District Cited
Bank Board Reports
Favorable Factors
For Washington

Washington is about the best place
IN the country to own home, while
the condition of the real estate
market here is very favorable to
buyers, according to a comprehen-
sive study of the realty mortgage
situation just completed by the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board.
Favorable signs in real estate in
Washington brought out by the study
include a decline in foreclosures,
increase of mortgage recordings,
general reduction in real estate
holdings, comparatively low tax rate,
gain in employment and pay rolls
and an increase in retail sales and
bank debts.
Three unfavorable real estate
factors are cited by the board. There
has been a change in at least two
of these since data for the study
were gathered in the early summer.
The report says that rentals are
trending downward, residential con-
struction is declining, and the relief
load is increasing. Though there
was a decline in residential building
during the first half of the year, this
type of building has been so active
here in recent months that the 1910
total for 10 months now exceeds in
volume the comparable period OF
1899, which year is generally con-
sidered the best for home building
IN the citv's history. Rentals now are
at least stable, due to the large
recent increase in number OF Gov
eminent workers. Though figures
gre not available, it is probable that
the relief load is lighter now than
1t was earlier in the year.
1888 and 1899 Compared.
A comparison of mortgage totals,
including land contracts, in 1888 ana
1889 is given in the report. In 1888
outstanding mortgage loan balances
for lending institutions were: Build
ing and loan associations, s117,9O2,-
600: insured banks, S21 ,165 900; H. Q.
L. c., 100000; national banks,
s7.858, 900; federal savings and loan
associations, S6,2680 900. Figures on
residential mortgages held by m
surance companies are not available
for 1898. In 1889, outstanding
mortgage loan balances were: Build
ing and loan associations, Sl22,4l6,-
600: life insurance companies, s43,-
$4,000; insured banks, $23 1868, ooo;
Federal savings and loan lnstltu-
tions. s14,156,00o; national banks,
80 sci 900. and H. o. L. c.. S8,2o3,Ooo'
General business conditions are
showing an improving trend IN
washington, the board pointed out,
In giving trends of factors in the
economic situation in the District
underlying mortgage security. the
estimated number of wage earners
here as of June, 1910, is $4,000, an
increase of 0.8 per cent from May
and 5.4 per cent from June, 1889.
The average index of pay rolls for
the first half of this year increased
81 per cent over the average for the
FIRST half of 1889.
The number of foreclosures IN the
first half of this year was 15.9 less
than in the first six months OF 1889.
The cost of living index for rentals
decreased by a tenth of / per cent
from March to June this year. Total
number of dwelling units constructed

The accelerated pace of con-

flected in the so per cent upturn in
October contracts. The dollar VOL
ume was more than $4,000, 900 higher
than for October of 1899.
H. A. Johns, the Federal news
manager of Dodge Reports, COM
pleted his latest summary Of local
construction, yesterday, and COM
mented that the October improve
ment was credited to residential and
non.residentia1 building.
The significance Of last months
upward movement was heightened
by Mr.. Johns explanation that 1T
is based on actual contracts for
labor and materials. Contracts
are much more indicative Of houses.
