TAX
|. CUTS BUILDING
PROFITS

Sixteen cents of every dollar col
1ected in rent goes to pay taxes,
and &c of every dollar spent in
the operation OF office buildings rep
resents the amount that must be
turned over to taxing bodies. These
startling figures were revealed lin
the annual experience exchange re-
port submitted at the twenty frs
annual convention of the National
Association of Building Owners and
Managers held In st. Louis during
the past week.
''Taxes-the one expense item
which is outside Of the office build
ing ayers control-have In
creased rapidly from year to year. !"
said Graham Adds, chairman of the
association accounting and exchange
committee.
"Taxes increased 4.3 per cent
between 1922 and 1928. The next
wear they increased 10 per cent.
Between 1924 and 1926 taxes went
IN 5.31 per cent and the following
year increased SIT per cent. Last
year another boost of 4.63 per cent
was handed the building owners OF
the nation. The net results OF
these several increases is that taxes
for the year 1927 are just about
twenty.three per cent higher than
they were in 1922. How far and
how long this increase will 80 on
only the voters themselves can
determine"
The report also revealed that there
has been an increase of 2.78 per cent
in the cost of operating buildings
between 1925 and 1927, while there
has been an actual decrease In the
income from rental Of office space.
store rentals. however, have been
somewhat higher during 1927 than
they were In 1926.
The survey of actual operating
costs and income derived from office
buildings in fifty-five of the largest
American cities, is held by building
managers to ne invaluable to them
in using It az the standard OF their
own efficiency and to capitalists,
promoters and investment houses
contemplating new projects.
"The competitive character OF the
office building field. particularly at
this time, and the high cost Of build
ing. demand the most careful scrutiny
of the prospects of any contemplated
new office building said Mr.. Adds.
managers of buildings and those
considering new projects have In the
experience exchange report ready
means of comparison, so that they
may analyze the project on the basis
of established buildings or the ex-
periences of their own buildings on
the basis of what Is actually being
done in the field.

the sale of homes. The backward
spring season delayed the purchase
of many homes. but real estate
activity now has increased.
The popularity of the Petworth
operations of the Cafritz organiza-

facts; first. the splendid location
of the community. and second. the
outstanding value in lifetime homes.
This development Is becoming more
