LYON VILLAGE
LOT BUYERS
AIDED
LYON and Fitch Evolve New
Idea in Promoting and Inn
proving Suburb.

Perhaps one Of the most interest
ing phases of the development OF
Lyon village, the new Virginia sub
division being promoted by Lyon
and Fitch, who also owned and sold
Lyon Park, is the financial plan un'
der which the new project is being
offered to the general buying pub
lie.
Lyon Village, which lies on the
Lee Highway this side OF Clarendon,
enjoys one of the finest locations for
development purposes to be found In
the entire territory surrounding
Reached by driving across the new
Kew bridge and thence through Ross
lyn and straight out the Lee High
way-or, in the very near future,
by Capital Traction cars across the
bridge and theme by bus to the
property-it offers many advantages
and attractions which place the
value Of its land at figure con-
sistentlv higher than that of prop
-
,terview. Frank Lyon, joint owner OF
the property with Mr.. Fitch. sal0
that as a matter of fact, the land
is valued at an arbitrary figure Oh
thirty cents per square foot-hlgner
than any other subdivision property
has ever been appraised in that part
of Virginia.
with this high valuation, and
with the ensuing improvements that
Lyon and Fitch plan to install, it
is reasonable to assume a steadily
increasing volume of sales. But in
the usual manner of subdivision de-
velopment the promoters must Dor.
row money from banks IN order to
carry the projected improvements to
completion. In order to avoid this,
Mr.. Lyon has evolved a scheme
whereby in reality the buyers OF lots
in Lyon Village participate in the
financing of the improvements, thus
obviating the necessity OF borrowing
from. the banks ana at the same time
insuring the purchaser better re-
turn for the use of his money than
he could secure by depositing it in
any savings account. The method
is merely that Of strictly cash sale;
and for the consideration of cash
Lyon and Fitch. transfer the pur-
chased property for a sum one-third
less than, the established valuation.
In other words, Lyon and Fitch
are selling Lyon Village for 20 cents
per square foot-10 cents under the
established price-in order to secure
cash with which to carry forward
developments. The firms goal is 4
minimum working figure of 500. 900.
and a maximum of $500, 000. Once
this sum has been realized from the
cash sale of lots-and every dollar
of it Is to be returned to the prop
erty In the shape of improvements
the price of land in Lyon Village
will. be raised back to 80 cents a
square foot. ana perhaps higher
according to the enhancement the
Improvements bring.
incidentally, J.. " Kilgore, promi-
nent Arlington, county contractor
and builder, has started work on
the erection of five houses in Lyon
Village, the first which will, in
all probability, be ready for occu-
pancy in ninety days. He is con-
structing them as a pure specula-
ton, on his own initiative and with
his own capital.

Head Of National Association
of Real Estate Boards
Talks.

T.. r. Eppich, Of Denver, who Is
president of the National Assoc1a-
tion of Real Estate Boards and who
will visit the Pacific Coast nexE
month. recently issued the following
statement concerning the word
.tRealtor'' and its use:
We who are entitled to call our
selves Realtors have In that priv:
lege possession that is cumulative
IN value. With every movement for
the lIpbuilding Of our professional in
fluence, with every step in the rapid
growth Of the National Association
AZ Real Estate Boards, with every
recognition OF the integrity Of the
man who have formed its member
hnards and who in so doing pledged
Themselves to uphold its code Of pro-
feasionaI ethics, there grows, too,
the influence and value Of the word
that the association has coined to
designate these men.
Restrictions Built.
Around this word Realtor we have
built walls Of restriction. Our right
to keep its use strictly to our own
membership has been judicially al
firnned. It is our restrictive walls
that give the term it's force. We
have filled its meaning with the
whole spirit of our professional re.
sponsibility. 1t has behind 1t all our
professional achievement. We have
made it signify special knowledge,
trained Judgment, high standards Of
business conduct, full measure O.
service to clients, and farsighted
civic devotion.
But all this cumulative force, held
in by dykes Of restriction, could
trickle away to nothing. A little
leak here, and a little leak there, and
it would be too easy for the word to
drop from its high level Of content.
The very fact that it has proven to
be happy coinage, the very quality
about it that has brought it already

Florence, Aug. 13.-ReportS
of a cloudburst at the Oleson

afternoon. The motorists de-
clared thattapproximately three
inches of water fell in about As
minutes early yesterday morn
ing. Roads we're almost COM
pletely destroyed and many cul-
verts we're washed entirely away
More than 40 privately owned
cars operated by stage COM
pany we're marooned and delay
ed for hours by the Storm.
Many of the cars we're also seri-
ously damaged, according to re-
ports received here. The great
est damage inflicted by the storm
consisted in the destruction of
several miles of state highway.
The rainfall was the heaviest
that has been experienced in
this section for many years, and
had it not been for the damage
it inflicted, the rain would have
been quite welcome, as the
ranchers and stockmen of the
region where rain fell have been
needing rain quite badly for
some time.
Road crews will be put to work
this morning by Pinal and Santa

store the road to passable con-
dition. No estimate bad been
made of the amount of the dam
age that had been done by storm
