APPR RAISAL-MAKING EXPLAINED
TO ~" REAL ESTATE STUDENTS
Normal Market Value and Special Factors
Analysed for Glass by Trust
Company Officer

The underlying factors of compe-
tent appraisals were outlined by Will
liam l.. Beale. in charge of the real
estate department of the American
Security and Trust Co, at the weekly
Y. NJ. G. A. real estate cla"s last Mon
day. In beginning his lecture Mr.
Beale stressed the fact that proper
appraisals are primarily the result
of experience in this field and a proper
study of property values. In His
lecture the speaker said that it is
necessary to understand what is
meant by the word valuation" This.
he said, can be found in a decision
rendered by former United States
Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes.
laid down in the Minnesota note case,
volume 230. L. S. 352.
The normal market value is the
base upon which values are made, to
gether with special values that may
arise and fair market values for par
ticular vicinities. Appraisal at a
market value, he said, was that value
for which the property would be sold
in cash by one who does not have to
sell. The average sale is the best
evidence of value and this sale is con
trolled by the age-old principle OF
supply and demand. Boom and de
probation factors, however, must en-
ter into the study of what the prop
erty previously was purchased at and
what its STABILITY price is now.
Elements i'm Valuation.
The elements entering into the
proper valuation of land are: /. Lo
cation. 2. Utility. 3. Size. 4. Shape Of
lot. In regard to location and acces
| sibility, it was pointed out that ir
| most cities the highest valuations are
| in the downtown business district:
| and districts that are visited by the
most people, and utility chiefly con
| Germs the use of the lot, the desir
ability of the ground in respect tC
special purposes. In dealing with th'
| size, it must be taken into considera
| ton the assembled plottage and th'
| depth and the utility of the size fol
| specific purposes. Zoning regulations
| particularly in the District, also entel
as a large factor in appraisal matters
| The regulations govern height OF
building, amount of land which can b.
| used and the type of building thar
may be placed on the ground. Zonins
must be particularly studied anC
understood in order to have a proper
appraisal arrived at, said the speaker
In order to make a proper valua
ton it was suggested that a MAJ
should be made showing both size Of
the ground square and the foul
corners, together with the depth OF
the lot. The ground and building
values should also be analyzed tC
properly determine the ground values
The speaker declared that many ex
perienced appraisers adopt the unit
system of valuation which was recon-
mended by the National Associatior
Of Real Estate Boards some years
ago. This system calls for the estab
fishing of the value of typical inside
lot to the full depth of the longest
lot and the comparison of this striI
of ground with the remaining long
and short lots. Others, he declared
used the 4 3, ., 1. rule, placing Al
per cent on the first 20 feet, 80 pei
cent on the next 25 feet, 20 per cent

1900 REALTORS ON
BALTIMORE BOARD
Only Two Cities in U. S. Have
Larger Enrolment, According
to Figures Cited.

BALTIMORE, December 1S.-Only
two cities in the United States now
have real estate boards with a larger
number of members than the Balti-
more board, whose total now exceeds
1.500 members.
The outstanding reason attributed
to this extensive support of the local
board by property owners, business
and professional men is the fact that
the board takes a keen and active
interest in all civic problems affecting
the interests of the taxpayers and the
general welfare of the community.
The local board, while one of the
oldest in the United States, is quite
young in the field of activities, which
has brought this extensive support
from citizens not engaged in the real
estate business. 1t was first organ
lied as a real estate brokers' eX-
change in 1858. 1t was reorganiZed
in 1914, with less than 100 members.
In 1918 it's scope of activities was
extended to deal with problems be-
yond the immediate interest of the
real estate brokers, which has re-
suited in a constantly increasing
membership.
Three fourths of the boards present
membership is made up of individuals,
firms and corporations who are not
engaged in any way in the real estate
business

III that the real estate holdings of the
United States of the value of $400,-
10000 and the total holdings of pri-
vate and business interests in the sum
of $1,564 ,3SS,607, show the private
holdings nearly four times that of

diets, but establishes, the fact that

The officer deliberately refused to give the names of his informants and the reason he has refused to do so is because he has no such names, the lawyer declared This is one of the himstest eases of alleged vio- lation of the liquor law ever brought into the police court" Judge Man. gan said.
 Judge Aulng denied the motion for discharge in both cases.
 Judge Mangan called Gehrent to the witness stand and Prosecuting Attorney Woods asked 10 have Off, cer Kumm testify again relative to his information. Judge Mangan said he would not object to anyone but Officer Kumm taking the stand.
 Judge Alling reminded the prose- cutor that the states case was rest cd. Judge Maugau said he would not object 10 anyone but Officer Kumm. He had his chance 10 tell and he wouldn't" Judge Mangan said. What has he done, thought it over and decided 10 get someone clsc7"
 "We1 you better rotract your statements if you won't let the offi- cer testify" the prosecutor said.
 "T will not retract anything l said" the defense counsel rctortcd.
 "I think you are drawing an un- fair inference" Judge Alling said to Judge Mangan.
 "Your honor. I believe that any police officer who admits being out 10 get a man." began Judge Man gan, but Judge Al}ins interrupted him to say Any police officer who is out to get man who is violat- ing the law is doing no more than his duty l want that understood expressly"
 "WoU. I believe that police of foor who goes out of his way to get any particular person is exceeding his duty" Judge ManEan replied.
 Not when that man is violating the law" Judge Alling said.
 That's the question to he de. cided." Judge ManEan insisted,

night for his own use. Judge filling asked him whom he bought it from and Gehrent said he would not dis close the mans name.
 "Yes, you will tell, right now" Judge Alling said. Who did you buy it from"
 'I won't tell" Gehrent replied.
 "All right, I'll attend to you later" Judge Alling said.
 T wish to remind your honor that Officer Kumm also refused to tell names" Judge Mangan said.
 This man is on the witness stand" Judge filling said.
 50 was the officer" Judge Man. gan replied.
 I'm aware of the fact" Judge filling said.
 Sowa, on the witness stand. did not know the number Of the regis tration Of his car and Judge Alling said an important factor in the case is the length of time No, 95l26 has been issued. If if was not issued until approximately one month ago, Officer Kumm must be in error when he said he saw a car with that number on the streets all winter. If, however, the regis tration was issued several months ago, Sowa has perjured himself, Judge filling said.
 Yes, and if it was issued only recently the officer has perjured himself" Judge Mangan said.
 T grant you that,' Judge filling said.
 And I advise Gehrent to make up his mind ytomorrow morning 10 disclose the name of the man he bought the liquor from" said Judge AlIing.
