BUILDING BETTER HOMES SOUGHT
FOR DERATE-SALARIED PEOPLE
Home Economics association to Encourage Con.
struction of Dwellings, to Meet Needs of Fami-
lies In and around District.

The Home Economics Association of
the District of Columbia is under
taxing to encourage the building of
better homes for the people in and
around Washington by cooperating
with builders who are building on a
large scale. The association was inter-
ested in making this effort because of
the very Few homes obtainable which
are planned for the convenience and
comfort of the modern family, it states.
Another reason given for building the
particular type of home is that most
OF the new homes that are being con-
structed are either too expensive for
the limited means of the average
lam1ly or else are so cheaply built
that they are not good investment
for one of such limited means.
The association has done consider
able research to find out the average
salary of heads of families employed
in the District. To do this it has
taken figures from the census of 1920
and from the income tax report of
1922, and has discussed the subject
with other Government agencies and
private organizations which would
have a knowledge of the incomes of
the average family in the District.
According to the 1920 census, there
are s6,194 families in the District and
only 72,175 dwellings. These figures
show, the association says, that there
is an excess of families over dwell
ings of rs per cent. The same census
also shows that the average family in
the dwellings consists of AS persons.
42,761 Pay Taxes.

shows that there We're 49, 761 heads of

was S3,600. Subtracting the number
who pay income tax from the total
number in the District leaves 53,433
families making no returns, thus in
dicating that, with the deductions
that are allowed by law, they do not
have an income of $4,000.
From these figures the committee
concluded that the average salary of
employees in the District would range
probably between $4,000 and $4,000

URGES NEW METHOD
|NREALTY MARKET
Change in Measurement of
Business Activities Propos-
ed by Association.

Establishment of new measure
ment of real estate market activity
throughout the United States Is an
nounCed by the National Association
of Real Estate Boards. The new
market index is to be obtained from
the official records of the actual num-
Der of real estate transfers and con-
veyances made each month in Al
typical cities, and has been made pos
sible through the cooperation of
county recorders, members of the
American Title Association and Bah
sons statistical organization with the
research department of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards.
In order to ascertain the normal
rate of real estate activity for each
month in the year for each city re-
porting, the National Association of
Real Estate Boards has analyzed the
official records of all real estate
transfers and conveyances in each
city month by month for the eight
years 1916-1e23 and has used the
average of that period for its index
base.
New barometer Accurate.
Because Of the accuracy with which
the new business barometer will re-
cord the rate of transfer in the cities
selected, 1t is expected that the index
Will be of very great value not only
as a reflection of real estate activity
but by Inference as an indication of
general business conditions in the
sections which these cities represent.
The index figure as ascertained
from the reports will be announced
each month hereafter by the national
association. The records OF the Al
cities as ascertained by the associa-
tion's investigation will be included
in the Survey of Current Business.
issued periodically by the United
States Department of Commerce.
The general curve of real estate
activity, which for the past year has
been decidedly above the normal as
shown by the 1916-l923 records, but
which slanted rapidly downward in
the general business uncertainty of
last Fall is again headed decidedly
upward as the year 1925 gets under
way, the new market measurement
shows. The index for the group of
Al cities for last October was IA. for
December was 1873. and for January,
as just ascertained, was III.
Real estate activity during the
years 1916-l917-191S was slight, due
to the war situation. This situation
is reflected in the dropping of the
curve of activity for the Al cities
studied well below the line of normal
ity, with index figures ranging from
IS to So. the lowest point being
reached in December. 1917.
Soon after the close of the war the
market recovered. 1t reached a peak
of 135 in 1920. after which it fell to
the level of the average in 1921.
A sharp recovery began at the be-
ginning of 1922. which eliminated in
a peak of activity early in 1924. The
index figure for the IL cities in Feb
ruary Of that year reached 1873. The
index figure for the first month of
1925 shows a degree of market ac-
tivity unprecedented. except for the
high point reached in the early
months of 1924. The index for jan
uary, 1924, was lS2.

their annual income, and in some
cases as much as two and half times
their annual income, so that a family
on an income of $4,000 cannot safely
and easily manage the financing of a
home that costs more than $500.
Actual facts in the District of CO.
lumbia, according to the builders and
organizations interested in financing
home building, says the association,
indicate that great many families
are going beyond this standard in OBJ
tanning homes, but there are many
cases where they have done so to
their regret, as some emergency has
made their load very heavy for them
to bear
The committee is assisting in the
planning and demonstration of homes
which keep well within this figure.
