RENTALS TOPIC
AT BOARD FORUM
Property Management Is
Discussed by Francis
A. Murray.

Addressing members of the Wash
ington Real Estate Board at its week
ly forum, Francis A. Murray, vice
president of the H. G. Smithy Co.
and the board, graphically outlined
the functions of property manage
ment Office. He stated that property
management is not simply a question
of obtaining tenant for piece OF
vacant property in order to make a
commission. 1t is the ability to obtain
the best net income for the owner of
that property after taking into con-
sideration a number of factors"
"The phases Of personnel are very
important" Murray said. land before
one attempts to build up property
management department he must
make sure his personnel Is of the
proper type. All Office personnel, in
cluding the manager, should be well
grounded in the foundamentals Of the
real estate business; each man in
charge of department should be q
specialist in his line; each clerk in
that department should be well ac-
quainted with his subject. The i'm
portance Of this cannot be too greatly
stressed as both the tenant and owner,
as well as the public, will quickly
lose confidence If they feel your man
does not know his business.
Murray stated it is the practice Of
property management Offices to bond
all employees whose duties are con-
nected with collections. Among the
duties of the property manager Muir
ray cited Analysis Of property for
best use: analysing past and present
operating statements; securing of
proper tenants, obtaining credit reports
on tenants If necessary; maintaining
the owners investment, and at all
times rendering courteous service to
tenants.
Present at the forum were William
L. Tyler, member OF the Virginia Real
Estate Commission; c. c. Collmus,
president of the Virginia Real Estate
Association; Otto Hollowell, secretary
Of the association, and several men,
bers Of the Alexandria, Arlington and
Fairfax Real Estate Board
The speaker at the forum on March

The present widespread lack Of ap-

building industry straight for labor
shortage, in the opinion of the Archi-
tectural Forum, which surveys the po-
tential shortage and points out that
80 per cent of the labor unions are not
considering taking on any apprentices.
Gradually all the signs" intangible
and local though they are, have be-
gun to point to the possibility of
shortage" the Forum says. -Four
months ago the National Association

ported rash of building labor short
ages all over the country Of brick

OPTIMISTIC PICTURE

Analyst for Toledo Property
Owners and Dealers Sees
Shortage in Housing.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TOLEDO, March 27.-An optimis-
tic picture Of real estate development
in American cities in the, next five
years was painted here by Roy 8.
Wenzlick, St. Louis, real estate analyst,
for 500 Toledo realtors and property
owners.
Shortage Of housing everywhere has
given the impetus to return Of values
to residential property, he said.
Although building is getting under
way, now. many cities like Toledo have
only about a tenth of the number Of
homes now building, as in normal
building years, he said.
Wenzlick said money-making oppor-
tunities now are in residential prop
critics, duplexes and four-family apart
ments. He claimed they should be
held until prices reach peak and then
funds switched to mortgages. He said
all indexes point to peak in the cur
rent boom about 1912.

Plans Are Made TO
Conserve Phosphates

Representative agriculturists in
Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Mon
tana, where about two-fifths of the
worlds known phosphate rock is
located, are making plans to con-
serve this supply of fertilizer for
United States farmers and prevent
it's sale abroad, says Leonard Heg-
nauer, extension agrononist, State
College of Washington.
At recent meeting, men from
the four western states where
phosphate mines are located, main
tanned that the potential crop
producing value of these phos-
pilates when applied to American
farms is far greater than any price
received for them in foreign COM
merce.
"One need not be a major pro-
phet," Hegnauer says, ito foresee
the time when the entire output
of the phosphate mines should be
used by American farmers on lands
greatly in need Of phosphorus. Fer
that reason it would seem wise to
safeguard the original supply as
plans, now in the making, propose.
We must not permit our rich in
heritance of raw fertility, our ma
tional 'bi1thright' to be sold for a
mes of pottage.'
At the western phosphate meet
ing it was stated that the worlds
present supply of phosphate rock
is l6,000.0000 tons OF this am
CUNT the beds in the four western
states mentioned account for g.
50O,OOO,OOO ton. In addition in other
states such as Tennessee, South
Carolina, Florida and Kentucky
there are additional amounts esti-
mated at 50O,OOO,OOO tons, making
a United States total of about sew
Ell billion tons This would be
enough to safeguard the agricul-
ture of America, as far as phOs-
phorus is concerned, for generations
to come, if it Is retained In this
country.
