Alfred H. Lawson, president of the
Washington Real Estate Board, an
nounced that the Blaine measure will
be studied and that the board would
be represented in the hearings. The
measure has been forwarded to Gen.
Nathan w. MacChesney general coun-
sci Of the National Realtor Association,
for consideration.
Differences in Bills.
The Blaine bill differs from the meas
ure introduced by Senator Capper
chiefly in the following points:
It provides that the Real Estate Com
mission consist of three appointed
members, not more than two being
actively engaged in real estate business.
The Capper bill provided that all three
commissioners be of practical real es-
tate experience.
The Blaine bill would make the Dis
trict tax assessor an ex-officio fourth
member of the commission.
The Blaine measure would make the
annual license fee for brokers SIS. in
stead of $40 as proposed by realtors
The fee for statesmen would be SIS per
year under either measure.

| be judged from the fact that in two
cases major changes were made by the
builders at the suggestion OF the COM
mittee. In one case, an attractive house
plan was withdrawn voluntarily by the
builder and an entirely new design
submitted which was unanimously ap-
provd by the committee as better suit
ing the site selected for the proposed
house. In the second case, major
changes were made in the exterior de-
sign of the projected dwelling, at the
suggestion of a committeeman, which
were approved by the committee after
the new design was submitted at a SUBJ
sequent meeting.
The first model home is being erected
by Shannon & Luchs, Inc, at $500

The program has been organized for
The Star by the Operative Builders
Association, which will supervise the
program throughout, including the con-
Struction, furnishing and demonstra-
ton of the homes. The association CO.
operated with The Star in the 1929
program.
Members Of Committee.
Leaders in the several fields related
to home development are included in
the membership of The Star model
homes committee which was appointed
to direct all phases of the program.
This committee consists of Monroe
Warren, president OF the Operative
Builders Association; Louis Justement,
past president of the Washington Chap
ter of the American Institute of Archi-
tectS, who was nominated by Horace
w. Peaslee, president of the chapter;
Maj. Donald A. Dawson. assistant engi-
neer commissioner of the District, in
charge of building and coming activi-
ties; Wilmer j. Waller, president of the
H. Lawson. president of the Washington
Real Estate Board Rufus S. Lusk. Sec

non & LucAS. Inc, Waverly Taylor,
Inc. Baer & Scholz, the North WASH
ington Realty. Co., Inc, and w. c. &
A. N. Miller, all Of which firms are well
known in the construction field of
Washington.
The scope of the program this year
Is broader than last year in that there
is wider range in the cost of the va
rious houses and in the architectural
styles, which will afford a more varied
presentation to the public. The five
houses win be erected in scattered sec
tons of the city. also providing wide
appeal to the public.
New Feature Planned.
A new feature will be the inclusion in
the program of a modest house costing
$3.50, as an illustration of what can
be done by careful planning of a small
inexpensive row dwelling. This is the
least costly home ever included in a
Star model home program.
There also will be large, stone, de-
tached house, costing between $4,000
and $4,000, which will give an Illus
tration of a home in the more costly
scale. other houses will be at various
cost scales ranging between the top and
/ bottom levels.
Thus there will be open for inspec-
ton homes of the costly, medium and
inexpensive types, row houses and de-
tached dwellings, and houses of widely
different styles, locations, plan and
decoration.
In each case the builders submitted
drawings and plans for the inspection
Of The Star model homes committee
which thoroughly studied various phase:
of the proposed developments. Mem
