SUBURBAN AREAS
SHOWING GROWTH
Survey of Five Typical American
Cities Develops Important Fea-
ture Of Home Ownership.

The suburban areas of five typical
American cities, selected at random, are
growing faster than the cities they adj
join, and this is a good omen for home
ownership, says the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards in its weekly
story for the public The suburban areas
Of IA other smaller towns also are in
creasing faster than the adjacent cities,
saws the association.
"Pessimists who declare that home
life is declining in this kitchenette-
delicateSsen age should glance over the
figures that show population growth far
from the city'S roar, for apartment
houses are still rare occurrences in such
areas" says the real estate association.
And. although there are no figures at
hand to show how many of our new
suburban homes are rented and how
many owned by their occupants, there
is sufficient evidence that the desire to
become home owners has driven enough
Of these new suburban jewellers out to
the country to make another good case
for home owning in America
The cities whose suburban areas are
growing more rapidly than their metro
politan districts are Chicago, st. Louis,
Atlanta, Buffalo and Albany, N. Y.

REALTOR DIVISIONS
SELECT OFFICERS
KoIb Heads Broker Unit, King
Mortgage, and Goss Prop
erty Management.

At combined meeting of the three
major divisions of the Washington Real
Estate Board this week, chairmen and
vice chairmen were elected to serve
during the coming year as follows: Bro
kers Division-J. Leo Kolb, chairman;
j. G. Weldon, jr., vice chairman. Mort
gage and Finance Division-William l..
King, chairman; Fred T. Neshit, vice
chairman. Property Management d.
vision-Earl E. Goss, chairman; David
e. Barry, vice chairman.
These specialized divisions, created
In the realtors organization last year,
are composed solely Of the active men,
bership of the board and function as
the board in all matters pertaining to
their respective fields of real estate
practice. AS all active members Of the
board are automatically members of
each division, the result of this form of
organization is, in effect, three separate
groups functioning as individual bodies
whose acts are subject only to the ap-
proval of the executive committee of
the whole board.
Among the boards membership there
are included realtor Offices which spe-
cialize almost exclusively in mortgage
financing; others devote their major at
tention to property management; still
others whose special type of activity is
general brokerage and some of the
larger Offices embrace all three branches
of the real estate business. Realizing
the special and individual problems con-
fronting these different branches Of the
real estate business, as well as the need
for development of special technical
services and general policies, the men,
bers amended the bylaws of the board
last year in order to concentrate spe-
cialized groups in attempting to accom-
plish the maximum results in the
boards administration.
At the meeting this week. Alfred H
Lawson, president of the board, sub
mitted tentative program of policies
and activities the newly elected execu-
tive committee expected to push to con-
cluSion during the coming year.
A special luncheon meeting of the
newly elected executives will be held
with the president of the board on Mon
day to lay plans for the creation of di-
visional committees to undertake a
broad program of activities during the
coming month.

HOMES HERE RATED
ON BETTER PLANE
High Type of Residents Is
Held Cause for Higher
Scale of Houses.

Houses erected in Washington by
operative builders are constructed on q
higher plane than comparable dwellings
In any city Of the country, Waverly
Taylor, president of Waverly Taylor
Inc, declared this week in an address
before the real estate forum at the
Y. NJ. G. A.
Explaining that homes in Washington
probably would show somewhat higher
per cubic foot cost than in some other
cities, Mr.. Taylor said that aside from
certain economic conditions, such as
proximity to sources Of raw material
supplies and variances in wages and
labor Washington home buyers de-
n1anded more in home construction
and appointments than almost any other
city in the country.
No Industrial Glass.
"The population of Washington" said
Mr.. Taylor, has practically no so-called
industrial class, and is made UP largely
of Government employees, professional
men and women, scientists, specialists,
high officials and others generally of a
more cultured and educated class than
most cities. A larger per capita wealth
Is enjoyed by Washington. These phases
OF Washington'S population largely &C.
count for the demand for the best in
homes. Homes in Washington are actu-
ally semi-furnished by the inclusion of
conveniences, equipment and appoint
ments designed to beautify, reduce
household labor and provide the maxi
mum of pleasure and comfort"
Describing the building business, Mr..
Taylor said: I'm Washington. next to
the business Of the Government, the
building industry is the largest single
business, and represents the largest an
nual investment of capital, averaging
for construction alone $46,000,000 per
year for the past 10 years.
The modern operative builder must
have an organization qualified and
equipped to handle the purchase of land
the financing of such purchase and the
actual financing of the entire develop
ment through to its completion, as well
as technical skill and complete knowl-
edge of the building business, and finally
the ability to market successfully the
homes when constructed.
Builders Must Know.
THE successful builder must know
what to build and where to build, and
especially he must keep in touch with
the development of architectural styles
In this connection he considers the
tendencies of operative builders to ac-
quire large tracts in the suburban or
rural areas where natural beauty and
contour Of the land can be preserved.
This tendency gives the operative build
er an opportunity to plan his develop
ment with a vision of the future and
to build a complete section harmonic
Gus, symmetrical and of distinct indi-
viduality."
At the next meeting of the forum the
subject ofereal estate appraising will be
discussed by William j. Father, jr., for
many years chairman of the appraisal
committee Of the Washington Real Es-
tate Board.

1.-THE conference brought out the fact
that the President has in mind the
stimulation of construction generally,
IN apartments, ONCE buildings and
homes, as well as In industrial construc.
ton, road building, municipal improve
ments and State buildings.
Look to Constructive Needs.
"The whole country is looking into
its constructive building needs In a new
way as a result of the conferences"
Mr. Culver continued, and is coming te
see what substantial ground there Il
Tor well planned, intelligent expansion
and replacement to give business and
industry its most efficient setting. There
is in addition real growth of public
taste toward efficient and modern
homes as instruments for happier and
more efficient human living.
we feel the substantial ground un.
der our feet in relation to our whole
business and industrial situation"
The Presidents conference was large.
~ for the purpose of obtaining in.
formation regarding the situation In
different segments of business in the
f1eld Of real estate and construction.
Since the various branches of the con.
struction industry are primarily service
organizations in character, the confer.
ence was chiefly for the purpose OF
determining the actual situation upon
which sound construction must proceed,
and to arrange for the industry's CO.
operation in undertaking the varioUn
projects which 1t Is intended to launch
as part of the Presidents program.
Demand for Small Homes.
It was stated at the conference BY
officials who have been making a sur.
vey of the residential building situation
that construction of this character fol
the first 10 months of 1929 was about
$7l0,000,000 below the figures for resi-
Dental building for 1928. Reports
coming to the National Association OF
Real Estate Boards indicate that the
strongest demand in the real estau
held for the coming year will be in the
field OF the small and inexpensive sin.
gle family residence. Mr.. Culver said
"An indications point toward AIDE.
quacy of funds for building" Mr.
Culver declared. Financial institutions
throughout the country are in sound
condition: the recent stock market
slump will be a factor In bringing 1880
money into business investment chan.
nels; we may be assured that income

of this room onto a flagstone terrace,
which overlooks an inclosed garden at
the rear of the house. This garden
has a rustic stone fountain and re-
hecting pool.

of the second story has French doors
opening onto balcony of wood, where
chairs may be placed.
