There is a contest pending careful study is apparent to realtors, and the work of this committee is ex- pected to produce good results. Changes in the zoning regulations are constantly being considered by the zoning commission. The real es- tate board, representing the Interests of the property owners as well as the be actively interested in this matter, the secretary states. A special com- mittee on zoning, consisting of real- tors who are thoroughly familiar with the law and interested in the develop- ment of our city, will co-operate with the officials of the zoning commission in the matter of investigation and ad- vice as to changes that are suggested from time to time. ~ Legislative Committee. Heretofore there has been no definite or systematic study given to matters of legislation and taxatlon which vitally affect the property owner. A special committee of reaitors will be formed for the purpose of making a close study of all proposed legislation affecting real estate in the District of Columbia with the idea of presenting to Congress or the Commissioners defi- nite and constructive suggestions which will aid in the framing and enactment of laws pertaining to real estate. Such a committee would be especially qualified by experience and acres situated on road, four miles below Alexandria. Va., in Fairfax county, was sold th week for David A. Baer to J. C. Love.

One of the prominent deals was the created, This committee will act in an informal way in adjusting these matters that come before te: board and will apply the standard code of ethics and practices adopted by the National Association 6f Real Estate Boards. In this way the practice of Treal estate is gradually being stand- ardized and placed on a high ethical basis, it is explained, Inasmuch as the lufficheon meetings of the board have proved successful an_enlarged committee will be ap- pointed to take up this work. It is the intention in this way to develop these meetings to produce the highest pos- sible_good to the members and the board, the secretary asserts. Standardized Forms. In the actual practice of real estate. much as in the practice of law, cer- tain forms have gradually been de- veloped, and it is hoped that by a sys- tematic study a special committee on forms will be able to gradually standardize forms. At the present time there is already in existence a standard form sale contract as well as The place adjoins Mount Vernon and is separated from it by the double ditches dug by George Washington. About half of the 725 acres is in val- uable timber and the other half in cultivation. There is a large house of ten rooms, a commodious barn, a dairy barn for forty cows, corn barn, outhouses, two tenant houses and other numerous improvements. The sale was nego- tiated through the office of John F. Maury. Three additional transactions com- pleted bring the total of les in this office for the week to $127.500. The northwest corner of 35th and Lowell streets, an attractive bunga- low, containing eight rooms and three baths, was sold to Dr. Sinclair Bowen, who will occupy it as his resi- close contact with real estate and its jdevelopment to render valuable assist- ance to the authorities in presenting facts derived from careful, systematic study. A standing committee on public affairs which would be somewhat of a civic committee is also proposed. It is thought that such a committee could assist property owners in over- coming objectionable features that may develop in sections, to the detri- ment of real estate values. The work of this committee would be broad enough in scope to cover any matter of a civic character such as the recent handling of the housing situation in connection with the coming confer- ence.
