Garage Of Same Panels.

Equally interesting with the house
is a garage built Of the same panels,
but without mosaic or sculptured dec
orations. It is this garage which its
constructors say will set precedent
for subsistence homesteads building,
because its walls have set q new rec
ord for low-priced permanent wall
construction. As in the case Of the
mosaic ceilings In the Department Of
Justice, an occasional bath with q

for long time.

GEORGIA CITIES JOIN
TO GIVE MUTUAL AID
Mayors Association Formed,
With James I. Key of
Atlanta President.

Georgia became the thirty-third
State to have its cities band together
in an organization for mutual as
sistance on governmental problems,
when the Georgia Mayors Associ-
alton was formed recently at Atlanta,
says an announcement of the Ameri-
can Municipal Association.
Membership in the Georgia NUM-
cipal league Is not that of individual
officials, the cities joining as cor
porate bodies. James L. Key, mayor
of Atlanta, is the president Of the
new league and j. c. Robinson, also
of Atlanta, is secretary.
Cooperation among cities within
their State and generally over the
country has been found profitable,
especially within the past year or
two, the American Municipal Associ-
alton points but. Federal recognition
Of the cities as important, individual
governmental units has made this
cooperation doubly advantageous.
BY banding together, cities have been
able to gain fairer representation.
Although the league movement
first gained headway among the
larger cities of the more populous
States 20 years ago, many States
with fewer and smaller communities,
such as Washington, Oregon and
South Dakota, have recently formed
leagues. In most cases these organi-
cations have full-time secretaries,
which may be called upon for advice
on any subject from handbill laws to
budget procedures.
The leagues bring their biggest
problems to annual meetings. Dur
ing the current year interest has
been centered mainly on the need for
new municipal revenues, ways and
means Of financing relief and public
utility problems.

REALTY TENDENCY
UPWARD IS SEEN
Head of New York State
Real Estate Board
Expects Rise.

The fact that many syndicates are
being formed for real estate invest
ment is "a healthy sign for better
ment, and leads me to believe that
real estate has reached its ebb, and
that from now on we can look for
an enhancement in real estate values
and a general upward trend" Joseph
w. Catherine, president Of the New
York State Association Of Real Estate
Boards, says in a recent letter to the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards.
Many of the real estate operators
are again showing interest. Several
Of the Brooklyn savings banks are now
entering the mortgage market, and
are making loans on real estate. In
a recent series of visits upstate it has
been encouraging to see the improve
ment shown"
Seattle Outlook Better.
In line with earlier reports from
individual cities in many sections,
Seattle sends this week news of a
Frightening real estate outlook.
There is a good healthy demand
for modern homes properly priced.
The lack of building during the past
four years has created q scarcity Of
modern homes on the market. The
few builders that are constructing
homes at the present time are finding
fairly ready market, and are making
a fair profit" Harry o. Bold, presi-
dent of the Seattle Real Estate Board,
states.
I'VE have had strong Fall rental
demand in Seattle and prospects are
having difficulty in securing the type
of home they want. Tenants are
being notified that their rents on the
premises they occupy will be raised.
This has caused many to seek other
quarters and forced them into the
buying mood.
Residential rents are increasing
approximately from 10 to is per cent
over year ago. The higher priced
homes, those over SIS month, are
not renting readily We find great
demand for homes ranging from $50
to $50 unfurnished. 1t seems that
more families are moving this Fall
than they have for some time. There
is slight movement to better quar-
tiers, but this is not yet marked"
Kansas City Report.
Occupancy record and detailed
record of maintenance condition Of
20 apartment buildings of Kansas
City, Mo, sent the association by its
past president, H. r. Ennis, shows II
of these properties to have no va
cancieS.
Change taking place in the real
estate situation in one small Southern
town is reported to the association
by w. H. Hughes, Florence, S. c.
"At the present time in the city of
Florence, a city of approximately
1900 people, there are only four
stores and only nine dwellings offered
for rent. This includes structures
offered both for white and colored
occupancy" Mr.. Hughes says. I'VE
have a good many new people coming
in. There has been very little build
ing going on, especially for rental
purposes. Sales range mostly from
$4,000 to $780,"

