REALTY BOARD
To MEET

The next meeting Of the Wash
ington Real Estate Board has been
set for Tuesday, November is, at
S:15 p. m. This meeting, it is ex.
pected, will be a highly interesting
one, devoted to facts and informa-
ton in reference to the business
situation Of the National Capital at
that time.
Rufus S. Lusk. of the operative
builders, will be one Of the speakers
and it is expected that he will
present some valuable information
which will be of great use to the
members of the board. Other
speakers now are being lined up
and every effort will be made to
arrange a program that will enable
the members of the board to gather
a great amount of data which will
assist them materially in shaping
the policies of their business.
It is hoped that the result Of
this meeting will place the men,
bers in a position to go about
their coming business and plans
with a greater judgment Of what
to expect and a better all-around
knowledge of conditions.
1t is the boards purpose at this
meeting to give every opportunity
for a full insight into the situation
in Washington so that the con-
tinued prosperity, development and
advancement for the National Capt.
tai may continue on the upward
trend which has so consistently
marked it's history.

VOTE INCREASE
IN CAPITAL

With recent sales totaling more
than $780, 900 to its credit, the Brum.
back Realty company Inc, formerly
Of Cherrydale, Va, has found its
desirable to materially increase its
operating capital and personnel, in
order to undertake new and larger
operations in realty in Arlington
and Fairfax counties.
At recent melting of stockhold-
ers held at the Washington Golf
and Country Club, it was voted to
increase the capital of the corpo.
ration from $4,000 to $3.50, 900. and
the following officers and directors
were elected for the ensuing year:
K. A. Brumback, president; William
s. Hoge, jr.. vice president; DR..
r. N. Sutton, treasurer; Fred A.
Goswell, secretary; Clarence r
Ahalt and w. r. Rose, directors.
The Cherrydale office of the cor
poration is being moved to the
Jones building, 81 Wilson Blvd,
Clarendon, Va. The Lyon Village
office, 101 Virginia Ave-, will be
retained, as this firm of realtors is
new developing section of Lyon
Village with the largest group of
Spanish-type bungalows to be found
around Washington. The corpora
ton contemplates opening a Wash
ington office in the near future.

BAD PRACTICE
GIVEN BLOW

A case of what is called "bad
practice" is reported to the Ameri'
can Institute of Architects by Abram
Garfield, of Cleveland, chairman Of
the institutes committee of prac-
tice. Mr.. Garfield's report, which
concerns the activities of a firm of
architects not members Of the in
stitute, says:
This firm is incorporated and,
having received "a large commission,
Is in need Of money.
ut has written to a number of
contracting organizations offering
share Of stock in this corporation
valued at 500 with the statement
that the money will be returned
within year with interest at the
rate of 6 per cent.
1T also holds out the promise that
any contractor who joins the cor
poration will receive copies of all
plans that are put out from its
office.
This Is merely a method of
borrowing money without collateral.
If the firm of architects needs
money it should go to the bank, and
If it is able to raise money in that
way the last persons from whom it
should borrow are the contractors
with whom it is likely to deal.
"The contractor who loans It
money has no security except the
statement that the money will be
returned and the promise that he
will receive plans that are made in
the office. This is not a valuable
security.
1.-THE architect, on the other hand,
has formed a partnership with those
whom he is introducing to his client
so that his advice to the client is
affected by their relation.
at hardly seems necessary to
make a further analysis Of such
situation because it is so obviously
bad practice"

Moral Tone Governs
Real Estate Values

The morals Of community have
a definite and material effect on
real estate values. Let the general
moral tone of a neighborhood drop,
and invariably there is a subsequent
depreciation of property values. The
landlord subconsciously reverts to
this principle when he inquiries not
only as to the prospective tenants
ability to pay rent. but also as to
his character and reputation.
We have seen several striking ex-
amples Of this in New York city,
when an old residential neighbor.
hood of conservative people, where
values are established and normal,
becomes the site of a night club
whose reputation is not exactly
savory and which caters to a law.
less patronage. The mere installa-
ton of the equipment of a jazz
palace, such as band and possibly
bar, points the finger Of disrepute
at the section. If there are a num-
Der of such establishments within
a small area. the proprietors will
profit at the expense Of every
nearby property owner.
1t is the common sense thing for
every property owner in the city
to unite with the police authorities
in their gorgeous campaign against
crime, not merely because of the
fear of robbery, but with the realiza-
ton that every crime prevented by
alert police supervision will have a
beneficial effect, however slight, on
property values.
The Washington times., 1927-11-05

