j. s. WEALTH IS
HALF IN LAND

Approximately 81 per cent OF the
nations wealth OF about $3.50. 000.-
600 900 lies in real estate according
to. a countrywide survey just COM
pleted by Longacre Engineering
and Construction Company
Commenting upon these figures,
Robert Beck, president of the
organization, says: I'm order to get
an accurate idea of present condi-
lions and future possibilities in the
various States, We conducted an
investigation into the relationship
of realty values to other forms OF
material possessions In the d1f'
ferent commonwealths
THE inquiry disclosed the inter-
esting fact that "a per cent OF our
aggregate wealth of $4,000 600 600
$3.50. 200, 900 900, q sum that even
John D. Rockefeller and Henry
Ford together would not scorn.
1.-THE percentage Of realty values
to the wealth of the different States
varies considerably from the low Of
A per cent for Louisiana to the
high of II per cent for South Da-
kota. The ratio in New York, for
example, is Sc per cent as against
40 per cent in New Jersey, 81 per
cent in Florida, IS per cent in Mas
sachusetts and 68 per cent in Iowa.
"Next to real estate, the railroads
and their equipment represent the
highest worth for the nation as a
whole, with manufactures. machin'
ery and tools third. While in the
great majority of States the rail-
road total is far in excess Of the
value given to the manufacturing
properties, there are a few excep-
lions to this rule, notably Massa-
chusetts, New York, Ohio and Penn
sylvania. Only in Iowa and Ne
braska are the automobile totals
larger than those for manufactures.
"The figures emphasize once again
the tremendous foundation of realty
values underlying the wealth OF the
country and also the extent to
which they are interviewer with
the prosperity of the whole public.

MADDUX SEES
RECORD YEAR

Judging from present indications,
1926 should set a record In the sale
of, real estate in Washington and
nearby suburbs declared II. Z.
Maddux, president of Maddux. Mar
shall. Moss and Mallory, yesterday.
There are still q few pessimists
left and they are always ready to
predict dire things. but If the sales
made in the present month, jan
nary, may be taken as criterion,
1926 will be a year long remem-
bered in real estate annals.
Just for example," the Major
continued, 1--WE have sold twelve
lots in Edgemoor during the pres
emit month. Ordinarily we are
pleased with q sale of that many
lots in q development of the class
Of Edgemoor in any month. even
including the spring and summer
months, when buyers naturally turn
toward suburban property.
But starting this year we have
sold twelve lots in Edgemoor in
january. always poor month for
suburban real estate, anc that In
spite of cold weather which we
have experienced here. NotWith-
standing the fact that about a mil
lion square feet OF ground in Edge
moor was sold during the past year.
if sales should increase in proper
ton as they did last year, COM
pared to January, 1926, we would
break last years record and not,
have enough land to satisfy the
demand.
washington is growing. Other
sections with only a small percent
age Of the advantages Of the Capt.
tai have had and are still having
so-calIed booms. do not look for
a boom in Washington, but do
anticipate a steady growth in rela
estate values, based on sound
economics, that makes Washington
real estate, in my opinion, the best
buy in America today Other capi-
tails have large populations and
there is no reason on earth to
believe that Washington, capital Of
the greatest nation on earth, should
not have q population Of million
or more.
II confidently expect to see the
time when this whole section, in
c1uding nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia, will be built up solidly, with
Washington taking its rightful place
as one Of the really great cities, as
well as the greatest capital on
EARTH
