One Civic Problem
Solved Satisfactorily.

I Usually civic problems are
much discussed, sometimes
solved after long delay, but in
many cases seem almost hopeless.
For years civic-minded individuals
who assumed the chairmanships of
important civic committees we're
sorely perplexed over the finding of
a suitable and convenient place for
committee meetings. OF course,
those who had Offices of their own
or we're members of clubs were free
from this problem.
The Evening Star has provided a
solution by making available for
such meetings the conference
room OF the Circulation Depart
ment. This arrangement has been
made through the courtesy of Gait
Burns, circulation manager of
The Star.
Reservations by civic organiza-
tions for the use of this room are
made by telephoning National 5000
branch 297.
Among the bodies using the con-
ference room during the past week
were the executive committee of
the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations and the committee chair
men, the special committee on the
milk situation, the committee on
fiscal relations and the committee
on education, all of the federation.

Shopping Advice 0fSen.

Washington housewives were ad-
viSed to familiarize themselves with
retail stocks in local stores, not Only

hobby, in the weekly radio broadcast
of the Better Business Bureau by

SESSION TO WEIGH
HOUSING FINANCES
National Association Plans
to Explore Sources fer
Cities Funds.

Finance Is the chief problem facing
the city housing authorities being set
up to put into effect locally the new
national public housing program, the
National Association Of Housing on
cials said today. Since the Wagner
6teagall law requires that 10 per cent
OF the project cost be raised locally
rather than borrowed from the Fed
erAl Government. and also requires
that local governments share in the
subsidies necessary to effect low
rentals, both local governments and
the housing authorities through which
they expect to act must review sources
Of credit and grants.
The cities new financial problem In
housing will be one Of the major ques-
tons to be discussed and acted upon
by the hundreds OF housing admins
traitors and experts who will gather in
Cleveland November 1920 for the
NTH annual conference of the Ma
tional Association of Housing officials
Bond Issues Feasible.
1t is pointed out that most local
agencies have the powers necessary
to issue their own bonds, secured by
revenues from the contemplated hous-
ing projects; powers which were never
exercised under the previously CEN
tralized housing program. Several
sources Of credit have been suggested.
and will be discussed at the Cleveland
session. These include:
l. Private funds represented by in
vestment banking interests.
2. Public funds held In various sink
ing funds or reserves, such as social

ulate the individuals performing real
estate services as distinct from regu-
lating the business itself. He stressed
the importance of filing applications
early.
The requirement to be licensed,
Petty said, rests on every individual
member of firm or partnership and
every individual officer Of a corpora
ton who actively participates in the
real estate brokerage business of such
f1rm, partnership or corporation. Fur
thermore, in some instances, employees
of brokers must he licensed because
the definition Of salesman set out in
the law embraces not only selling
properties, but certain types Of activi-
ties in both renting and leasing as
well as in the mortgage loan branch
OF the business.
Even builders, who heretofore may
not have considered themselves in the
real estate business as such, under
some circumstances, come within the
scope of the law and their employees
who offer or attempt to sell houses
must be licensed. Loan correspond
ents of insurance companies, mort
gage brokers who solicit insured
mortgages under the Federal Housing
Administration plan, resident mana
gers Of apartment houses, persons &C.
cupying clerical positions during the
week and who over the week end cover
houses open for sale or rent, develop
ers of water front or other properties
located outside Of the District who offer
or attempt to sell same within the Dis
trict, are further illustrations of those
who come within the requirements OF
the license law. The law specifies one
act as sufficient to require license.
THE commission adopted an adj
ministrative policy Of special interest
to corporations" Petty continued.
when it decided that junior officers
OF corporations. such as an assistant
secretary, would not be required to be
licensed As q broker but could be
licensed as a salesman" He further
stated that Individual members or
officers Of firms, partnerships and cor
porations who devote their time to the
insurance department Of real estate
office and who do not perform any of
the acts of a broker In the real estate
brokerage field are not required to be