more perfect example Of a
thoroughly protected residential
community than that section of
Washington known as Woodley
Park. Here you have all of the
safeguards that could be desired for
maintaining property values and
sustaining it's reputation as a
beautiful residential park.
On the north of Woodley Park
are two fine estates, Twin Oaks
and the Parmelee place; to the
west Is English Village, another
fine home community built by the
Wardman Construction Company.
and the National Cathedral: on the
southern boundW are the Woodley
and Phipps estates; and on the east
it is bordered by one of the most
magnificent natural parks in
America, Rock Creek.
This section has never been used
for anything but a choice location
for beautiful homes and since 1890
it has sheltered in it's natural
beauty the homes of some of
Washington's most famous resi-.
dents. With a record Of this kind,
extending over a period of 1877
years, added to it's other adj
vantages it is safe to say that in
Woodley Park one may find the
ultimate in the protection of
property values and the security
of an exclusive residential com.
munity.

Boards Asked to Act
On u. S. Flood Control

AS Congress is about tc assemble,
officers Of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards call attention
of member boards Of the association
to the stand taken by the associa.
ton at its annual convention held
in Seattle in August on the need Of
Federal action on flood control.
This is the time. they point out,
when real estate boards, by calling
the attention of their Congressman
to the need of Federal action, can be
of service to member boards in Sec
tons affected by the flood menace.
The New Orleans Real Estate
Board calls attention to the fact that
levees are broken in many places.

BUYERS MARKET
SEEN HERE NOW
By JACOB SHAPIRO,
President the Joseph Shapiro COmpau

J President the Joseph Shapiro Company
The present real estate market az
lords the home buyer the greatest
opportunity for home investment
ever offered for the past 10 years in
Washington. This applies to both
real values and unequaled terms.
With the curtailment OF home
building in the National Capital, it
will be but a short period of time
until the small surplus of new homes
Is entirely exhausted, and with the
reaction toward limited building pro.
grams among Washington builders,
and the fact that the Government
building program will create deficit
OF both skilled and unskilled work.
men in the city. building costs are
certain to be much higher when the
present supply Of new homes have
been sold and the demand for new
homes again creates an active
market.
SHOULD BUY NOW
For this reason the wise home
seeker will buy his homo at the
present time, when he has a wide
variety Of new homes to pick from
and can obtain prices and terms
heretofore unobtainable.
While the homes built by our
organization have had a remark
ably rapid sale during the past six
months, am looking for a much
Increased demand during the next
few months, and have laid my plans
accordingly. Every possible detail
looking toward more beautiful archl.
tectural ideas, more and better In
terror features, and closely studied
plans for cost cutting, with result
ing lower prices and more favorable
terms, have had my personal atten.
ton, with the result that we are
offering today the best homes we
have ever built in the history of our
organization at greatly reduced
prices and terms.
At the same time these homes
contain more special features than
we have heretofore incorporated into
moderate priced homes. One will
find pedestal lavatories in the
bathrooms of our newest low-priced
hoInes9 together with built.in fix
lures, tubs and showers.
REAL FIREPLACES
Real fireplaces are another item
very seldom found in low-priced
homes because of the extra expense
entailed in the building of special
brick chimneys and flues from the
ground up, and yet this feature will
be found in all Of our newest de.
signed homes at no additional cost
to the purchaser. There are many
such features that / might mention
which have heretofore only been
found in high.priced homes that
will be found in our lowest-priced
homes because Of the fact that we
have been able to take advantage
of all of the latest ideas in mass
production and quantity discount
purchases with the same resultant
savings and added features at lower
prices that automobile manufactur-
ers are able to show in the build
ing and sale Of their product.

