$1,000 sale price. The tenant must
pay insurance. taxes and water rent
the same as if the house had been

A model loan plan for financing
home buying was laid before the
mortgage and finance division of the
Boards today in a report by NJ. D.
Arnold, jr., of Philadelphia, chairman
Of the divisions committee on housing
loans. The division is meeting this
afternoon in the small ballroom of
the Willard and is being presided
over by Hiram s. Cody of Chicago,
chairman. Addresses were delivered
by Miss Ann +. Rae, Niagara Falls,
N. Y; C. T. Moffett. Minneapolis; /;
Hume Cronyn, London, Ontario,
Canada. and J. N. Stalker, Detroit.
Details of Plan,
The plan for home loans follows:
1. A first mortgage loan not exceed
ing SO per cent of fair appraisal.
The committee reports this should
meet the requirements of the lender,
who rightfully expects a satisfactory
margin of safety.
2. A loan for a period of ten to
fifteen years: interest only to be paid
for three to five years, with amortized
payments thereafter till maturity.
This should meet the requirements
OF the owner on account of the per-
manency feature, the report finds.
and should be acceptable to the
dealer or contractor, as it will enable
the purchaser to take care of the
payment of the second mortgage
notes.
Prepayment option. in whole or in
part, after three years from date of
loan. This, the committee finds, will
ordinarily satisfy the lender, and
should appeal to the owner, who is
fortunate enough to be able to get
rid Of the second mortgage and begin
amortization payments at the end
OF three years from date of loan.
Figures Show Increase.
Tho part of the building associa-
tiops in the home program
was outlined by Miss Rae. who gave
figures to show the increase Of these
associations.

defers the builders profits for twelve

SMALL-SPACE MAN DEFENDED

Parity With Big Patron.

The large tenant is not entitled to
any advantages over the small ten

more. Md, told the property manage
ment division, meeting this afternoon
in the sun parlor of the Washington
Hotel. Louis T. Orr, Chicago, is chair

both business and residential, and by
H. ]. BRAKEMAN of Detroit on property
management as a profession.
Mr.. Martien pointed out that when a
large tenant moves he leaves big
gap to be filled, while when the renter
of a small space moves it can be
quickly filled, and for that reason the
large tenant should pay premium
for his space.
Type of Tenants Vital
"A building" he said, "is known by
the class of people who occupy it. A
factory, warehouse or store property
can live down a bad tenant or two, or
even more. But a few undesirable
tenants in an Office building seem to
attract others, and in short time the
building is on the down grade. Some
buildings, once started, never go any
other way.

property for their tenants if they can
be shown that it is profitable.
'The owner of an Office or loft
building is of necessity interested in
the success of his tenants. He must
know when to decline a tenant whose
entrance would be detrimental to the
success of other tenants in the build
ing"

tendency also has arisen out OF pur-
chase of land by those who were not
settlers and had no intention of be-
coming so.
THE commission also found that
in ten years from 1910 to 1920 the
average selling price of irrigated land
had more than doubled. Similar in
creaSes were noted in the cost of
wages of labor necessary to develop
ment.
Favors Wide Survey.
"The committee has. therefore.
recommended that the Secretary of
the Interior be authorized to under
take a comprehensive survey of the
agricultural and economic features of
each of these projects, to employ
trained farm and economic advisors
to help settlers make the best use of
their labor and their opportunities
and to require every applicant to pre-
experience, character and capital as
will make him reasonably assured Of
success. 1t recommends also that
provision be made for short time
loans from the reclamation fund to
entrymen on projects, not to exceed
$500 at one time, to any one person,
and that the money be used for the
purchase of necessary live stock and
equipment"
"Cities are hand made; whether
they are physically bad or physically
good is largely the responsibility of
the realtors" said Mr.. Nichols.
These are the questions in the
minds of a real estate board, he con-
tinued:
as our city full Of fire hazards:
do the buildings in our city con-
tribute to disgraceful housing situ-
alton; are we permitting the con-
struction of individual homes of such
1imsy character that the life savings
of the buyer will be dissipated in
rapidly deteriorating structure; do
we permit sewer outlets to endanser
our water supply or to render un-
tenantable large tracts of otherwise
useful land; have we provided the
proper number and the best distribu-
tion of parks and Fairgrounds; have
we a traffic problem; is automobile

Attention, Realtors!

To settle several estates, tract of about
700 acres just outside Richmond is available.
Property lies in exclusive Westhampton dis
trict, adjoining Country Club of Virginia,
Richmond and Westhampton Colleges and
overlooking beautiful James River. Millions
have been invested in developing the terri
tory, which is already built up to the prop
erty with high class homes.
The beautiful, rolling character of the land,
the club and college atmosphere and the To-
cation combine to make this the one remain

ELECTED AT A MEETING
HELD HERE FRIDAY.

An organization OF the lawyers OF
the Pataula circuit was effected in
Dawson Friday to be known as the
Pataula Circuit Bar Association. This
action followed the gathering here OF
numerous members of the bar OF the
circuit to attend a barbecue given by
Judge M, J. Yeomans
Mr.. James w. Harris, OF Cuthbert,
was elected as president OF the asso-
citation, Mr.. w. L. Bryan, of Donal-
sonville, vice president, and Mr.. War
rem B. Parks, Of Dawson, secretary
and treasurer. The president and seG-
rotary and treasurer and the following
representatives, one from each OF the
counties of the circuit, were named as
members of the executive committee
Terrell, w. H. Gurr; Seminole, R. H.
House; Miller, P. D. Rich; Randolph,
