John A. Petty, executive secretary of the Washington Real Estate Board, has received coples of Mr. Hoover's | request and of an explanatory let- ter from Don D. Gross, dlrector of Tesearch of the National Association of Real Estate Boards. The Commerce Secretary, address- mud ples on the front steps. “Yet many American cities do the same sort of thing when they allow stores to crowd in at ran- dom among private dwellings and factories and public garages to come elbowing in among neat re- tail stores or well kept apartment houses. Cities do no better when they allow office buildings so tall and bulky and so closely crowded that the lower floors not only be- come too dark and unsa‘isfactory for human use, but for that very reason fail to earn a fair cash re- turn to the individual investors. “‘Live and let live’ is a better motto for the modern city than the savage one of ‘Dog eut dog.’ “It is this stupid, wasteful jumble which-zoning will prevent signed to accommodate the demand for special appliances. % The association has a committee which has the guestion of conven: ience outlets in charge, and this com- mittee probably will present a report ! covering the subject. . The various as- isociations of the electric industry !have gone on record in favor of pro- moting the use of the outlets, for rea- ( sons- ot only of convenience, but of safety. % | The Potomac. Electric Power Com- i pany is planning to send the follows« ing delegates to the conventlon: H. A. Brooks, mapager of the commer~ cial _department; L. E.

Eastman can well afford to sell a kodak at cost because of the great source of income in films and supplies. Another illustration is the phonograph. A plano would go in group 2, a phonograph would also go in group 2, but phonograph rec- ords would go in group 3. The Victor company has made its great- est profits on the records rather than on the phonographs. This fact is very interesting when looking over the stock market, because you will see that the most profitable stocks are those of companies like Gillette, Ko- dak and Victor, all of which come under this third group. John L. Weaver, former president of the National Association, will par- tictpate in the deliberations ‘of the advisory council, while H. L. Rust will represent the local board in the ex- ecutive committee meetings. One of the | Important group conferences will be ad dressed by Thomas Bradley, vice presi dent of the Washington Loan and Trust Company, who will discuss the subject } of real estate appraisals.
