Special Dispateh to The Star. CLARENDON, Va., February 16— The erection of a bullding at South Clarendon and Taylor avenues for the Clarendon Methodist Church, to cost $50,000, has been started. In an effort to have the building completed a number of men of the congregation have volunteered several hours of manual labor a day. In this they are -being ably assisted by Rev. Charles I Flory, pastor of the church. The women, also, are doing their share. A Ladles’ Ald Soclety has been formed and the members are devising various means of raising funds. In connection with a drive for $20,- 000, which, it is stated, will be neces- sary for completion of the Sunday school part of the church, for immedi- ate use, the finance committee has,re- cently reorganized its teams.

C, SATURDAY, Real Estate Boards Outline Activities on Special Lines PROBE Grand Jury Inquiry Into4 Activi-| Dried Bird Foretold Boer and World Conflicts by Be- Plans for the attraction of new industries into cities, plans aimed at Insuring intrinsic value to the home- buyer, plans to further the fullest and safest utilization of investment funds for the housing of the nation— these-are some of the detalls of the program to be undertaken for the year 1924 by the seven specialized natfonal divisions within the National Association of Real Estate Boards. While the national assoclation acts as a general clearing house for real estate activities for the United States and Canada, the divisions have un- dertaken to draw togéther for na- tional interchange of ideas men in tho seven specialized fields of farm land dealing, industrial property de- velopment, home building and subdl- viding, property management, broker- age, mortgage Investment and the organization of real estate boards. A study of comparative values of industrial real estate, covering the entire country, is under preparation in the industrial division of the asso- ciation. The division plans also to be of practical assistance to commu- nities in the laying out of specialized industrial_districts, the arrangement of railroad trackage to best serve the districts and the proper zoning of their industries. Mothods of attracting new indus- tries to a city will be studied by a special committee. Other committees will develop Intercity exchange of business in industrial properties and the accurate and complete evaluation of this type of property. Farm Land Dealers’ Influence., Influence of the growing organiza- tion of farm land dealers within the national assocation will be thrown to the support of the movement to make the country mot only a more profitable but a more attractive pla to live, the firstqannual report of the farm land division indicates. Wo of the dbvision to establish the facts in_regard to national farm land values is already exerting an influ- ence on the farm lands market, the report states. . The home bullders and subdividers division of the national association in its one year of operation has gone a long way toward raising the standard of the subdivision business, its an- nual report brings ou ‘Ways and means of financing the; development of new city units, proper planning of new city areag and substantial provi- slon for their healthy growth will be the subject of the division's work for 02 -"{i'» believe that eventually th New Detached Home Only 1 Left In Our New Subdivision 1026 Girard St. N.E.

The property management division of the national association in its an- nual report brings out the fact that cost of operationtand maintenance of great business bulldings has risen so tremendously that it is only by using the most efficient management that buildings can return a suitable in- come. The development of standard forms for the renting business and the col- lection of data for cities all over the country as to front-foot values in the best retail locations will be features of this division’s work for the com- ing year. It will continue to aid municipalities in the formation of or- dinances affecting equitable adjust- ment as hetween the rights of ten- ants on the one hand and the rights of property owners on the other. Cornerstone for Brokers, The brokers' division is taking as its cornerstone the proposition that when a man engages to act as broker for another he is bound to act for the best interests of that other per- son, and is barred, g0 long as that relation of agency exists, from acting on his own account for his own ad- vantage in that matter.
