Eleven states have passed zoning enabling acts modeled either wholly or in part on the standard state zon- ing act drafted by an advisory com mittee to the Department of Com merce, on which committee the Na- tional Association of Real Estate Boards was represented. This prog- ress toward insuring the permanence of zoning results has been made within a year of the issuance of the act in preliminary form, according to a statement of the Department of Commerce accompanying announce- ment of the publication of the model measure in its finished form. Similar acts have also becn intro- duced in four states, with the pros- pect of more to follow. Irving B. Hiett, Toledo, Ohio, chairman of the National Association’s zoning commit- tee, represented the association on the department’s advisory committee. Edward M. Bassett of New York, was chairman of th Other STAR, WASHINGTO! ATURDAY, JULY 19 1924 REAL ESTATE 1 3 oy ) 9, 24. : members are John M. Gries, Washing- ton, D.

Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover comments on the reception which the model enabling act has re- celved, as follows: “The dlacovery that it is practical, by city soning, to carry out reason- able neighborly agreements as to the use of land has made an almost in- stant appeal to the American people. Recent court decisions, both adverse and favorable to zoning, serve to em- phasize the need of the most careful attention to the state laws which per- mit cities and other municipalities to adopt zoning ordinances. Such acts must not only stand the test of con- stitutionality in tneir own state courts, but are sometimes carried to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Philip Pitt, secretary of the Real Estate Board of Balti- more. An example is found in the $100,000,000 estate” of the late Henry C. Frick, steel magnate. His property was composed of real estate, stocks, bonds and other securities, “According to the. sworn report filed by his executors in the Orphans’ Court at Pittsburgh, the value of the estate at the time of death was $100,- 000,000. Between that period and th time of distribution .among his heirs there was a shrinkage of $20,000,000 in stocks and bonds, while the real | 2 estate was sold at a price far in ex- cess of the inventoried value, which was only $3,500,000. |¥ “Locate a good piece of real estate, | pay for it, keep it, and it will keep | you.” is the sound advice which every realtor can give the investor and|stop celebrating prové the soundness of his above shown London Mail men | Cause for Celebration. never know when advice with long lists of facts such as th by the court records I refused him he's been I e et e A Thorough Inspection of This Very Desirable, Exceptionally Well Built and Planned Residence Will Convince You of Its Real Value 608 E street northwest; $10,000. listed 1s an est; $10,000 The largest project apartment house to be erected at |~ 1613 Harvard street by H.
