Slate Most Widely
Used Of Building
Materials

Slate, one OF the most widely
used of building materials has
been rather technically defined as
a "microgranular crystalline stone
derived from agrillaeeous sedi-
ments by regional metamorphism
Aside from being burdened with
the above definition it is a ma
teriaI which enjoys a place in
building history all its own and
the old slate roofs, now extant in
England. have been known to
give more than LOO years Of ef-
ficient service.
The oldest slate quarry in
America is in the Peach Bottom
district of Pennsylvania around
Pen Argyll and Bangor. These
towns. widely known among pa
irons OF the industry, are named
after Welsh towns and most of
the skilled slate workers in this
country have come of Welsh
stock.

CAPITAL
IS VOTED BY
BRUMBACK

In order to keep pace with Wash
ington's increased interest in Vir-
ginia real estate and to take care
of the plans for material expansion
of activities during the coming year,
the directors of the Brumback
Realty Company, Of Clarendon,
voted at a recent meeting to in
crease the capital stock of the COM
pany from $4,000 to $250.000.
Established in 1925
The Brumback Realty Company
was established in 1925 and began
operations in Virginia by develop
Ing the Wallis subdivision in Cherry
dale. In a short time the company
undertook the development Of a
part of Lyon Village and up to 1927
the activities of the company were
confined to building and
brokerage.
In 1927 the capital stock was in.
creased from $4,000 to $130.000 to
facilitate constantly enlarging opera
tions and to make possible the ac-
QUESTION and development of Dev-
onshire Gardens.
New Development Planned
So successful have been these de-
velopment activities that the com
pany recently acquired the 230-acrc
Grunwell estate, adjoining the
washington Golf and Country Club.
1t Is planned to make this develop
ment one Of the most outstandirg
communities in nearby Virginia.
Formal opening OF this new de
velopment is planned for the spring
of 1929.
Thirty-four homes totaling 1915,
900 in value have been built by the
Brumback company in the last year

GIVE n
ON ESTATES

In discussing the history and de-
yelopment of real estate laws as
applied to land titles. Charles ii.
Shreve, in an address before the
Y. M. C. A. real estate class, pointed
out the necessity of having some
knowledge of the basic principles of
estates in order to operate a sue
cessful agency.
Classifying the different types of
estates, he said that the usual title
acquired in the purchase of home
was known in law as a fee simple
title'' and is the only absolute title
running perpetually. The estates
for Iife'' title, it was shown, gives
to the holder the right to use and
occupy such property as mentioned
in the deed during their life time.
Anyone holding such a. title has no
right nor power to sell or mortgage
such property or in any way dfrnin.
ish the estate which upon death
automatically goes into the hands
of another.
The third type of estates is desig-
mated as estates for term and
is applied to tenants leasing prop
erty.
While the development of the
title companies has relieved the
real estate broker from the necessity
of having complete knowledge Of
title law. an appreciation of the
fundamental Importance of the prep
aration of deeds conveying real es-
tate will avoid misunderstanding
and costly litigations occassioned hy

must specifically identify the prop
erty being conveyed and name the
party to whom it is to be conveyed.
1t must also be properly signed

with the code of laws in existence
in the jurisdiction in which such

The lease or rental contract used
between landlords and tenants

ditions Of the lease.
