REALTY BOARD Report to National Conven- tion Receives First | Mention. | Development of the Washington Real Estate Board from the compara- tively inactlve group of realtors of a year ago into one of the leading real estate boards of the country is outlined in the report filed by John A. Petty, executlve secretary of the local board, at the recent convention in San Francisco of the National As- sociation of Real Estate Boards. It is customary at these annual conventions for the boards through- |’ out the country to file a report of achlevements during the year. These reports are filed with the achieve- ment committes and a stlver trophy cup Is awarded to the board that pro- the best report. In judging the competitive reports credit is pro- portionately allowed for accomplish- ments deemed of benefit to the board itself, the public In general and the national association. H The report filed by the Washington Real Estate Board, which received first honorable mention in the con- test, covered the work done during the ‘past year since the local board established permanent offices. Dur- ing the year, the report sets forth, membership in the board was ex- tended to include salesmen and prop- erty owners. Active members’ dues were materially increased, but, not- withstanding this, the active mem- bership has increased and the addi- tion of assoclate members has more than doubled the total membership. Luncheons Inaugurated. Coincident with the appointment of an executive secretary and the es- tablishment of permanent offices, was a pronounced development of new in- erest in the realty fraternity. A program of committee activities and the inauguration of regular lunch- . and board meetings created a lively enthusiasm among the mem- bers” which has resulted In the ac- complishment of definite aims. Through the work of an arbitration co-operation be- en members is steadily increasing tw ind the adoption of standard ethical ness on a more professional basis. Special interest has been shown in the educational work conducted by the board. Meetings at which the salesmen members were present have been held regularly and subjects per- taining to the fundamentals of real estate work, legal responsibility and hics have been discussed by com-: tent speakers.

With the announcement today of the le of the pioneer Farragut apartment house, 900 17th street, cor- ner of I street, to Francis H. Duehay, its builder, came the disclosure that Mr. Duehay plans to remodel the seven-story structure into a modern office bullding. The property was purchased about eighteen years ago from Mr. Duehay by the estate of James D. Oliver of Pittsburgh, Pa., and has been held by this estate since that time. A con- sideration of $450,000 was named In the deed. The transaction was han- dled through the office of Randall H. Hagner & Co. The building is of fireproof con- struction. It has a frontage on 17th street of 120 feet and on I street of 75 feet. There are approximately sev- enty apartments in the bujlding. floor, with offices above. The Farragut is the latest residen- tial property in this vicinity to be en- gulfed in the tide of business. which is séeking an outlet In this direction from downtown congestion. Prop- erty along H, I and K streets. from 14th street to Connecticut avenue, formerly was almost exclusively resi- dential in character, but with the past few years the entire appearance of the section has changed. The old residences, which formerly housed some of the city’s ploneer citi- zens, have either been completely razed to make way for office build- ings, stores, hotels, etc., or they have been extensively remodeled into busi ness structures. For example, the old Warder home, at 15th and K streets, is soon to be displaced by a ten-story hotel; the Corcoran residence, at Co necticut avenue and H street, has been torn down by contractors en- gaged to erect the new home of the Tnited States Chamber of Commerce, and many less historical houses have fallen before the onslaught of in- vestors. NEW COLONY ON BAY. Land at Deep Cove Divided Into House Lots. Opening of another bay summer cot- tage colony, Deep Cove, about thirty- four miles from Washington, was an- nounced today by Philip G. Affleck. The resort comprises fifty-eight acres, which will be subdivided into 450 lots. Roadways will be cut through and a public dock will be constructed. Attractions will include a public park, a base ball diamond, {tonnis courts, croquet grounds, salt water fishing, crabbing and boating. Three springs are on the property. Four houses already have been erected. The colony is reached by way of Marlboro, turning right at the teahouse ten miles beyond the county seat. Signs point the way from that poin! e house of frame construction, having | improvements. It is situated on a lot | about 200 feet deep. A house at 2514 Hall place north- west was sold to Frank L.

Appearance of a building is one of the seven factors to be considered in & construction operation, according te Noble Foster Hoggson, member of the Assoclated Contractors of Amer- ica, whose analyses of building proj- ects have been quoted recently. Of the seven factors—cost, arrange- ment, appearance, decoration, sta- bility, speed in construction and serv- ice to owner—appearance, Mr. Hogg- son points out, is too often given first place in the public's consideration. While it is one of the three most im- portant factors, appearance should rank after “cost” and ‘ar- every proposed structure must be regarded first, last and al- ways as fundamentally financial |investment, its success as uch will rest primarily upon its cost in rela- tion to its service to occupants, or, in other words, its a. ngement,” he asserts, Nevertheless, with these two ele- ments adequately studied and pro- vided for, the question of appearance becomes at once next in importance. : Best Architects Specialists. ‘There are many classes of build- ings and many periods and types of architects, Few, if any, architects {comprehend the practical require- lmenl.l of all classes of bufldings: {few. if any. are masters of the com- plete architectural art. The best architects are usually specialists in the cla of buildings upon which they work, and frequently in the periods of design they employ.

Investment Phases. “To impart to a bullding the most ad- vantageous qualities in deslgn calls for larchitectural talent of high order: it also | requires knowledge of the investment phase of building. Therefore, {n a build- ing operation the only way by which the owner can be sure, in advance, that the building when delivered will be correct is 10 be sure that the architectural de- signs are prepared by those who know intimately the class of building in ques- tion, both from the standpoint of de- sign and the practical side of its can- struction. In every city there are build- ings which as investments are losing proposition, because they were de- signed without due regard to their location, " purpose and the eftects of ‘Appearance, therefore. is not the simple question of creating a design which the owner will like. but of ar- riving at this result with due regard to all the other factors which affect the investment value and commercial life of a building.” JREE Massachusetts looms last year pro- duced woolens enough to make a blanket one mile long and thirty- iseven miles wide.
