REALTY DULLNESS
HELD TEMPORARY
Optimistic Report on Situa.
ton Here Is Made at
Convention.
By q stan correspondent Of The Star.


MONTAUK BEACH, Long Island,
June 22.-Recurring waves Of specula-
ton in stocks and the natural result
Of the boom that came with the World
War and lasted for nearly 10 years are
cited as two causes Of "dullness" Of
real estate business in Washington dur
ing the past two years, in q report pre-
Sented today to the District Of Columbia
Bankers Association in convention here.
There is optimism, however, IN the
report, which states that there is q gen.
eral feeling that when this wave of
speculation in stocks has passed, in
vestors again will turn their minds back
to real estate.
The report was submitted by r. p.
H. SiddonS, secretary Of the American
Security & Trust Co. as chairman of
the committee Of the bankers asSocia-
ton on commercial trade activities, on
the finding of a subcommittee on real
estate and building matters composed
OF James II. Baden, vice president of
the Commercial National Bank, chair
nian; John r. Waller, president Of the
international Bank; Samuel M. Thrift,
assistant cashier Of the Franklin Ma
tional Bank, and j. Frank White,
cashier Of the National Bank of WASH
ington.
The real estate committee found that
buyers are scarce at the present time:
that foreclosures have been numerous"
in the past two years and that "a large
number" OF apartment house FORE
closures have resulted from bad
financing"
Real estate has been going through q

but It Is apparent to any one taking
note in riding about the city that a
larger number are now vacant than ut
any time since the World War. Most
Of the vacant houses are the older ones
that lack the modern improvements de-
manded by all classes of renters today.
Old-fashioned houses without electricity
and modern heating plants are to be
found vacant in large numbers In all of
the older sections of the city.
According to reports, sales Of new
houses have improved in recent months
and the over supply Of homes of this
type that has existed for some time
should be absorbed by the normal de-
mand during the present year.
1.-TWO Federal buildings, the Depart
ment of Commerce building, occupying
the entire area between Fourteenth,
Fifteenth, B and Il streets, and the In
ternal Revenue building on B and be-
tween Tenth and Twelfth streets, are
now well under way"

period Of depression two years." says
the report. This Is the natural result
of the boom that came with the World
War and lasted for nearly 10 years
thereafter.
the present time, and those willing 70
buy are looking for bargains. Fore
In the past two years, have attracted
but few buyers, even when properties
have been offered at low prices and on
attractive terms. A large number of
foreclosures have resulted from bad n
nancing Of apartment houses. In the
boom years Immediately following the
war properties Of this type were sold
and traded; second and third mortgages
were loaded on them, requiring larger
amortization payments than they could
stand; vacancies increased, renters be-
could not be met, and foreclosures nat
urally followed. The scarcity Of buyers
of real estate IS blamed by many on
the wave Of speculation in stocks that
has spread all over the country more
and more for the past two years, and
1t Is the general feeling that when this
wave is over investors viii turn their
minds back to real estate again.
In spite Of the dullness Of business
the year ending April 50. 1929, were
active, running into figures totaling
over $50, 000, 900 in value Of new build
ings. which is over $l6,o00.000 more
than the previous year, when the total
was $35,s93,000. This large increase
In value is accounted for principally in
the numerous large apartment houses
constructed during the year.
Apartment House Tendency.
"The tendency Is to build more
apartment houses and fewer individual
homes. In 1922 the building records
of this city show that OF all home
units started, 10 per cent were houses
and 80 per cent apartments, and In
1928 these figures we're exactly re-
verSed, 70 per cent Of new construction

r dwelling purposes having been

for dwelling purposes having been
apartment houses.
During the first four months Of this
year 81 apartment houses were started
comprising 1929 home units. In the
same period $50 individual houses were
started.
IAN interesting survey recently COM
pleted by the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission Of housing
conditions in the District indicates that
the apartment house is rapidly ap-
preaching the rank previously held by
the row house. According to this re-
port, the row houses still accommodate
the majority Of residents, but the num-
Der increased during the years 1920
1927 only Is per cent while the In
crease In the number of people living
In apartments was 12l per cent.
"Of the total population of the Dis
trict on January /, 1927, 81 per cent
were living In row houses, while apart
ment houses Accommodated IL per cent,
which relation, however, is rapidly
changing, and this change appears to
be- going on all over the United States.
According to the statistics of the De-
partment OF Labor, the records Of 257
cities for the years 1921-28 show that
the number Of one-family dwellings de-
creased from So per cent to IS per
cent, while the ratio of multi-fan,ily
dwellings, or apartment houses, has IN
creased from "a per cent to the total
of SO per cent.
"The comparatively owned apart
ment appears to be growing in popu-
larity in Washington and several op-
erations Of this type were successfully
carried on in the past year. One OF
the leading cooperative apartment
building firms in this city reports very
satisfactory business during the past year
and predicts that the comparatively
owned apartment will gradually take
the place of the individually owned
home as people drift into apartment
houses. 1t is reported that SO apart
ment houses in this city. representing q

WARMERS TACTICS
PANTHERS' THREAT
Troians Drilled to Cope With
Formation "B" in New
\ Year Game.
BY PAUL b. ZIMMERMAN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

OS ANGELES, December a.
Formation 3D." that famous
brain child of Coach Glenn
IL Pop" Warner, looms again as
a threat the University of South
ern California TrojanS must deal with
when they clash with the Panthers of
Pittsburgh in the annual Tournament
of Roses game at Pasadena New Year
day.
Will Coach John "Jock" Sutherland
employ the system of two wing half
backs in his offense against the men
of Troy? Coach Howard Jones seems
to think so. for he is printing his de-
tense in anticipation of the formation.
Today he plans more detailed instruc-
ton to his players in the matter of
frustrating the plot of the Golden
Panthers to make consistent yardage by
their power house tactics. Yesterday
the u. S. G. varsity spent more than
2 hours on the basic principles of this
attack.
Christmas will be a holiday in the
Trojan camp-a sort of calm before the
storm of intensive training which will
mark the closing week of preparation
to defend the Western honors in the
annual East-West classic.
Parkinson Is Ram.
With the powerful Pitt line before
him in formation "B" Tom Parkinson,
he battering ram fullback of the Panth-
ers, is expected to do much in the way
Of progressing toward the Southern
California goal, since he probably will
play close to the line of scrimmage.
This leaves Eddie Baker, quarterback,
free for passing, fakes, or what have
you, and permits Octavius Uansa, from
his half position, to run the ends.
The TrojanS' forwards are doing over
time work in anticipation of such a
Pittsburgh attack, especially the tackles
for much of the Panther ground gain
ing this year has been turned in as a
result of smashes through these po-
sitions.
The Southern California staff Is APP
parently satisfied with its own offensive,
for as yet nothing more than short
snappy signal drill has featured work
outs.
