and the religious and philosophical
base of peace.

ACTIVE REALTY
MARKET IS SEEN
Morton J. Luchs, Realtors
President, Forecasts
Spring Pickup.

The spring of 1888 will bring one
of the most active real estate markets
in recent years. in the opinion of
Morton j. Luchs, president of the
Washington Real Estate Board and
vice president of the Shannon &
Luchs Co.
He stated that apartment house
buyers have been to some extent hold
ing back because they have seen va
cancies increasing. Washington has
been spoiled during the last two or
three years because of the 100 per
cent rental situation, he said, adding:
There was time when we figured
on 10 per cent vacancies in buying and
selling apartment houses, and We will
again, although vacancies today aver
age only to per cent and are
not increasing at any alarming rate
New apartment house construction
is stopping, so from now on vacan-
cies should level off, he holds.
Sees Homes Moving.
Mr.. Luchs further said that home
buying has been temporarily retarded
because of the general feeling that
prices were getting too high. New
home construction has slowed up. so
that with the coming of spring avail
able homes should move rapidly.
The realtors president feels that
the recent stock market drop made
many hesitate in making additional
real estate investments. because they
saw their paper profits shrinking.
Those who were not in the market
lost confidence temporarily, but they
are already coming back to real es-
tate. as are many who were dabbling
in stocks. Every one is recalling, con-
tinues Mr.. Luchs, that real estate
weathered the storm of the last de-
preston much more satisfactorily
than other mediums of investment,
other than Government bonds and
first mortgages secured on real estate.
Climbs to $4,000.
Washington has rapidly grown from
a city of 485,000 in 1880 to over 62O,-
000 today, and it will continue to grow
until it reaches its place ''in the sun"
OF world capitals, Mr.. Luchs holds.
Today it ranks only seventeenth in
world capital population.
The first six months Of 1887 saw
very active real estate market. The
summer brought a temporary lull, as
usual, because of vacations. The fall
market was slow because of world
conditions in general and the stock
market in particular. plus the reac-
ton of record breaking strike year,
but business investment property sales
are picking up tremendously.

County Building
Breaks Record for Third Year

Real estate activity in Montgomery
County, Md, in 1897 established an
all-time record with s8300,934 being
expended for private construction. 1t
marked the third year in succession
that building had surpassed previous
records.
The figure exceeds by slightly more
than Sl,000.000 the former record Of
$7,265, ,233, set In 1886, while it is
about 70 per cent above the total for
, 1885, when the present great building
boom in the county really got under
way. 1t more than doubled the build
ing expenditure of 1927 when the pre-
depression record was set.
While tabulation has not been COM
pleted, officials estimate that nearly
$500 houses were built in the year
just closed approximately The same
number as were erected in 1896. and
only 239 short Of the number built in
the District of Columbia in 1887.
BY far the greater portion of the
sum expended for building in the
county during the year was for resi-
dental construction. The big month
for total money expended was August,
when the valuation reached 81 300 600.
In that month permits were issued
for three additions to Falkland Prop
critics, the huge F. H. A.-financed
apartment project at Sixteenth street
and the District line. The largest
number of dwellings were built in
April, when county building inspec-
tors approved plans for over 200
single family structures.
Building activity in the western
suburban area. centering on Bethesda,
totaled $3,998, 800, excluding small re-
pair and modernization jobs and small

 Labor Convention

4 press release from the so-ealled unity convention in session last week in Ketehikan stated The con vention passed a resolution intro dueed by the Ketchikan industrial union council condemning the prac- tices of District Attorney Stump and requesting his immediate sus- pension from office. The resolution refers specifically to his treatment of the Toner and Davies case which was on Monday stricken from the court calendar by the request of At torney Stump. The industrial coun- ell had previously protested to At torney General Homer T. Cummings early in August and the Juneau cen tral labor council a short time ago passed a similar resolution demand ing an investigation of the office of Mir. Stump and his removal from office"
 The Chronicle reported that W. C. Stump, Assistant |. s. attorney at Ketehikan, said he had no comment to make on the conferences resolu- ton against him other than to point out that Henry Roden, attorney for the two men, wrote to the district court requesting that the case be put over to the regular Ketchikan term of court this year He said the pres ent session is a short equity term. and no regular session will be held until next March
