ing densely wooded tracts IN the

designed for horse-drawn vehicles,
were still in good condition. He
asked the real estate board to

DEEDS MORE
IN DEMAND

Restriction and its corresponding
protection are apparently more and
more he demand of the purchaser Of
subdivision lots, according to sta
tistics on "a subdivisions compiled
and published by the Institute for
Research in Land Economies and
Public Utilities.
The man who buys a subdivision
lot today il careful to see that the
deed to 1t limits him as to just what
he can build thereon in order that
he may be spared shack, factory
garage used as residence, or some
other inappropriate building on the
lot adjoining his property. He IL
also anxious to find out what the
color and race of his next-door
neighbor may be.
Popular Form Of Deed
OF the "a developments studied
40 include in their deed restrictions
restraints as to alienation and oc
cupany, and 3s Of these 40 are re
cent developments, Thirty-three OF
these restraints are upon both
alienation and occupancy; four are
upon alienation alone, and three are
upon occupancy alone.
According to the tables in this
compilation, which constitutes one
of series of subdivision research
monographs now in preparation,
which will be published by the In.
stitute, the most common period
Of duration Of restrictions is for 20
years, although in the most recent
development the duration period
tends to cluster about the 33-year
mark, on the theory that a man
buys his homestead when starting
his career. and that a 33.year re-
striction will keep his property de-
sirable as a home for him during
the most active years of his life.
There Is one example of a develop.
ment In which the restrictions are
imposed for a period of 101 years,
and two other single instances OF
63 and 40 year restriction periods.
The shortest duration for restric.
tions is the 10-year period.
The most important of the re-
strictions pertaining to the type
and use of structures is that which
Nearly so per cent of the develop
ments studied contain such clauses
in their deeds. This type of re-
striction, as are the ones on aliena-
ton and occupancy, Is a new de-
vice whose use is increasing. Set
back provisions for the buildings
are almost invariably among the
deed restrictions.
Groups Protect Clause
Enforcement OF restrictions is
usually accomplished through prop
erty owners associations. The usual
method of restraining vfolators Of
restrictions is through the serving
of injunction.
According to the National Associa-
ton Of Real Estate Boards, the data
contained in the tabulation and anal.
ysis of the "a subdivision develop
ments Is of considerable interest
to realtors, since it gives in concise
form the latest developments in
this branch of real estate practice.
1t is likewise of interest to attor.
neys because of the specific ex-
amples of court action given to
show to what extent the legality of
the deed restrictions will hold.
In summarizing the attitude Of
the courts toward deed restrictions
the monograph states: " =" Deed
restrictions. if carefully drawn, are
a potent form of control. The
courts will uphold them and
persons seeking to protect their
investments in land may with some
confidence resort to this Device"

EMPLOYMENT SEEN
AS 0. K. IN CAPITAL
Labor Department Holds no
Difficulty Offered in
Situation Here.

With industrial establishments in
Washington reporting satisfactory
schedules and practically no change in
volume of employment, the employment
situation in Washington was viewed
today by the Labor Department as offer
ing no difficulty.
A surplus of clerical help apparent
last month was said to be largely due
to many college students seeking part
time employment as Office workers.
There was a good demand for compe-
tent domestic help, with no shortage
reported, although completion OF sew
eral major street construction projects
relea sed a number of men.
In the building trades, however, a sur
plus of skilled and unskilled building
laborers was apparent at the close OF
November, even though there was a
large volume of building under way in
the Capital. Department stores in
creased their forces in anticipation OF
the holiday trade.
Seasonal curtailment of building in
Baltimore has increased the surplus
of labor, although all plants were IN
operation at the close of last month,
with their usual forces employed in most
instances. Elsewhere in, nearby Mary
land the labor situation was fairly well
balanced.
Virginia reported a satisfactory en-
ployment situation, wi h some improve
ment noted in textile hills, where part
time operating schedules have been in
effect in some instances.
