TALK
Of INDUSTRY

The industrial property division
of the National Association Of
Real Estate Boards will hold a
two-day regional conference in
Detroit, Mich. October q and
%. A definite program has not
been announced, but tentative
plans indicate there will be de-
tailed. discussions of a half dozen
q the most difficult problems
which confront the man who
seeks to locate industries on sites
in which those plants will be
most successful and prosperous.
An entire half day of the time
of the conference is to be spent
in an inspection of Detroit's in
dustrial developments, probably
mainly in the Dearborn district.
The visitors will be conducted on
this inspection trip by leading
Detroit industrial location men.
There will be likewise a trip
through the Ford plant.
While the conference is an ac-
tivity of the industrial property
division, it will be attended not
only by realtors, but by industrial
location specialists from railroad
companies. public utilities con
Germs and chambers of commerce.
The division held a conference
for industrial location experts OF
the southwest and hnidwestern
States, at st. Louis, last fall.
A meeting took place last May
in San Francisco and was at
tended by industrial property men
from the Pacific coast states
from Alaska, Hawaii and British
Columbia. It is expected that
the attendance at the Detroit
meeting will be drawn largely
from the Atlantic coast states,
New England. the middle west,
and the southern provinces OF
Canada.
Headquarters for the meeting
will be at the Hotel Statler.

on Bay Once Haunt
OF Mayo, Pirate

Selby-on,the-Bay, Washineton's
newest colony, on the Mayo Road
in nearby Maryland, is part Of a
section which abounds in histori-
cal romanceS. This beautiful sum-
mer home subdivision, which has
Just been opened to the, public, is
a part Of q vast section of over
5000 acres, which was seized by
the old pirate, Mayo, over
200 years ago. His galleops, with
their black flags at their mast
heads, used the bays and coveS of
the noble South River as their
hiding place, and sailed forth to
prey upon the unprotected mer-
chantmen from far-off lands
across the sea. They returned
with their plunder to this beauti-
full domain over which their leader
ruled with a rod Of iron. and
many stories are still told in this
section of Maryland Of buried
bECdSuEC SIl14 uLI1Uu1lu.
There are many strips of land
extending into both Chesapeake
Bay and the South River which,
in the old days were called
"neckS." Thus it was that this
section was first called Mayo's
Neck and later changed to South
River Neck-za delightful rolling
country overlooking the bay and
river.
Messrs. Branham and Williams,
of this city, recently acquired over
200 acres of this historic land,
which they have named Selby-on-
the-Bay. in honor of the man
who first acquired it by grant
from the King of England.
This they are carefully subdivid.
ing into beautiful building sites
of ample dimensions overlooking
the blue waters of Selby Bay, and
are founding a delightful sum-
mer home colony which when the
new short cut to the Mayo Road
is completed, will be only "a miles
from Washington with a fine
paved road all the way.
Selby-on-the-Bay has proven
such a delightful spot that, since
the opening of this new summer
colony, the owners report the
sale Of over $50, 900 worth Of fine
summer home sites with many
more prospective purchasers flock
ing to this alluring resort sub
division every day.
With a fine, wide bathing
beach, and a community park
which is beautifully wooded with
scores of wide spreading holly
trees; with a land-locking harbor
