Open -Samrdsy Afterncens | DISCUSSE ETHCS AMONG REALTOR Attorney Hogan Tells Board Code Must Be Most Rigid- ly Enforced. Future success of the Washington Real Estate Board ,depends on ef- fective operation of the arbitration committee whose duties are to adjust differences between brokers and the public and between the brokers themselves, in the opinion of Frank J. Hogan of the local “bar, who ad- dressed members of the board at their luncheon this week. Mr. Hogan took as his topic “Real- tors' Ethis” He referred to the noticeable improvement in the char- acter of the real estate business as conducted today and lald stress on the value of ethics in the profession. He said, however, that ethics could ;only accomplish good by the universal acceptance of these fundamental principels by the entire membership ! of the board, and stated that in orderj ito make a system of ethical prac-! !tice effective the board should be diligent ‘in banishing from its ranks any broker who refused to abide by the requirements of the board. In cornection with-the arbitration work undertaken recently, Mr. Hogan pointed out that each member should cheerfully agree to arbitrate any dif-! ference and willingly. abide by the! decision of the committee. In reach- ing a decislon ghe committee should be uated by 2 desire to establish a basis. of fair dealing between brokers and the public and among themselves, he said. < It was announced that Edmund D. Rheem has been appointed chairman of the luncheon committee for the ensuing year. The appointment was made by Hariy K. Boss, president of the board George Christian, sec- retary to Prealdent Harding, briefly remarked at the lunoheon that the Pres:dent's policy of “less govern- ment in business and more business in gove nment”. was announced in all sincerity. 31 HOMES ARE SOLD Joe C.

A<Project That Should Be Consid- ered in New Works’ Program. To the Editor of The Star: 1 have read with Interest the seven recommendations. of the bridge com- mittee of the Board of Trade, con- tained in your issue of the 29th in- stant, relative to appropriations for bridge projects in this District. It is noticeable therein that six proposed expenditures are in' the northwest section, one in the northeast sectionm, but none in the southeast or south- west sections. One of the most imperative de- mands In this connectfon is the pro- | posed South Capitol Street bridge, which receives no attention from this committee, petition is in existence, sign | the largest mercantile establishments | in this District, recommending to ’Consrus an appropriation therefore, !and that:Senator B&ll had introduced bills to this end (S. 9, inclusive) i ih furtherance of Senator Gallinger's | 4recognmon of this need (0\nrelued !in document No. 183 H: R., Fifty- 'tourt.h Congress, first ‘session). When we consider conditions of ' unemployment, the desirability of public improvements—as a stimulus; to private improvements—of a per- manent nature, the need of estab- lishing better land communications between the National Capital and: southern Maryland, and the better- ing of housing conditions, it will be apparent. that the South Capitol Street bridge ‘projeét outweighs in | impartance the combined nven prop- { commi "°c°'e'§.“‘°§3§fa oFmiage.

Two houses, the beginning of a group -of forty homes. will be started next week in Lyon Park, Va, by a local investor, who has just com- pleted the purd‘ase of eighty lots in the new suburb. When the initial two buildings are well under way, another small group will be begun, and building operations will continue until the entire forty dwellings are completed, it is announced by Ruby Lee Minar, sales manager for Lyon Pnrk “The pur(‘hua of this large parcel of lots,” said Mrs. Minar, “Is one of the striking evidences of the stimulaition of interest in nearby Virginia prop- erty which has been furnished by the ex‘ensive highway improvements un- dertaken in Arlington county both by the government and by the county authorities. -“Many -of these improvements are now under way or near completion, and others are in early prospect. The government, as indic.ted in President Harding’s request for estimates from Col. Clarence O. Sherrill. proposes to spend from $3,000,000 to $10,000,000 in the construction of the Lincoln Memorial bridge, which will join the Dis‘rict of Columbia with Arlington county at a point about midway be- tween the prese.t Highway bridge and the new Key bridge. An ade- quate highway leading from the brldxe into Arlington county will fol- ow s a matter of course. “The importance of these new proj- ects can ardly be overestimated. A glance at the map of Washington will show that with the completion of *he new highways and bridges residents of Arlington county will be able to enter Washington over fine paved roads. at Georgetown over the new Key bridge, over the new Lin- coln Memorial bridge at the Lincoln Memorial, and at 14th street over the present Highway bridge.” $10,000 000 IN CREDIT.
