A new insurance code for the Dis.
trict of Columbia is certain to be
enacted by the next session of Con-
gress.
The forthcoming report on fire
underwriting by the Bureau of Eff
cheney. already on the desk Of Dis
trict Commissioners Taliaferro, but
not made public, contains material
which will give the required impetus
to the legislation.
Opposition of the foreign group"

past three years.
With the Bureau of Efficiency re-

quate measure can be enacted this
winter.
The District Commissioners have
revised the original bill presented by

resubmit 1t to the Senate District
Committee, in accordance with Sem

Hearings, upon the legislation
probably will start in December.

Attention To Color Gives
increasingly Beautiful City
Buildings and Homes Take Reckoning OF Sunlight As Color
Effects Adapt Themselves To Local Density
of Atmosphere

Increasingly beautiful American
cities are forseen, as a result of the
greater attention given by archi-
tects to the effects of local atmos-
pheric conditions ON sunlight and
color. A material which may look
well enough in one city may be q
drab failure in another, solely be-
cause of the most imperceptlble
difference in the quality of the
sunlight. This, is not necessarily
caused by such obvious factors as
smoke, or dust. 1t may result from
the far more subtle conditions of
atmospheric moisture, or density,
changing the spectral composition
of the light.
These conditions, however, need
no longer hamper the property
owner or architect. Building mater
ials today, such as the modern de-
yelopments In terra Gotta or tile.
offer color range ample wide, ana
with sufficiently Delicate distinct
ions &C shade to satisfy any needs.
1t is simply up to the designers to
choose wisely and as a general
rule. he is doing so today.
He must know that 'scolor," as
we see it, is reflected light. Ger
tain pigments absorb certain por-
lions of the light which falls upon
them and reflect other portions.
No material can appear to have a
color which is not part of the
light in which it is Viewed. AS the
light changes in quality, the color
of the material seems to change.
Sunlight, passing through the ar
is affected in important ways.
Thick, heavy atmosphere, filters
some of the color out of the light.
In rare air, where the light is
brilliant. all objects partake of its
brightness; color is intensified. In
the Southwest, in parts of Texas,
for instance, or oklahoma or Kan.
sas. on a clear day, there is a
brilliance to the drabbest building.
In a denser atmosphere. the same
structure would have an entirely
different appearance.

Higher Real
Estate Values
Next Year Likely To Sec New
Cycle Of Expansion is
Prediction
EASY MONEY is
INCUBATING A BOOM

That the present period of easy
money" must eventually result in
higher real estate values, with a
probability that next year will see
the beginning of new cycle of ex-
pansion, is the opinion Of w. Burke
Harmon, who points, out that money
loaned on mortgages has definite
relationship to the prices of which
real estate is sold.
"The average man does not real
ize," said Mr.. Harmon, that the
value of the house he lives in is es
tablished only when a leading insti-
tuition appraises the building for
mortgage purposes. This lending in
stitution, be it saving bank, mort
gage company, trust company or CO
operative bank, is willing to lend on
mortgage from so to 80 per cent
of the property's estimated market
value.
During periods of easy money,
such as at present, banks desire to
make loans as large as is compati-
BILE with safety and a conservative
banking policy.
"The natural result is that in a
period when lenders are anxious to
find good borrowers they usually
will be a little more generous in
their appraisals than when money
is scarcer. This tendency to make
larger loans inevitably results in a
higher sales value for the property
when it finally changes hands. And
this development is in operation
now, at a time when the real es-
tate market has lost some of its
hectic activity and good borrowers
are not numerous enough TO en-
ploy all the funds which banks have
available for real estate invest
ment.
ut is at times such as this, of
course, that wise investors sense
such trend and buy property to
hold until it may be sold on the
basis of the higher appraisal values.
There always are "lulls' between
large buying movements. Next
year ought to see the beginning of
another such movement after the
decline in speculation during 1927.
For, meanwhile, the trend to larger
appraisal values will have become
self-evident and talk about a new
boom will come to the ears OF the
man in the street,

Higgate Home
Is Notable
Addition
One Of The Most Representa-

The State
RAPID PROGRESS
IN CONSTRUCTION
Faces Bay Drive and Occupies
Site 100 by 1G2 Feet -
Grounds Will Be a Feature

Among the new homes in West
Atlantic City upon which rapid
construction is being made is that
OF Charles II. Higgate on Bay
Drive not far from the home of
Benjamin r. Fox.
The home of Mr. Higgate is
impressing all who visit West
Atlantic City and who pass through
it, as one of the most represent
alive of the new homes in this
section of the state.
1t is of brick and stucco con-
struction and has Spanish mission
tiles roof 1t is two and one-half
stories in height The first floor is
devoted to living room, dining
room, reception hall and kitchen.
The second floor contains four bed
rooms, two baths and open deck.
There is three car detached
garage.
The house occupies site 100 by
102 feet. Not only is the house
most pleasing in its exterior lines,
but the spaciousness of the site
will afford the opportunity for at
tractive lawns and shrubbery in
which Mr.. and Mrs. Higgate and
the members of their family
delight. The grounds OF their pres
ent home in Frankfort Court is
indicative of what may be the
setting of their new home on Bay
Drive.
The house is nearly finished and
is a distinct addition to West
Atlantic City. A. l. Brooks is the
architect and P. G.. Hannum the
builder.
