other similar undertakings"
Charles w. Darr, president OF the
Chamber of Commerce, states:
Greater Washington today manu-
features annually products valued well
in excess of 100000, 900. 1t is important
to note that WaShington'S industrial

Commissioners Statement.
District Commissioner Taliaferro
writes that Washington in recent
years has enjoyed an industrial deve!-
opment which does not conflict with
the upbuilding of the city along lines
appropriate to the Nations Capital. AS
a result we know that certain indus
tries are distinct asset to our people
because they not only provide employ
ment for many of the children grad
uated from our schools each year, but
also contribute notably to the economic
independence of the community"
Commissioner Dougherty cited census
figures showing that the population of
washington had increased "a per cent
since 1928, far greater than in most
cities in the East. This, he states,
of opportunities for employment, "for
without them oncoming generations

Parents Face Problem.
Mothers and fathers are faced with
the question: What will our children

out pointedly by Maj. Gen. Anton

adds:
"The effects Of this situation upon the
home and upon the community are not
good.
"This whole problem of employment
Is receiving the serious attention OF
Washingtons business leaders who see
in 1t the greatest potential obstacle TO
the normal future growth OF the Cap
ital City. All are agreed that the great
need is to multiply the number OF en-
ployment opportunities locally available.
To this end they are urgently advocat-
ing the expansion of present industries,
the creation of new industries, the
bringing to Washington of the head
quarters Offices of national associations
and the encouragement of needed Gov
eminent and private undertakings OF
every kind which will result in the Gre

Z. j. Murphy. president of the Wash

Real estate financing methods" Mr..
Culver declared, have had to undergo
changes in order to make possible these
bigger buildings and this increase Of
volume In construction.
Changes In the field of real estate
financing have been numerous and i'm
there has been a large and steady
growth in the amount Of building that
has been financed through the medium
Of bonds. do not mean to say that
the individual mortgage has been
crowded out, for 1t is still a very Inn
portant factor, but bonds have been
gaining ground.
Bonds Held Safe.
"a mortgage on a skyscraper would
usually have to be for at least several
millions of dollars. Not many investors
would care to place SO large sum into
one project. Consequently the practice
is to divide the investment into bonds
of convenient denominations, usually
ST 900, $500 and 500, so that we now
have good real estate bonds to At
almost any investment account. They
offer safety, marketability, attractive
income and diversity for the investor
who wants to distribute his holdings
over a wide field both as to industry
and location.
"As a result of increase in the de-
mand for real estate bonds, it has be-
come a practice to group number of
properties together and to issue bonds
against these. Sometimes large num-
Der of mortgages upon individual
homes, apartment buildings and small
business properties are grouped together
and bonds are brought out against
these collaterals."
Mr.. Culver declared that real estate
today constitutes sound basis for
financing and, in view OF the tendency
toward bigger buildings and the in
rreasing volume Of building, one OF the
best forms of investment for persons OF
both large and small means.

REALTOR PREDICTS
ERA Of BUILDING
Culver Also Sees Real Estate
Securities Gaining Favor
as investments.

That the builders of the country will
have plenty to do to occupy themselves
between now and 1850 and that real
estate securities will be correspondingly
popular was predicted by Harry H.
Culver, president of the National Asso-
citation OF Real Estate Boards, when he
spoke Thursday night on a radio pro-
gram broadcast from Chicago.
Mr.. Culver emphasized as two Of the
most important tendencies in the
American real estate field today the
construction of ever bigger buildings
and the enormously increasing volume
of building which is going on at
present.
Answering critics who find the Amer
lean super-skyScraper the outgrowth OF
rivalry between builders and cities and
who regard these soaring structures as
a mania for something bigger and bet
ter, he emphasized the need for speed,
efficiency and intense concentration of
business in America where, he declared,
more business is done and business Is
accomplished faster than In any other
nation.
Building Just Catching Up.
Speaking of the vastly increasing
volume of building going on today, Mr..
Culver pointed out that building was
necessarily halted somewhat during the
war and was just now catching up with
itself. AS another reason for this large
volume of building he cited the enor-
nous influx Of rural population into
the cities. This immigration into urban
communities is due to continue, ne pe-
neyes. as is the increasing average
wealth of the American people, which
makes attainable better living and Dusi-
