Of ground could be developed to its
highest and best use BY placing on
il a building eighty stories high, and
the loaning company reported that
il was willing to finance such a
building.
In developing income producing
property il Is necessary to study the
surrounding real estate market from
the point Of view Of the probable
demand for certain kinds Of struc-
lures. In the above illustration,
there was at the time the project
was under consideration no question
but that an office building would
prosper in the Grand Central dis
trict Of New York City because Of
the heavy demand for office space
in that area.
Should Study Sites
This problem is not always SO
simple. The property owner contem-
plating the construction Of a thea
ter. for instance, on a piece of down
town real estate should first ascer-
tain what chances the theater or no.
tel would have to prosper. IL other
theaters in the district are doing
badly and have many empty seats,
another theater is not likely to re-
turn to its owners. And yet the fact
that other houses are doing we'll
does not always can that a city or
district can support another thester.
Perhaps the supply is adequate.
These factors must be studied care
fully.
II the structure on a piece of land
is not for its highest and best use.
IL may stand as a physical obstruc-
ton in the way Of attaining the best
possible revenues for a number Of
years. For example. in an eastern
city an obsolete building on . prom
inent downtown business location
had stood vacant for the most part
Of many years The changing char
acter of the ne~ighborhood had made
this structure a physical obstruction
on this site and the building. there
fore. did not represent the highest
and best use Of the land.
A man who understood the prin-
clples of the proper use of the land
bought this property for q sum be-
tween eight hundred and nine hun
dred Thousand dollars. He built il
on a structure that met the require
ments Of the area in It's present
state.
Proper Use PAYS
This structure cost him between
seven hundred and seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars: and the
completed property was appraised a
short time later for considerably
over two million dollars.
In this instance an immediate in
crement m value Of between three
hundred and fifty to five hundred
thousand dollars was actually meas
urable as being due to the fact that
the property had been developed to
. use suited accurately to les loca-
ton.
II the proper use Of ground did
not vary with different sites, our ur-
ban centers would contain monoto-
nous areas Of buildings Of similar
height. Our great cities owe the ir-
regularity of their skylines to the
fact that the owners Of real estate
have studied the principles Of the
highest and best use of the land and
IN the diversity Of building height
resulting unconsciously have schiev-
ed the beauty of lines that foreign
visitors so greatly admire.

CHEAP
ON EXCHANGE
Great Differe In
Price at New York
And in London

LONDON, Nov. 2s.-tPp-The sale
of a seat on the New York Stock Ex-
change for $4,000 is in striking
contras. with conditions here.
The latest price for q seat on the
London Stock Exchange was only So
500. Even adding 10 this the $4,000
entrance fee and $500 annual sub
scription as well rs the purchase Of
three $1,000 shares Of stock, which
yield dividends, the sum total Is
small compared 10 the New York
figure.
The reason given is that there are
more than enough stockholders car
rying on business in London. The
number is S,9i3. compared with the
LOO members Of the New York ex-
change. and the transactions on the
New York mart considerably sur
pass those here.
England's financial writers say
her stockholders do not make the
fortunes usually ascribed to them.
From $500 to $4,000 is the income
given for half the members Of the
exchange in ordinary times, and
many are said 10 make less, with
the government waiting TO carve a
huge slice for income tax.
In boom times, such as those Of
the last six months. incomes pile UP.
and then the less pr~etentious mem.
hers Of the London Stock Exchangs
put away something for the barren
years.
Because Of the added popularity
az buying and selling stocks In re-
cent years, il is believed in London
that. unless there is considerable
liberalization ~ the conditions Of
membership. the cost Of a seat on
tho exchange will never again fall
below $4,000.