The Washington times., 1927-11-05

These changes, whatever their
causes, have resulted in decreasing
property values and have been
placed on record as "bad invest.
ments" from the standpoint of the
original owners. No doubt at the
time such areas were being developed
for residences it seemed that protec-
ton against cheapening encroach-
ments was reasonably certain. The
developers probably could not forsee
the circumstances that were to re-
duce rather than increase their in
vestments.
Home buyers always have given
serious thought to the protection
surrounding the section in which
they were considering the purchase
of a house. 1t is natural that
man should want to feel that his in
vestment in a home would be secure
in intrinsic value and that the
neighborhood would always remain
very desirable place in which to
live.
When we find old homes Of obvious
gentiIity surrounded with all of the
repugnant elements of disintigrated
section, we may assume that the
original purchasers believed that the
neighborhood was protected but that
the alleged protection was not strong
enough to sustain property values.
In contrast to the horrible ex-
amples" to be found. there are, Of
course, the residential sections that
have remained elegant through the
years. Areas of this kind, almost
without exception, have been up
held by natural features as we'll as
the restrictions Of city ordinances.

Architects Services In
Construction Invaluable

Disturbed by statements to the
effect that the services of an archi.
tect are not necessary in the erec-
ton of homes and for even larger
structures, several architects wrote
H. Haugan, vice president Of the
State Bank Of Chicago, requesting
his opinion. Mr.. Haugan's reply
was as follows:
First: We consider the architects
fee a portion Of the cost of the
building. Second: We certainly do
consider the services of an architect

integrity are Invaluable.

SMALL HOMES
LEAD VALUES

Single family dwellings head the
fist, both from the standpoint Of
volume total floor area and value
Tin dollars): and the rate of build.
ing per inhbitant Is considerably
larger in the small cities than it
80 in the large, is the statement
made in the "Monthly Labor Re.
view" for May, 1927. Of the Bureau Of
Statistics Of the U. S. Department
OF Labor. The following is a res lit
Of a study OF building permits in
294 cities during 1925:
The highest rate Of building per
anhabitant in the United States
was in a city Of 2s,70O people and
the first five cities in per capita
building are all below $4,000 in pop
ulation, These six cities show the
following amounts Of money per
inhabitant spent for building during
1926:
Amt. Per
Pop. Inhab'nt
White Plains, N. Y..2s,7OO $493.1O
st. Petersburg, Fla. $1,000 S79.S1
Paducah. KY. ......26, 100 S52.O5
Evanston, Ill. ......45,1OO S5O.9O
Asheville, N. C. $4,000 29O.57
One explanation Of the high rate
of building in the smaller cities Is
the great number Of small places
surrounding the big metropolitan
cities which are within committing
distance and which participate in
the social and Industrial activities
of the larger centers which they
surround. Many Of these small
cities and villages contain great in
dustrial enterprises, as the tendency
has been for manufacturers to take
their plants out of the more con-
gested areas where valuations are
exceedingly high.
In the territories Immediately
surrounding New York and Chi
caRo, there are SO cities and viii
lagos in what are commonly re-
garded as committing zones; that is,
within an hour or less by train
from the central business districts
Of New York and Chicago.
X. There are 210 Of these small
cities and villages surrounding
Philadelphia; 1876 of them around
Pittsburgh; 1913 surrounding Bos-
ton; IS surrounding Los Angeles;
so around San Francisco; AZ
around Cincinnati: IS around De.
troit; 70 surrounding Buffalo and
many hundreds around our other
large cities.
Only a very small percentage Of
these are represented by building
reports or building permit totals.
Just the small cities and villages
enumerated in the preceding para.
graph number 1874. Surely a very
large sum must be added to repre-.
sent the annual value of building in
all the small cities and villages of
the United States.

Ex-Secret Service Man
Held in Counterfeit Plot

NEW ORLEANS. May 6. - New
York was selected as base of dis
tribution for the work OF an interna-
tional band OF counterfeiters whose
plates and printed money were to be
made in Mexico under the direction
of William ]. Edick, former Secret
Service man. who is alleged to have
deserted his post of duty here last
summer.
In a confession to Government Off
Gals Edick has declared that he tried
to make atonement for his derelic-
tions by winning to the inner circle
Of the international organization in
order to betray the criminals to the
Secret Service. This was generally
understood today to be the prospec.
tive high light of Edick's probable
testimony il he is placed on the
witness stand in the case of Harry
Edgar White. who is to 20 to trial
