Reports that the acquisitions ag-
gregated SIS 100000 were character
lied as bunk" by Maurice Wer-
theim, senior partner of the firm.
I'VE are buying real estate" he
said. Equities, that is, no mort
cages. We are buying them and
have been buying them in the ex-
pectation that the first flush of
recovery would affect them favor
ably"
Asked if he believed the first flu I
of recovery was on us. he said
he did.
For Own Investment
Mr.. Wertheim does not believe in
promulgating rosy prospectuses for
public effect He explained that he
and his partners were bankers, that
they did not solicit orders for real
estate and that all the firms buying
had been for its own investment
account.
Two years ago-when most own
ers of real estate we're in the dol
drums-Wertheim q Co. installed a
real estate department This was
not for the convenience of clients,
but for the investigation of the
firms own prospective investments.
There is a lot of depressed real
estate overhanging the market, "
Mr.. Wertheim explained. Nothing
requires a more specialized knoWl-
edge. Being bankers, we know
that little knowledge is a danger
Gus thing. Therefore, we brought
in men to handle this department
with a successful record of expe-
rience."
The main type of investment
made by the firm is in apartment
houses with one to three rooms in
the more moderate priced residen-
tial areas. Such buildings afford,
Mr. Wertheim believes, "the great
est investment opportunity"
He offers three reasons for buying
real estate: First, the real estate
market has been che of the most
Debated by companions with stocks
and commodities; second, lack of
building in recent years has put
New York City in a position of be-
ing "underbuilt," with respect to
cheap residential buildings; and
last, the best hedge against infla-
ton is commonly accepted as real
estate equities.
Mr.. Wertheim is frank to admit
that great deal of his firms pur-
chaSes have been for the last rea-
son. In addition to equities, the firm
is choosing with discrimination real
estate bonds. 1t is not buying guar
anteed mortgages, however, one of
the reasons being that there is no
recognized broad market for them.

CHICAGO PARK

Unable to Get Fair Rates
From Private Producers,
Official Declares.

BIZ Times Special
CHICAGO, May 15.-The tide Of
resistance to high rates for utility
services gained momentum today as
the Chicago Park District took IN
DER Amusement a plan TO erect four
small Diesel electric generating
plants TO provide energy for park
lighting requirements.
We have not been able to work
out what we believe is a fair rate
with private producers" Robert j.
Durham, president of the parN
commissioners, declared If we)
build our own plants he said, 1T
will be only because We are forced
into it."
100000 Saving Seen
The contemplated cost of the
project would be approximately
S2OOO.O0O MI. Durham estimated
that it would result in a saving OF
5000. 600 annually in the bill for
lighting parks and boulevards. The
present yearly bill is now in the
neighborhood of 100000
The head of the park commits
sionerS explained that the park dis
trict is now buying most of its cleo
tricity from the Sanitary District Of
Chicago, but that source would De
closed as the latter organization
complies with requirements for re-
ducing its diversion Of lake water
and is unable to produce the present
kilowatt output.
He stated that the plan brings up
the subject of municipal ownership
and added that the board Of COM
missiOners is not necessarily advo-
eating municipal ownership.
New York Wages Campaign
Meanwhile in New York City,
where Mayor Fiorello La Guardia
has been waging intensive warfare
with private power interests, bar
gaining between the two interests
continues. On Monday Mayor La
Guardia renewed his threat to erect
municipal power plant as an off,

tricity now charged the city.
In New York City the situation
is of major concern because of the
fact that both city and Federal
authorities have been campaigning
for reduced rates. Proposals and
counter proposals have been sub
mitted in the last few weeks, but as
yet no definite arrangement has
been worked out.
