In correspondence released to news

Increased building activity this
spring and summer in the Silver
Spring section to meet the grow
ing demand for popular priced
homes in that area, is predicted
by George j. Moss Of the firm Of

y This prediction is based on sales
for the past few months in Silver
Spring suburbs and the increasing
number of inquiries regarding
homes priced between $500 and
$1,000.
Mr.. Moss said:
Judging from recent sales
the comparatively few popular
priced homes i'm our section

ing public within the next few

moderately priced brick homes,

sold almost as soon as completed.

RECOVERY ROAD,
REALTORS AIM

Action to clear the way to re-
covery is taking two main paths.
so far as real estate is concerned.
They are Federal, State, local and
individual action to meet mort
gage needs. and major legislation
for more equitable State and local
taxation.
Along both paths events are
moving rapidly. In both. real
estate boards and their national
association are bringing all avail
able information and experience
to bear to achieve sound and con-
Structive measures.
States are widening their tax
base. That is the outstanding
characteristic of major State en-
actments for 1888, so far as they
affect real estate. Other !egisla-
tive trends noted by the National
Association Of Real Estate Boards
include:
!. Wider assumption of school
costs by State governments;
z. Adjustment Of assessments
more nearly to accord with
earning power;
y. Provision for contro, of tex
levies, and for tax limitation;

Of penalties for delinquent
taxes: extension of redemption
periods; authorization Of quar-
