ZONING BOARD WILL GET GARAGE AMENDMENT VIEWS Public Hearing in Propo sal to Permit Their Con- struction in Apartment Houses Will Be Held December }1. A proposed amendment to the permit the construction of storage District zoning code, which would garages in apartment houses with- out the present necessity of obtaining consent from adjoining prop- erty owners, will be considered at & public hearing before the Zoning Commission December 11. The proposal is advanced and strongly urged by the Operative Builders’ Association, which declares the apartment structures would tend rovision of garages in to greatly reduce the number of automobiles now parked all night in the streets, where they cause serious traffic congestion. Consent now must be obtained from 75 per cent of all property owners in the square where it is proposed to establish such storage garages, and this provision has prevented the use of garages in a number of important cases where in opposition, the association content Pictures to Be Taken. In preparation for the hearing Rufus Lusk, secretary of the Operative Build- ers, wili hire a photographer in the next few days and take flashlight shots at rows of automobiles parked for the night in streets in congested apart- ment sections, to provide concrete evi- dence of the need for encouraging storage garages. Under the amendment as drafted by the executive office of the zoning com- mission, it would be provided that such garages must have the approval of the District Commissioners. The amendment, in reference to this safeguard, would read: “The Commis- sioners of the District of Columbia may deny approval of an application for permit to erect such public garages in the residential district if, after due pub- lic hearing held either on petition of residents or of property owners, or on the initiative of the Commissioners themselves, they find that the location of the proposed garage, of its entrances, or of its exits, is such as may cause dangerous or otherwise objectionable traffic conditions.” The garage amendment also is broadened to permit the establishment of garages in any building permitted in 8 first commercial district, without consent from adjoining property own- ers, with the same requirement that approval must be obtained from the District Commissioners. Stipulations Would Be Made. Also, it would be stipulated that in all apartment garages the floor area of the garage be not in excess of one- fourth of the total floor area of the llding used or designed for use of tenants. The purpose of this is to fore- stall any possible attempt at the con- struction of a building ostensibly as an apartment structure, but having but one or two units for apartment tenants and the remainder as a public garage. ‘The garages would be merely for stor- age purposes, no repair work being per- mitted, under the proposed amendment.

HOMES HERE RATED ON BETTER PLANE High Type of Residents Is Held Cause for Higher Scale of Houses. Houses erected in Washington by operative builders are constructed on a higher plane than comparable dwellings in any city of the country, Waverly Taylor, president of Waverly Taylor, Inc., declared this week in an address before the real estate forum at the Y.M.C. A. Explaining that homes in Washington probably would show & somewhat higher per cubic foot cost than in some other cities, Mr. Taylor said that aside from certain economic conditions, such as proximity to sources of raw material supplies and variances in wages and labor Washintgon home buyers de- manded more in home construction and appointments than almost any.other city in the country. No Industrial Class. “The population of Washington,” said Mr. Taylor, “has practically no so-called industrial class, and is made up largely of Government employes, professional men and women, scientists, specialists, high officials and others generally of a more cultured and educated class than most cities. A larger per capita wealth is enjoyed by Washington. These phases of Washington's population largely ac- count for the demand for the best in homes. Homes in Washington are actu- ally semi-furnished by the inclusion of conveniences, equipment and appoint- ments designed to beautify, reduce household labor and provide the maxi- mum of pleasure and comfort.” Describing the building business, Mr. Taylor said: “In Washington, next to the business of the Government, the building industry is the largest single business, and represents the largest an- nual investment eof > capital, averaging for construction alone $46,000,000 per year for the past 10 years. “The modern' operative builder must have an organization qualified and equipped to handle the purchase of land, the financing of such purchase and the actual fipancing of the entire develop- ment through to its completion, as well as technical skill and’ complete knowl- edge of the building business, and finally the ability to market successfully the homes when constructed. Builders Must Know. “The successful builder must know what to build and where to build, and especially he must keep in touch with | the development of architectural styles. | In this connection he considers the | tendencies of operative builders to ac- | quire large tracts in the suburban or rural areas where natural beauty and contour of the land can be preserved. This tendency gives the operative build- er an opportunity to plan his develop- ment with a vision of the future and to build a complete section harmoni- C | ous, symmetrical and of distinct indi- viduality.” At the next meeting of the .forum the subject of‘real estate appraising will be discussed by Willlam J. Flather, jr., for many years chairman of the appraisal committee of the Washington Real Es- tate Board. D.C.

