ment Of blighted districts, those vast
areas Of abandoned or transformed resi-
dences lying between the principal BUSH
ness center and the more modern
suburbs"
The speaker described the enormous
increases In property values that have
occurred in cities that have included
abolition of such districts In q carefully
worked out city plan. The Michigan
Boulevard and Wacker drive projects
In Chicago have resulted In the dis
placement of old rundown structures
with many new large modern buildings,
and the increase in land values and tax
returns to the city have many times
Offset the cost Of these projects, he said.
"In st. Louis the widening Of WASH
ington avenue and of Olive street has
resuscitated values in large blighted
area that had long given the city much
concern. The zoninz of Lindell Boule-
ward for large modern apartment build
ings over the protests OF speculative
group urging garages and filling stations
upon the corners of this fine thorough
fare, has resulted in increasing land
values from 500 to $500 front foot.
There are many specific examples OF
the great economic advantages ACQUIRING
from city planning. CONSPICUOUS among
these are the results of street widening
in the older districts OF cities. The
widening OF Stuart street in Boston cost
So, 100, 900 and the increase In assessed
value OF property along this project ap-
proximated $24 ,000, 000."

Home Financing Discussed.
Home buyers of Washington have I'M
usual financial advantages over those
offered home buyers in almost every
other city of the same size in the coun-
try, John A. Petty, executive secretary
declared at the Real Estate Forum seS-
sion this week at the Y. M. C. A.
Mr.. Petty said that "home buyers in
Washington enjoy a more simple and
equitable system of financing the pur-
chase Of a home than Is available in
most cities of the country. BY COM
parison, exceedingly low cash or down
payments are required and most rea-
sonable monthly payments can be ar
ranged. Interest rates and brokerage
commissions are much lower in Wash
ington than in many entire sections of
the country, and they show some favor
able advantages in most comparable
cities in all sections of the country"
In reference to the financing Of
homes, Mr.. Petty told the forum that
mortgages are not used in the District
of Columbia. but deeds of trust have
been used since the early history of the
city. This form of security for debt.
whether covering a borrowed money
debt or a deferred purchase price debt,
is simple, direct and entirely equitable
to the home owner and the holder OF
the mortgage or notes secured there
under. Flexibility in the use Of deeds
Of trust has made it possible to arrange
home financing to At the financial
needs or requirements of the home
buyer with facility and convenience.
and also provides sound investments in
small units available for either the
small or large investor"

Of the integrity of the real estate broker

well. In purchasing a home one not
only acquires certain definite ad-
vantages, but he assumes dennlte ooi,
cations. Procedure and custom as well
as specific laws governing such trans
actions and the responsibilities involved
therein. must be understood by the
broker or the salesman in order to
assure protection of the legal rights
and interests of his clients.
BY setting up specific particulars IN
respect to the activities of licensees the
law furnishes real estate brokers and
real estate statesmen a very definite
group of standards to follow. 1t also
emphasizes the importance and neces-
sity of strict adherence to these stand
ards. The public gains a better un-
derstanding Of the character and type
of service to which it is entitled and
are provided with basis on which 1t
can demand protection.

NEW ORLEANS, La, November g.
Deploring the fact that such funda-
mental industries as farming and build
ing construction should be financed only
In those periods when the stock market
is slow, z. E. Murrey, Nashville. Tenn,
banker, asked delegates to the sixteenth
annual convention Of the Mortgage
Bankers Association of America here
to consider ways and means OF avoiding
depression in the building field when
there Is activity in Wall Street. Mr.
Murrey is president of the association.
wall Street has been q magnet at
tracing funds from other activities for
the past few months and the burden
has fallen largely on real estate" said
Mr.. Murrey. I'VE discovered almost
overnight that mortgage securities were
face to face with severe competition
from other forms of securities. Stock
issues in the first eight months Of 1929
were three times as large as for any
similar period in previous years. Call
loans reached the astounding figure Of
$1,000, 600, 900. And during the f1rst
eight months of 1929 the building Of
residences fell of 26.3 per cent.
Undoubtedly in some quarters real
estate has been doomed too much In
the postwar years and the present
credit stringency is having healthful
effect. But, looking at the situation
is 1t desirable for the country as whole
that such fundamental industries as
farming and building construction
should be financed only in those periods
when het stock market Is slow?"

