COM MERCIAL LEASING
REPORT is DUE SOON
New Committee Will Give Out
First International Statement
Next Week.

Real estate owners over the country
will receive next week the first informa-
tional report by the new committee on
commercial leasing policies of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate Boards,
which Is cooperating with the National
Association of Building Owners and
Managers.
The body was formed to aid in behalf
OF owners of properties under lease to
number of large regional or national
retail organizations who state they face
radical readjustmentS, reorganiZations
or liquidations through bankruptcy pro-
ceedings, the realtor committee ex-
planned.
The first report to affected owners, it
Is reported, gives information for two
retail concerns for each of the last four
years, total assets, total liabilities, de-
ficit, gross sales to date this year, ex-
penSes to date this year, accrued loss,
percentage of rent to sales for 1881 and
for 1882 to date, overhead expenses and
salaries, and estimated 1888 sales. The
information is confidential
The data, as supplied by the two re-
tail concerns, has been verified by a
qualified accountant, the realtor COM
mittee stated. The report continues:
"As preliminary step to the pro-
posed work of the National Committee
the organizations in question entered
into an agreement providing, among
other things, that they would not file
voluntary petition or permit any invol-
untary petition in bankruptcy. or any
equity proceedings to be started against
them prior to February l. 1888, and
that they would make available to the
national committee all information de-
sired by it and necessary TO afford a
true picture of their position. This they
have done"

SELLING PUBLIC DESIRE
TO BUILD RECOMMENDED
Secretary of Minneapolis Architects
Sees Architectural Sales Prac-
tice Revolution.

Time spent in selling to the public
the desire to build would produce great
returns, Albert o. Larson, Minneapolis,
secretary of the Minnesota Chapter Of
the American Institute of Architects,
declares in a summary of the needs of
architecture in 1888.
Revolutionary changes in architec-
tural sales practice, with emphasis on a
comprehensive advertising program bet
ter design and modernization planning,
would bring about revival of the
building industry, he believes.
Mr.. Larson maintains that co-ordi-
mated effort, both by word of mouth
and by printed advertisements, with the
sole idea of creating the desire to build
in the minds Of the public, would result
in billions of dollars in building opera
tons, as compared with what he de-
ScribeS as the present apathy.
There are still many tasks waiting for
the architect and the building industry,
foremost among which is the need of
economically constructed houses for
workers whose salary is under $4,000 a
year, the architect declares.

"Model' Legislation.

Adoption Of the model mechanics

HOME MARKET ACTIVITY
is PREDICTED DURING 1888
Recovery of Business Will Increase
Rent and Purchase Demand,
Says Babson Official.

As business picks up in 1893 thou
sands of persons who have been forced
to live with others will come into the
market for homes on a rent or purchase
basis, Ralph B. Wilson, vice president
OF the BabSon Statistical Organization,
said in an address recently before the
Kansas City Real Estate Board.
This will be very stimulating factor
to the real estate business" he contin-
ued. If the business recovery should
be substantial, it is quite possible to
have a shortage of reasonably priced
residential houses in many cities.
This situation, coupled with the fact
that real estate values have held I'D
better than securities in this depression.
gives a rather optimistic favor to the
real estate outlook"

URGES SAFETY EDUCATION
Architects Institute Official Pushes
Workmen's Instruction.

Education Of workmen as a means of
reducing accidents in building construc-
ton was recommended to the American
Institute of Architects in the annual re-
port of Samuel r. Bishop of New York,
chairman of the Committee on Health
and Safety, as result of a national
safety survey
He contended that safety codes, laws
and regulations alone will not prevent
accidents. He attributed 90 per cent OF
the mishaps in construction to thought
lessness and unnecessary risk taken by
employees.

SMALL HOMES SEEN.
ARCHITECTS FIELD.
Head of American Institute
Also Finds Modernizing
Offers Work.

The designing of small homes and
the moderniZation of existing structures
now furnishes the widest national field
Of work for members of the archi-
tectural profession, Ernest John Rus
sell Of st. Louis, president of the Amer
ican Institute of Architects. declares in
his annual report this week.
He finds that the design of small
homes presents a problem that has not
been solved satisfactorily as yet and de-
scribes studies being made of this class
of work.
A great majority of existing structures
are in need Of repair and many could
be modernized to the advantage Of own
ers, thus constituting a comparatively
untouched field of work which archi-
tects should till vigorously, he con-
cludes.
Momentous Changes Seen.
A highlight of the report is the
prediction that the next decade Will
bring an architectural renaissance
which will introduce momentous changes
in thought and lead to even greater
progress than has been made in the
past.
Architecture as an art has benefited
immeasurably by the depression, in that
! ultra modernism in construction mas
tects have been forced to turn to more
utilitarian tasks, Mr.. Russell asserts.
He commended the honest" arch1tec-
tural moderniStS.
Architectural modernists," he as
serted, deserve praise for their efforts
to stir our imaginationS and this Will
result in buildings that are inherently
honest in their design and expressive
of modern materials, methods and uses.
The wild enthusiasts have had oppor-
tunity to analyZe more accurately. The
result will be a reinforcement OF under
living principles of the splendid works
of the past which are noted for their
sincerity and beauty.
Revolution Unrecognized.
"The modernists have awakened in
us the realization that too great stress
has been laid on blindly following
precedent and that the profession has
failed to recognize the revolution that
has taken place in building materials
and operations"
Efforts toward unification Of the pro-
fession are beginning to show results.
Mr.. Russell declared. Recognition of
private architects by the Federal Gov
ernment is cited as an illustration OF
the effectiveness Of concerted action In
the profession to secure the assignment
of public construction work.
''Those who lend money for build
ings." he continued, "are convinced that
buildings well designed and of good
construction are more valuable than ILL
considered structures. Hence there
arises the desire for the certification of
buildings along the lines of design, con-
struction, suitability for use and appro-
priateness of location"
Establishment of the Construction
League, headed by Robert D. Kohn Of
New York, past president Of the Amer
ican Institute of Architects, was listed
as an outstanding development Of the
year. It's meetings. he said, have in
creased the understanding Of the in
ternal problems of the construction in
dustry.

The picture opens with the
Cathedral ceremony commemorat-
