members admitted to the Washington
Real Estate Board at any one time dur
ing recent years was announced to-
day by Ben T. Webster, president and
chairman of the executive committee.
At the beginning of each year, 1t was
pointed out, there is always a stimula-
ton in membership growth, but this
years increase has been considered
unusual. This is due, according to Mr..
Webster. primarily to the fact that
there has been a broader recognition
of the services now available to realtors
both from local and national
standpoint. The headquarters office
of the board. in charge of an
executive secretary and clerical staff
maintains a service department where
maps, plats, files and statistics as well
as a real estate library form the back
ground of information pertaining to
real estate practice and law.

ifs limited to duly licensed real estate
brokers maintaining an Office, and all
such members elected must subscribe to
the standard code of ethics adopted

of real estate practice. The associate
