BY ROGER W. Babson

Babson Park, Fla, Mar. 24-Dur-
ing World .saT :. prices OF city
real estate remained almost sta
tionary; but between 1910-1920 the
value Of farm lands doubled. Az
ter the last war. we had from
l920-1926 a great industrial boom
and city land prices greatly in
creased. Farm workers migrated
to city industrial jobs at that time
and farm prices dropped, This re-
suited in a tremendous slump in
the value OF farm land and lower
crop prices.
During World War II prices for
city rents have increased about
eight per cent; but with prices OF
agricultural products nearly 80 per
cent above prewar levels. We again
have greatly hated farm land
values. Will history repeat, or
reverse, the relative position Of
farm and urban property?
City Booms and Current Trends
Booms are usually preceded by
a rise in the net income Of real
properties and a subsequent rise
in the sale prices of existing build
ings. This stimulates new build
and is followed by a demand for
vacant land on which to build new
properties There results an over
supply of homes, apartments,
stores, hotels and Offices. Rents.
fall and new construction no long
er becomes profitable. The de-
mand for land drops and sales
prices fall. This is the real estate
cycle
l 700 OF $50 cities, real estate
prices have risen about 1870 in the
past two years. In Chicago, it Is
reported that apartment buildings
increased in sales prices about
5000 a room from 1886 to the mid
die of 1913. There has since been
a further rise OF l0ct-l5ee. Not
withstanding rent control, New
York has seen rising price for
apartment buildings. In Boston,
there is a great demand for these
properties at prices we'll above
conservative values. In Miami, for
similar structures, prices have in
creased 25Gc-35Go in the last three
years.
What About Vacant City Land?
There has been very little price
increase in vacant city land dur
ing World War II. Postwar de-
mand for suburban home sites has
increased slightly the price OF land
near some large cities. The fear
of initiation has helped the sale Of
small farms but not yet the sale or
city property. In most cities, the
assessed value OF land has not been
sufficiently Debated from the peak
prices Of the eos to warrant inter
est.

BabsOn Looks For Initiation
Between Years of l95O-l955

It takes a generation to recover
from a collapse in city real estate
such as occurred in New York
from l929-1932. Improved real
estate-that is land with buildings
still sells at prices below the
reproduction cost, less deprecia.
ton. Hence. no income is left
for the land. AS a result, there is
no pressing demand for new city
space which in turn would absorb
land values and lead to a land
boom.
Bs is for a Real Estate Boom
A population rise might boom
city real estate However, the ma.
tons rate OF growth, and par
ticularly urban population. has
been falling. The trend to the
suburbs should increase after the
war. Improved transit facilities
may result in suburban living out
pacing residential growth in the
cities.
Well-managed cities with effici-
ent traffic controls, handy sub
ways and honest assessments may
see a rising demand for city homes
New domestic conveniences and
an increase in domestic employees
may help cities regain their popul-
arity. City real estate has been so
Icing depressed there may be a
natural swing in the other direc-
ton; but now see no convincing
signs thereof.
After the War
Individuals concerned over the ma
tional debt and over the value OF
tLeir savings, now totaling $780,
600. 100000, may be drawn to tang,-
BILE properties. This is now noted
in the demand by city jewellers
for small farms. City real estate
may follow in turn. Much depends
upon the peoples attitude toward
initiation. AS a part of the infla-
tionary process, city real estate
may again boom; but John Q. Pub
lie has not yet got frightened.
7 therefore, now foresee no boom
in either city or farm lands direct
ly following the war. II. however.
you plan to build a home in the
suburbs of some city after the
war you may we'll buy your land
and make your plans now. Other
wise, perhaps you better wait until
the postwar slump
Another thing Although infla.
ton should sometime help the price
of all real estate. vet during the
next few years initiation will be
only gradual as it has been during
the past. 1t will take a violent
initiation scare to boost real estate
p ices and such may not come
until l950-1955.

FOR NURSES
GOES UNHEEDED

Wilmington was unable to re"
spond to an appeal from the Char.
lotte chapte. of the American Red
Cross for nine nurses to assist IN
nursing infantile paralysis cases
in the Queen City because OF the
local shortage of nurses. The ap-
peal, however, is still In effect.
Although widespread appeal for
nurses has been circulated in Viii.
mington by way of the press and
radio, Mrs. H. E. Bollinger, Sec
rotary of the Nurses Recruiting
committee, today said there has
been no response"
Appriced Of the critical nurse
shortage in Charlotte. where 70 pa.
tients have been admitted to Me.
mortal hospital, DR.. A. H. Elliot.
city.county health officer. said:
wye do not have any nurses to
lend Charlotte. We don't have any
to spare and none prepared to ad-
minister the Kenney treatment.
Some of our nurses are now on
vacation" =
James Walker Memorial hospit-
al, which has had it's own nursing
problems. had practically the same
answer to the Red Crosc appeal.
Superintendent George Darden re-
ported 1--WE can't furnish any nurs-
es to Charlotte
Appeals by the Red Cross to pri-
vate nurses, the Housing Authority
CT the City of Wilmington. the
North Carolina Shipbuilding com.
pany and the Nurses register re-
ceived the same reply, I'VE can't
spare any nurses"
In an attempt to further stimu.
Late interest in helping fight the
paralysis epidemic in the western
part of North Carolina, Mrs. Ida
B Speiden, Red Cross secretary,
asserted I'VE would rather fight
this epidemic now in Charlotte than
fight it later in Wilmington"
While the appeal for nurses to
serve in Charlotte hospitals re-
manned unanswered by Wilmington
the Red Cross and the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
Joined with state and Charlotte
health authorities in taking meas
ures to cope W t h poliomyeilitis
cases reported from nine western
North Carolina counties.
None Of the 20 polio patients reg
istered at Chariotte's Memorial
hospital were from Mecklenburg
county, but the Charlotte City
Board of Health, apparently alarm
ed, was called into special session
to consider the situation.
Any nurse willing and able to
help in this emergency is asked
to contact Mrs. Bollinger by phcn-
ing 1890, or by calling Red Cross
headquarters, 2-2683.
