Estate Board was told last night at
its meeting at Wardman Park Hotel
by Herbert Y. Nelson, executive see
rotary of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards. Mr.. Nelson said
that reports to the national aSsocia-
tion from all parts of the country in
dicated this.
He added, however, that reports in
dicated that the demand for medium
and low priced apartments and de
tached dwellings was still strong. and
there was every indication that the
demand would continue in 1924
The realty board was celebrating
Washington night" and in addition
to Mr.. Nelson, the speakers included
Maj. j. Franklin Bell. Engineer Com
missioner of the district: T. +.
Colladay. president of the Washing
ton Board of Trade, and Ii. X. Ennis,
newly installed president of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards
Both Maj. Bell and Mr.. Colladay
painted" glowing pictures of the
future Of Washington as a beautiful
city and of its possibilities for growth
in population.

Maj. Bell spoke particularly on
coming, saying that it's success de-
pended largely on getting public
sentiment behind il In many cities.
he pointed out, coming is behind the
city. but, fortunately. Washington
has zoning ahead of the city's
growth. Things that need correct
ing. can be corrected now. he said
He said that il was the desire Of
the zontng commission to preserve
the residential nature Of the city.
This nation. he asserted, can GER
tainly afford one city of the clean
residential type, and this ought TO
be it,
OF course. he said, the coming COM
mission cannot please everybody, but

Planned to Seize All.
Mr.. Anderson, manager of the local
Burns agency, said original plans
called for the seizure of twenty cabs
A Tip" to the company, however,
after the eight cabs had been called
out, resulted in orders to chaufYeurs
not to leave the District, and for
various reasons seizure in the District
of Columbia was not desirable
Anderson said.
a few days ago a representative
of the finance corporation came to
washington to arrange seizure of the
cabs under the conditional sales con-
can be taken at any time if payment
of the notes lapses. This was the
case, Anderson said, and a number
of marines stationed at the United
States marine headquarters here were
utilized as operatives temporarily, he
explained. He said the agency was
accustomed to make use of certain
marines here during their periods of
! leave from duty when occasions
necessitated employment of additional
operatives.
The plans were to drive right
through to New York with the cabs,
where the jurisdiction would be on
| the home grounds OF the finance COR
poration.
Upon arrival in Marlboro, he said,
each fare" took possession OF the
cab with little or no difficulty. One

Washington Ranks seventh.
The Significance in the fact that
Washington went into seventh place
in the amount of building done dur
ing the past year was discussed by
Mr.. Colladay. He said that 1T was
not done by throwing into the bal
ance two or three large government
buildings that were constructed, or
by throwing into the balance build
ing construction for the District gov
ernment. but it was done iii the
course of ordinary construction.
He predicted that washington
would double in population In the
next twenty years. He told the real
tors that if they would prepare them
selves TO give the city a reasonable
amount of stimulation. by pulling a
little and pushing little. ana put
ting the hammer away, Washington
not only would enlarge in bulk in the
next twenty or twenty-five years, but
would enlarge 200 per cent in other
ways. He said he believed that the
city was breaking its shackles, and
that the realtors, more than any
opportunity.
MIR. Ennis told of the work Of the
national association, and said that he
had met many realtors who already
had announced that they were coming Z
to the annual convention of the ma :
tional association to be held here next
June.
Stresses Realty Value.
Mr.. Nelson said that he felt that
Washington should keep its distinc-
tive features as a national city, Il
city beautiful and as Il shrine to
which the American people could
come.
He sketched the work OF the nation
al association. He pointed taIt that
real estate was better investment
than stocks and bonds by 30 per cent,

lected by the national association.
