It is our ambition that each member
shall capitalize on this in his own
business and that this confidence
enjoyed by the board shall be ex-
tended to each member thereof SO
that he. too. may feel and enjoy the
impetus and power inherent in such
great public force.
The organization known as the
Washington Real Estate Board and
its present body, the Real Estate
Brokers Association Of the District of
Columbia, organized during 1918. Is
today carrying out the ideals ex-
pressed many years ago. The Wash
ington Real Estate Board came into
existance during 1921, and since then
has devoted its efforts toward main
tanning a high standard of business
practices and offering a meeting
place for the discussions Of problems
affecting the business Of real estate
bfokers for the benefit of their clients
and the public.

Estate Board.
The modern business world is fully
aware of the value of group action
1t is exemplifled in associations Of all
kinds, such as real estate boards,
chambers Of commerce. service clubs
and fraternal organizations.
Just as a bank assemblies in one pool
the individual financial credits Of the
community, q real estate board as
sembles and mobilizes the construc-
tive influences Of its various members
into one powerful, united force. This
force, when rightly guided, results in
that marvellous power we call credit,
reputation or general standing with
the public. A favorable public senti-
ment is the result of the proper
guidance of this mighty force. Public
sentiment, according to Abraham Lin
coin, is the one essential Of success.
Lincoln said, "with public sentiment,
anything succeeds; without it. nothing
succeeds"
The Washington Real Estate Board,
In very high degree, merits and re-
ceives the complete confidence of the
National Capital area. This is due
to its splendid leadership through the
years. This leadership has comprised
many OF the best and ablest citizens
Of this great city. We have fought
for the square deal in real estate; this
fight has been in the interests Of the
taxpayers and property owners and
they have returned this service in
unqualified confidence in this board.
This is exemplified every day by
numerous telephone calls and per-
sonal visits, testifying, every one Of
them, to the complete confidence that
the general public has in this institu-
ton. It is a sacred trust to all of US
to preserve and transmit to those who
come after us.
Not only is this confidence shown
by the people at large, but by leaders
of other organizations. The conf

Building and Loan Semi

WINSTON-SALEM, N. c., Decem-

semi-annual dividend checks will go
to shareholders of 413 building and
loan associations in the fourth Fed
eral Home Loan Bank district between
Christmas and New Year day, it was
estimated here today. The District

The estimate was made by o. K.

now sending out their semi-annual

Bank to meet the demands Of po-

that their borrowings are constantly
increasing is regarded as an indica-
ton that a building revival is well
advanced. Untouched lines Of credit

BUILDING INCREASE
IN PRINCE GEORGES.
Construction Hits $780,.
900, Three Times Figure
for 1884.
BY ANGUS GREEN,


UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Decen1-
ber 2S.-It will be a happy new year
for Prince Georges real estate opera
tors, building supply men and con-
tractors if 1886 construction keeps the
pace set in 1885.
The year just ending has set a
new mark in new construction with
a total in excess Of 81, ,700, 900, or three
times as much as was recorded in
1884, according to preliminary figures
issued by authorities here.
Building operations in Prince
Georges are divided into two districts,
which for the sake Of convenience
are described as "the metropolitan
area" and the "lower end" Of the
county.
Metropolitan Area Gains.
In the metropolitan district oficial
figures for the first II months Of 1885
show construction reaching the total
Of S1,287,336 as compared with SAIL
7s8 for the full IL months of 1894.
In the lower end permits calling for
some 100000 in construction were
issued.
In the two districts a4e permits
were issued, with 6la in the metro
politan area.
The banner month for 1885 in the
metropolitan district was July, when
new construction calling for an out
lay Of $201, 1927 was authorized Janu-
ary was the "low month";" with only
s26,55O being authorized.
The totals for other months are:
February, $45,540; March, S66,365;
April, $84,180; May, $126,530; June,
$116,015; August, $190,132; Septem-
ber, $155,045; October, $144,667; No.
vember. $13o,os5, and December,
$59,225.
Influenced by d. C.
The upward swing in real estate
and construction operations, accord
ing to authorities, was noted soon
after the influx Of new people In
Washington.
The increase in the Districts popu-
lation forced many families to seek
living quarters outside the confines OF
the city, with Prince Georges getting
it, proportionate share along with
Montgomery and Arlington Counties
and Alexandria City, 1t was said.
While survey Of real estate men
discloses an optimistic outlook for the
new year, some operators are inclined
to the opinion that the peak of the
boom has been reached and that the
future will see slower but neverthe.
less steady growth.
In this connection it was empha-
sized that the Government will hardly
continue to draw to Washington any
large number Of people, as it did in
the early part of the Roosevelt admin
istration. This fact would tend to
halt a continued expansion in the
suburbs, according to these experts.