gave of the construction Of the mosaic
ceilings at the Department of Justice
preview, also covered the construction
of the wall panels Of the experimental
house.
ITO make these panels, plaster
forms were first made with minute
ridges about an eighth Of an inch
high to mark the lines between the
various colors as they appeared on the
artists design" said Mr.. Farley. For
each Of these colors there was care
fully prepared a mixture of properly
colored stone and sand, with white
cement and water. Each of these
colors was therefore represented. on
the palette of our craftsmen, by a
plastic concrete that was easily put
into place on the lower surface of the
mold behind the tiny barrier which
kept it separate from the adjoining
colors. Over all this, we put the re-
inforcing wires and the form was then
filled to q depth of two inches with
concrete made Of crushed quartz and
quartz sand.
Mixture Highly Plastic.
Because 1t was important that the
concrete should flll even the tiniest
and sharpest creWce in the mold, the
mixture was made highly plastic.
Therefore. surplus water had to be re-

"Thereupon the cast was allowed tc
harden for IL hours. Then 1t was
taken out of the mold and its face
scraped with wire brushes to remove
the surface cement and expose the
aggregates. The surface was ther
given q bath with weak muriatic acid
to reveal the full brilliance Of the
coloring Just as you see 1t now. The
casts were then cured for IL days ir

LUMBER WORK GAINS
Increase in Number of Employees
Is Reported.

The preliminary figures on employ
ment under the lumber code In July
and August for 4,460 identical estab-
lishments show an increase of 2.44
per cent In total number Of employees;
and for employees subject to maximum
hours, over IL per cent in man-hours
and over II per cent in pay roll.
However, the figures for these two
months are affected by reduced opera
tions in July in the Douglas fir re-
gion due to the Pacific Coast long
shoremen's strike and increased pro-
duction and shipments after the strike
ended late In July. Reports from the
logging, lumber, shingle, door. ply
wood and box groups in the Douglas
fir region average 10 per cent more
man-hours in August than in July.
In all other regions total man-hours
in August average only per cent
over July. Lumber and cross ties in
the South show man-hours Ia per
cent greater.

DIRECT STATE REALTY

real estate is being advocated by the

The specific plan favored by the
realtors will be brought to the atten-

Assembly and for State ofice and
they will be asked TO say whether
they are for or against the proposal.
It is not improbable that an effort
will be made to incorporate in the
platforms Of the major parties planks
declaring in favor Of the elimination
Of the State tax levy. II both parties
should make such pronouncements,
action by the next session Of the
General Assembly would be practically
assured. II one party adopted such
q plank and the other declined to do

Tar Paper Under Concrete.

Before laying a concrete floor in a
garage the earth should be covered
with one or two thicknesses of tar
paper. This will prevent the con-
crete from picking up moisture from
direct contact with the earth, and
hence prevent the garage from being
damp and cold.

Panels of the same architectural
concrete which make up the brilliant
ly colored mosaic ceilings of the De-
partment of Justice Building, dedicat-
ed Thursday, have been used in build
ing an unusual house in nearby Mary
land.
This residence-a five-room bunga-
lows being constructed on the
Colesville pike north Of the entrance
to Indian Spring Country Club. Due
to the vivid color Of its walls, this ex-
perimental house has attracted con-
siderable attention, but public an
uouncement of the project was with
held until the walls could be COM
pleted.
Result Of Is Years Study.
The house is the result Of Is years
Of intensive research in concrete by
John j. Farley of Washington, who
holds the Turner gold medal by the
American Concrete Institute for max.
ing concrete an architectural medi-
um." Mr.. Farley designed and pro-
duced the mosaic ceilings Of the De-
partment of Justice Building, and the
first announcement of his housing
venture was made at the preview Of
these ceilings.
The house represents an entirely
new departure in concrete house con-
struction at cost comparable to that
of frame house, 1t was stated. For
the first time, the completed walls Of
such q house have been cast in a
studio, in 2-inch panels Of reinforced
concrete averaging by 10 feet each.
The surface of these panels is made
up of exposed aggregates Of red jes-
perite quartz from Oklahoma, giving
it the appearance of granite. Ac-
cording to Mr. Farley, these walls are
absolutely fireproof as well as
weatherproof. A new engineering
achievement is represented In the
method by which these panels are at
tached to light concrete pillars poured
behind the joints when the panels are
in place.
The panels are completely precast,
including sculptured cornice and o
decorative frieze. Door and window
easements are cast into the panels in
the Farley studies to prevent danger
of leakage.
