HOMES EXPOSITION
|. TO Be ANNUAL NOW
Encouraged at Success, Real
Estate Men Consider Max
ing Affair Permanent.

Encouraged by the thousands of per-
sons who attended the Better Homes
and Building Exposition conducted by
the Washington Real Estate Board at
the Auditorium and which closes to-
night, the Real Estate Board will en-
deavor henceforth to make this expo
Sition an annual affair.
The success Of the show was made
manifest not only by the great num-
Der Of people who attended, but by
the interest shown by these persons
in the widely divergent exhibits.
The Real Estate Board feels that the
Washington public has demonstrated
ress of building, real estate and better
homes in the National Capital, and It
therefore will establish this exposition
as a visual laboratory, which will serve
to record from year to year the ad-
vancement Of the better homes and
better buildings slogan for the Ma
tion's Capital.
The exposition received great praise
throughout the week for the fine man.
ner of its presentation. Every booth
in the exposition presented something
really informative and a contribution
to the advancement Of better homes.
The board has already planned a
number of improvements and innova-
tions which it hopes it will be able to
make possible in the exposition to be
conducted next year. Learning from
the experience of the past show, the
board is desirous of making the one
next year larger and even more effec-
tive.

N. & &W.LOSESPLEA
T0LEASE V|RGNN|AN
!. c. C. Holds Consolidation
Would Cut Competition.
Public Gain Held Unproven.

The Norfolk and Western Railroad
was denied permission to lease and
consolidate with the Virginian sys-
tenn in decision yesterday by the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
which said the leasing would tend to
reduce competition.
Applications for authority to ac-
Quire control of railroads under the
interstate commerce act must be
supported by a clear and strong
showing Of public gain," the decision
said in its general statement. "If
serious doubt exists regarding the
wisdom of the proposed grouping,
that doubt must be resolved against
the applications.
Real and substantial advantages
Of railroad grouping are capable of
reasonable proof. So are the disad-
vantages. There must be on record
@ substantial preponderance OF ev1-
dence in favor of an application be-
fore we are warranted in giving 1t
favorable consideration"
The policy so declared is expected
to have important bearing upon the
fate of the several projects for linking
up railroads in different parts of the
United States which are now being
worked out in financial and railroad
circles.
The Virginian lease proposal Is the
second large-scale railroad grouping
to be passed upon by the commission,
the first being the Nickel Plate
merger, which also was rejected. In
the Nickel Plate matter, however, the
commission held that the merger Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio, Erie. Pere
Marquette and Hooking Valley sys-
TENS with the Nickel Plate was not
Objectionable from a transportation
viewpoint, though the financial and
intercorporate incident arrangements
were Objectionable.
The decisions on the Norfolk and
Western plan raised no protest
against the financial scheme, and
rested the rejection exclusively upon
the adverse effects which the COM
mission foresaw for railroad users
should the two lines amalgamate.
