CHEAPER AUTOS
HELP. REALT Y

Reduction in the price of trans
portation means an increase in the
area of Washington and all other
major cities, officials of Maddux,
Marshall, Moss and Mallory declared
: yesterday, commenting on recent
reductions announced by leading
motor car companies.
1.-THE automobile manufacturers
are doing great work. for all the
cities by reducing prices, said
Maj. III. G. Maddux, president OF
the firm. Anything that tends to
put cheap transportation in reach
Of the people tends to increase the
area of land around q city which
can be successfully built up. This
means an increased number of mod.
crate priced homes within the reach
Of the general worker and conse-
quent attraction OF more people To
the area governed by the city and
ness section Of that city.
1T goes even further than that.
IL makes for a more contented race
Of Americans, for the man who
owns his own home is always more
contented than the man who feels
that the money he pays out each
month for rent is going to increase
the wealth of somebody else.
For the past several years there
has been a constant trend of the
more wealthy class to the suburbs.
The automobile made 1t possible for
them to live amid practically sylvan
surroundings, while at the same
time enjoying all the benefits of
city life. This has served to build
up such places as Edgemoor, Bat
terry Park, West Chevy Chase and
similar suburbs in-pther cities.
Further reductions in the price
Of the automobile such as have
been announced recently mean that
more people can afford this means
OF individual transportation, and
consequently more people can ar
range to live outside the high
priced center of the city and yet
enjoy all the benefits Of such city
life as they demand"

In Florida where the demand
has been steadily increased by the
influx OF people attracted by the
real estate boom, many cities are
experiencing temporary building

growing owing to the interruption
to building due to the embargo on
building materials. This is especial

Reports from more Jnan seventy
cities and districts of the United
States revealed that conditions in
the building industry were fairly
well stabilized and that the situa-
ton Of supply and demand would
undoubtedly prevent any material
slump in construction for some
months.
Big Cities Covered
The survey, which covered practi-

made with the cooperation of rep
resentatives of the Associated Cen

F'ifty-two cities and five districts
reported definitely the possibility OF

Forty-three cities and five dis
tricts expect building to be near or

Eight cities predicted new high
building record during next twelve
months.
Thirteen cities and two districts
reported definitely the possibility Of
slump in construction.
Thirty-one cities temporarily caught
up with apartment house and home
building requirements.
Twenty-Five cities reported import
