The most comprehensive survey of
real estate ever undertaken in WASH
ington will be started following July 4
as a part of the master community sur
vey of Washington being made by the
Board of Trade, it was announced to-
day by Rufus S. Lusk, who is directing
the work. 1t is expected that the real
estate phase of the survey work will be
completed by August /.

The difficulty faced by the Dis
trict is seen in the fact that be-
tween 400 and 500 appeals from
assessments are now before the
District Supreme Court, and ap-
proXimately an equal number of
appeals for refund or cancella-
ton are on file with the District
government.
Hope for early passage of remedial
legislation was held by local officials
since the proposed substitute law was
designed only to reapportion street paw
ing costs on an equitable basis among
local property owners and the users OF
the highways, setting a maximum
amount which could be assessed against
owners of property abutting a street
paved. and not affecting the fiscal rela-
tons between the District and Federal
government.
Proposal Not Considered.
The proposal of the city heads, how
ever, has not yet come up for consider
alton at congressional committee hear
ing and no other remedial measure has
been offered formally
A, number of other measures directly
affecting property owners here, several
of which have been the subject OF
lengthy public hearings and deep study
by members Of Congress, also have failed
thus far of passage.
These include the two bills to regu-
late the sale of real estate securities, the
bill to license real estate brokers and
statesmen and providing for revocation
of the license of any found guilty OF
unethical or Illegal practices and the
bill to provide more stringent regula-
tions for handling foreclosure sales. The
80 c.A lou fVH Gin
liar form have been before Congress in
previous sessions.
The present session, however, has
seen the passage and final enactment
into law of the Shipstead measure,
which sets I'D control over the exterior
appearance of private buildings erected
nearby the major Federal developments
In the National Capital This measure,
designed to protect the beauty of the
Capital. was widely indorsed by local
organizations. 1t became law May Is

Three Real Estate Bills.
Senator Blaine of Wisconsin intro
duced three bills this session affecting
local real estate transactions. These
were for the regulation of the sale of
real estate securities to license real
estate brokers and statesmen and the
third for regulation of foreclosures. The
securities measure placed regulation with
the Public Utilities Commission and
provided for approving certain securi-
ties as legitimate for sale. This latter
feature met with wide objection. The
District Commissioners reported ad-
verSely on this bill and favored a securi-
ties law of another type, introduced by
Senator Capper of Kansas, chairman of
the Senate District committee. The
Capper bill provided for the registra-