A combination of Norman and early American architectural motifs is seen in the new home of A. F. Thelander, architect, which was completed recently on’ Rock Bprl.ng drive, in the Country Club section of nearby Virginia. The house is located on & hillside, overlook- ing the greens and fairways of the ‘Washington Golf and Country Club. The interior as well as the exterior of the dwelling is interesting in that the floor plan was laid so as to take full advantage of the vistas afforded by the location and to fit the house into its Sihe type living room, arge, square g 3 the studio typ'g“hbrlry. the entrance hall, the porch and master's bedroom all face the golf course and have large windows of varied types, giving the feeling of spaciousness and permitting view of the surrounding terrain. Rooms Given Different Levels. In fitting the house into its hillside site it was found advantageous to give different floor levels to some of the main rooms on first floor of the structure. This is a plan often fol- lowed merely for the purpose of adding interest and an informal effect to the interior of a dwelling. ‘The living room has a natural finish in the pine-paneled walls. This room has heavy exposed timbers in the ceil- ing and wide plank flooring. The same type of flooring is carried out in all first-floor rooms. The library has exposed rafters, stone fireplace and paneled wainscot and is fitted with a closet, built-in cupbcard, roller bed closet and bath. Thus it is equipped for a dual purpose, as a studio or library and as a guest bed- room. The dining room is colonial in de- sign. Prench doors open from the rear of this room onto a flagstone terrace, which overlooks an inclosed den at the rear of the house. garden has a rustic stone fountain and a re- flecting pool. Bedrooms Overlook Garden. The master’s bedroom on the front of the second story has French doors opening onto a balcony of wood, where chairs may be placed. There are three bedrooms and two baths on the second floor, in addition to the master bedroom. Two of these overlook the rear garden and the wooded area beyond. ‘The serving pantry, kitchen, service entry and servants’ rooms are all to the rear of the house on the main floor level. The kitchen is compact in de- sil having built-in mechanical re- fr tion, mechanical dishwasher, bk range, broom closet and dressers. In the basement is a two-car garage, & laundry room, servants’ bath and section for the heating plant. ‘The exterior of the house is of old brick, whitewashed, The roof is of slate. There is a stone terrace to the front and rear of the house, The dwelling was designed by Mr. Thelander and erected by the Brum- back Realty Co. REALTY BOARD NAMES ARBITRATION CHAIRMAN | John F. Maury, Past President, Se- lected as Head of Group to Settle Disputes. John F. Maury, a past president of the Washington Real Estate Board, has | been appointed chairman of the arbi- tration committes of the organization, it was announced today by Alfred H. Lawson, president. This committee, Mr. Lawson pointed out, has complete and final authority in handling and adjusting misunder- standings or disputes between members in the negotiation and consummation of real estate transactions. Funda- mentally, this is one of the most im- portant and personal services rendered toh;nembeu of the board, Mr. Lawson said. “A code of ethics subscribed to by all members of the board serves as a guide for the arbitration committee in arriv- ing at decisions in adjudicating differ- ences between members on a basis of fair and honorable dealing. Settlement of matters of this character arising be- tween members is accomplished in an amicable manner without resort to legal procedure and results in not only a saving to members but avoids the il will that frequently follows court ac- tions,” said Mr. Lawson. In addition to Mr. Maury another past president, Thomas E. Jarrell, to- gether with Theodore M. Judd, Morris Cafritz and Earl C. Lane complete the personnel of the committee. The ap- pointment of Mr. Lane as an associate member conforms to the policy of the board in giving recognition to the asso- ciate members division in the adminis- tration of this service.

The architectural design for the Na- tional City Christian Church, now be. ing erected on the northwest corner of Massachusetts avenue and Fourteenth str@et, overlooking Thomas Circle, has been “commended” by the Architect's Advisory Council, consisting of mem- bers of the local chapter of the Amer- ican Institute of Architects, who serve voluntarily, without pay.

With the trading floor and equip- ment’ all set for operations at.12 East Forty-first street, the exchange will be opened with speeches and a luncheon for 600 persons at the Hotel Biltmore, to be attended by realty and financial leaders and Government officials. “We believe the real estate men of New York will be playing their part in the national program of rehabilitat- ing business by opening the exchange without delay,” it is stateéd by Presi- dent Miller. Promoters of the real estate securi- ties exchange believe this new depar- ture in finance will have the effect of making realty bonds and stock issues more liquid and tend to stabilize realty financing. — C. & S.

SUBURBAN AREAS SHOWING GROWTH Survey of Five Typical American | Cities Develops Important Fea- tare of Home Ownership. The suburban areas of five typical | American cities, selected at random, ar | growing faster than the cities they ad- | join, and this is a good omen for home ! ownership, says the National Associa- tion of Real Estate Boards in its weekly story for the public. The suburban areas of 14 other smaller towns also are in- creasing faster than the adjacent cities, | savs the association. “Pessimists who declare that home life is declining in this kitchenette- delicatessen age should glance over the figures that show population growth far from the city’s roar, for apartment | houses are still rare occurrences in such areas,” says the real estate association. “And, although there are no figures at hand to show how many of our new suburban homes are rented and how many owned by their occupants, there is sufficient evidence that the desire to become home owners has driven enough of these new suburban dwellers out to the country to make another good case for home owning in America.” The cities whose suburban areas are growing more rapidly than their metro- politan districts are Chicago, St. Louis, Atlanta, Buffalo and Albany, N.

These specialized divisions, created In the realtors’ organizaticn last yea: are composed solely of the active mem- bership of the board and function as the board in all matters pertaining to their respective flelds of real estate As all active members of the board are automatically members of each division, the result of this form of organization is, in effect, three separate groups functioning as individual bodies whose acts are subject only to the ap- | proval of the executive committee of practice. the whole board. Among the board’s membership there are included realtor offices which spe- cialize almost exclusively in mortgage financing; others devote their major at- tention to property management; still others whose special type of activity general brokerage and some of the larger offices embrace all three branches of the real estate business.

Look to Constructive Needs. “The whole country is looking into its constructive building needs in a new way as a result of the conferences* Mr. Culver continued, and is coming te see what substantial ground there 1 for well planned, intelligent expansion and replacement to give business and industry its most efficient setting. There is in addition a real growth of public taste toward efficient and modern homes as instruments for happler and more efficient human living. “We feel the substantial ground un- der our feet in relation to our whole business and industrial situation.” The President’s conference was large. ly for the purpose of obtaining in. formation regarding the situation in different segments of business in the field of real estate and construction. Since the various branches of the con. struction industry are primarily service organizations in character, the confer. ence was chiefly for the purpose of determining the actual situation upon which sound construction must proceed, and to arrange for the industry's co- operation in undertaking the various projects which it is intended to launch as a part of the President’s program, Demand for Small Homes. It was stated at the conference by officials who have been making a sure vey of the residential building situation that _construction of this character fo1 the first 10 months of 1929 was aboui $710,000,000 below the figures for resi. dential buud{ng‘ for 1928.
