ESTATE. javennn License Seekers Need Educational Test, Expert Says An educational test for all per- | sons applying for licenses to sell real | estate must be the mext great for- ward step in legislation to protect the real estate buying public. ~This is the belief of Glenn D. Willaman | of Los Angeles, expressed in an ad- | dress before the States Council of the National Association of Real Estate Boards. Mr. Willaman is secretary of the California Real Estate Association. | In conjunction with the National Associai‘on of Real Estate Boards he has recently completed a searching survey of the license laws now in force throughout the country. “An educational test should be made mandatory.” said Mr. Willa- man, “but it should be put into ef- tect gradually. At present only four States require a written examina- tion, New York, New Jersey, Cali- fornia and Ohio. In Wisconsin the law permits the commissioner to re- quire an examination, but it may be oral.” At present 22 States and one and 4, square 2013); to cost $300. Canadian province have real estate license jaws. More than 56,000,000 people live within the States where such laws are in force. It is already established in the minds of people who are studying the situation, ac- cording to Mr Willaman, that the public is getting bigger value and better protection from its license laws in those States where the laws demand that a man shall know some- thing abcut his business. and builders: to make repairs. 3056 K street (lot 805, square 1173); to cost | $500.

In New York Cil as stated by Mr. Herndon, the average density has been computed at 30.8 persons per acre. “From a recent statistical study of comparative densities here and abroad, attention is called to the housing standard adopted by England. The maximum is 12 families to the acre in smaller cities, and in larger cities not to exceed 16 families or 80 persons to the acre. In New York it is not un- usual to have 1,000 to 4,000 persons to the acre.” In order to solve the density prob- lem, Mr. Herndon urges that the gov- erning body of the city of the first class should be emvowered to regulate and limit the height and bulk of all structures and the density of both res dential and business populations.