various sources of mortgage loan funds

!. NEW YORK, April 5.-The curve of
power consumption continues upward
This is highly significant of the indus
trial activity, since the longer daylight
hours have reduced the amount of
current consumed for lighting below
the level maintained throughout the
Winter.
There may be some uncertainty ex-
pressed in ultra-conServative circles
regarding the cost of financing future
commercial requirements, but this is
not universal and many believe indus
try has not yet reached the peak for
the movement,
In fact, the activity after the Easter
period has been remarkable. The
steel mills are, functioning at 95 per
cent or better in some cases. Prices
are firm and the demand, while not
showing any sharp SpurtS, is steady.
Building activities are making up for
the drop in oil country goods. The
fine position of the automobile indus
try is shown by the heavy buying of
finished steel sheets for the new mod
els which will be brought out this
Spring.
Other Improvement Noted.
Some steel companies have had to
apply the stimulus of price reductions
in order to keep volume of sales at a
satisfactory level but in general the
movement in hands of ultimate con-
Sumers has been most satisfactory.
One Mahoning Valley producer declared
today he had to turn down the largest
specification for sheets he has ever re-
fused owing to inability to meet deliv-
cry requirements. Another producer
/ says he has orders for eight-week
capacity operations now on his books.
The building construction program
is perhaps slightly behind the other
Key industries. This is attributed, how
ever, to the temporary stiffening OF
Building loan rates.
The passage of the Lenten season
has been signalized by a remarkable
improvement in the amusement lines.
The legitimate theaters have been filled

and many successes have put on extra
matinees this week to accommodate
the crowds. Athletic events of every
description have been well attended.
Some of the big league ball clubs
whose pennant chances are brightest
have been sold out on reserved seats
for the opening game of the season for
two weeks. The movie and the talkieS
have been heavily patronized and the
vaudeville theaters lave played to

hunting, trap shooting and camping
equipment have been heavy.
Lumber Is in a splendid position.
with camps and mills heavily engaged,
but with new business exceeding output.
Cement sales are large. but possible
oyerproduction is menace. Sales of
paint, patent roofing and hardware are
heavy. Furniture dealers have been
doing good business and the tent and
awning makers are commencing to reap
their annual profits
Sales Continue Large.
Radio sales are continuing at ter
rife pace, although the trade has been
accustomed to falling off shortly after
the first quarter Of the year. Retail
trade has been good, the postmaster
sales having served to keep volume up.
The demand for apparel. shoes ana
millinery is excellent, while piece goods
are recording disposal of a considera-
BILE yardage.
The railroad equipment companies
have more orders on hand than for
several years and the buying is by
no means over, since it is known some
big carriers still have specifications to
place. The railroads are doing ire
mendous business and the reports OF
the regional boards indicate that the
requirements of shippers will continue
heavy throughout the next two months.
Sales of seeds. shrubs and garden
tools have been larger than usual ana

CHICAGO. July 23.-COlOnel E. r.
Bradley is determined to make Blue
Larkspur the leading money winner
Of all time.
Keenly disappointed when this
son Of Black Servant BlOssOmtime
failed 10 win the Kentucky Derby
Bradley now desires to make Lark
spur "Standout' horse by having
him eclipse zev's money winning
record Of $313,639.

When Larkspur won the American
Classic here a week ago he brought
his earnings to $500. 400, supplanting
Crusader, who until that time had
held sixth place as a pure winner.
This record Of Larkspur is more
amazing when the fact that he has
started in only thirteen races is con-
5idered ExterminatOr went TO the
post 100 times, Zev faced the start
forty-three times. Also, Zev had
the advantage Of two match races

That Larkspur has a good chance
Of supplanting Zev as the high

fact that Bradley's horse yet is
