Real Estate Board Reports
Condemned Practice.

"Free-lot" operators again are active
in washington, it was reported today by
John A. Petty, executive. secretary of the
Washington Real Estate Board, which
condemns the method Of selling property
as misleading and based on misrepre-
sensations.
Better Business Bureaus over the
country have issued warnings against
this type Of operation, pointing out that
the award Of free" lot is but scheme
to promote the sale of property.
In some instances the free" lot is
won" by a drawing and in others it is
awarded" Mr.. Petty explained. How
ever, he added, it is almost the invari-
able practice that the lucky one must
pay the alleged costs for surveying,
transfer Of title and other expenses,
which range from approximately $40 to
$50, out of which the promoter almost
always realizes handsome profit on the
lot given away"

BUSINESS BETTER"
IN PLANNED CITIES
Parks and Open Space I'm
portant to Welfare, Says
Recreation Secretary.

Business thrives better in the city
that is planned for living" Howard s.
Braucher, secretary of the National
Recreation Association, declares in Rec
reation, devoted to problems of recre-
alton areas in real estate subdivisions.
Business is only a means toward
living" he explains. I'VE must choose
first, as we build and rebuild our cities,
the land the children need and let
business and industry take the best that
is left. And yet from the point
of view of business, more money is made
when land is saved for parks, play
grounds and open spaces, because in
this case the nine-tenths remaining is
worth more than the ten-tenths.
Now is the time to set aside in per-
petuity our parks, Fairgrounds, picnic
grounds in the country, swimming
places, skating ponds, mountain and
belong to all the people. Each years
delay makes the difficulties and the cost
greater"
The magazine lists data on SGT sub
divisions in 258 cities which have set
aside permanent recreation spaces. OF
the subdivisions giving complete reports
for this chart, 229, with a total acre
age Of 173,83795, have set aside TO-
553.08 acres for recreation purposes.
Equipment, location and size of sub
division play areas, cooperation of
realtors with the city plan, school sites
and control and financing of the recre-
alton areas are other topics considered
in the magazine.
The article states: Practically all
rapidly growing cities in the United
States during the past decade have been
overSubdiyided. Thousands of subdivid-
ers who planned developments of the
old stereotyped method of gridiron
streets, with no open spaces, have gone
out of business.
Some Of the most experienced real
estate developers believe that the solu-
ton of this problem lies in the revamp-
ing and replatting of well chosen sites
and the inclusion of sufficient recrea-
ton areas in them. This would no
doubt lead to renewed interest in
them by the public who is interested in
homes in livable neighborhoods."

Labor Is Important.

in terms OF operating costs rather than
real estate cost
