unanimously approved 1000
building and loan associations of the
state under control of the state bank
commission.
The draft of the building associa-
ton bill is ready for the Legislature.
1t is designed to drive wildcat" as
sociations out Of business without in
terfering with legitimate organiza-
tions. 1t will affect about 900 as
sociations in Baltimore.
There are about 1000 homestead
and building associations in the state
of which 900 are in Baltimore. These
associations have in the aggregate
about $S4,000.000 in their custody and
deposits have been growing at the
rate of about 4 per cent per year.
Need of Supervision.
Bankers in touch with the situa-
ton say that the associations in
the main are carefully and conserva-
lively run, but they feel that this
should not be held by institutions
that are without supervision of any
character. the law having been chang
ed so that their last report was made
to the state tax commission as OF
January /, 1922.
1t was with this end in view that
the committee began its labors, and
it has discussed the situation with
real estate men. building association
men and lawyers. The opinion of
change would work for the public
good. Maryland belongs to the
minority of states that do not have
building associations under some
form Of state control. There are for
ty-two states which have some form
of regulation in force.
Starts Restrictions.
The proposed bill that will be pre-
scented to the state bank section and
then to the full convention of the
Bankers Association for approval Is
understood to throw restrictions
around the formation of new associa-
lions. to provide for reports and to
prevent associations from doing
things that. in the Judgment Of bank
ers, are best left to banks. If ap-
proved by the association. 1t will be
presented to the next legislature.
The bankers take pains to point out
that while building associations are
carefully managed and are one OF
the great forces for enabling the
man of small means to acquire his
own home and to accumulate some
thing Of this worlds goods. they have
grown SO large that state regulation
seems to them necessary. They fee.
that while land and the improvements
on it are as good as any other class
of collateral. they are necessarily
what is called in banking parlance 9
slow asset. and that the function OF
the building association. which Is tc
lend money on mortgages. should no
be confused with the function of the
bank, which, with it's assets in liquid
condition, is of an entirely different
character.

rnittee in charge.
Sales Signs to he Topic.
1t is expected that a discussion of
sales signs in relation to exclusive
agency will be entered into by large
number of active members who have
expressed interest in the matter. Ac-
cording to local realtors. sentiment in
favor of restricting the use of sale
signs on properties unless the broker
has been appointed sole or exclusive
agent is growing in Washington. If
this materialiZes into definite action
on the part of the board, 1t is be-
lieved that the practice of placing
several signs on one piece of prop
erty will be considerably lessened-
If not abolished.
