11 REAL STUDIES OF ZONING MADE BY BUILDERS Work Has Resulted in Major Changes Being Recommend- ed to Authorities. Outstanding in the work of the Op- erative Builders’ Association during 1920 | — ware technical studies of zoning prob- | lemhs, resulting in recommendations o Digtrict autheritics for major changes ini the code; apartment vacancy and holising surveys, made as guides to new colstruction; recommendations concern- ing lfilnlslrltlon of the building de- | tmefits of the District government and co-operation with Ths Star in the anhual model homes pregram Major attention has been directed by | the ‘association to zoning matters, and Rufus S. Lusk, the executive secretary of.the organization, was sent on a tour of pine cities to make a study of zoning administration and effects in those | places s the basis of suggestions for | changes in the local code. The association has recommended specifically that the zoning office have 2 proper staff to carry on its work and t a zoning board of adjustmenl’,l should be created. The proposals have been indorsed in principle by several trade and civic organizations and by the zoning advisory committee. Not Passed Yet. A the request of the association the | Zoning Commission granted a hearing on {he amendment to permit the in- stallation «f garages in apartmen: . houses without the present necessity of obtaining consents of adjoining prop- erty owners. In first commercial areas this plan was adopted, but owing to a clerjcal error it has not been passed as yef.for apartment houses. The association now is endeavoring to;get a hearing to permit the erection of .90-foot buildings in the 60-foot height area by having the building cover less ground and thus increasiny but, slightly the bulk of buildings upon the lot. This would give far more de- sirable buildings from the standpoint of the builder, investor and renter, and would also afford more light and air to | surrounding property, it is contended. ‘The statistical work of the association, in reference to building, is beginning to be_known outside of Washington. In the reéent survey of vacant apartments the Deépartment of Commerce observed the m&mmu of gathering the information with the view of using its best points fot ‘establishing a standard system to be used in other cities, -- Ask Reorganization. District authorities were petitioned to ‘reorganize the departments so as to facilitate the transaction of business at the District Building. This may not ESTATE.

This demonstration was a success from the standpoint of exemplifying befter architecture and awakening the interest of thousands of people in home ownership.

They are always useful and the initial cost of putting are s0 many rooms, of different shapes and- sizes, and usually the bedrooms must conform to the shape and design of the house. But there are certain ideas which may be useful. ©One of the most important things 1o be considered is the placing of the beds. I always try to place them so that- one does not face the window. After all, a bedroom is a place to sleep and many persons cannot sleep in the fi'fif morning if they are facing the ight. There should not be a cross draft on a bed. It may be delightful in hot Sutnmer nights, but with the sudden changes that often happen in tem- perature and as frequently bedrooms hate to be turned into sick rooms, the location of the bed away from drafts is an advantage. If living in a hot or el rate climate, it is an advantage to Bave bedrooms with a double ex- pos@e. This gives a through draft in hot Jweather and helps to ventilate the Toor at all seasons. Don’'t have too many windows in your bedrooms. Likewise, avoid too many doors. The reason for this is that Yyou: must have wall space for bureaus, chests of drawers, chairs and other furniture. If a bath connects with thé 0om you are practically forced to have three doors in your room, and it it has two sides with windows, that Wik mean two windows at the least. ‘This makes five openings, and these opedings will take away quite a lot of wal} space.

In discussing the subject of home sclling from the view: point of the operative builder, Mr. Tay- lor said, “the greatest need of the sales- man is more intelligent service to clients.” Among the fundamental requisites for rendering successful service, a knowl- edge of at least the varlous types of ar- chitecture and an understanding of the fundamentals of materials and construc- tion were necessary, Mr. Taylor said. Analyzing the needs, requirements and limitations of a prospective home . | buyer before any definite effort is made to suggest a particular house or loca- tion, Mr. Taylor said, would result in more efficient and intelligent service and a tremendous saving in time. Speed in modern-day Mr. Taylor asserted, is not the result of construction, shoddy, haphazard methods but is ac- | complished through efficiency in man- agement. Citing the new Internal Reve- nue Building as an illustration, Mr. Tay- lor saild representatives of the Govern- ment calculated that two and one-half | years would be required to complete the structure and the contract was let out on that basis. Later changes in the plans resulted in adding two months to the time limit. work indicates the building will be com- pleted in approximately one year and | four months. Modern equipment, new materials, skilled labor, rapid transportation nnd" specialized building organizations are | some of the reasons why homes can be | well built today in much less time than was possible before these facilities were avaliable, he declared. OREGON COURT RULES OUT “HIGH-POWER” CONTRACT Promise of Quick Resale at Profit | Called Misrepresentation and Refund Ordered. The Supreme Court of Oregon has upheld the judgment of a lower court ordering rescission of a contract to pur- chase land and the refund of payments already made toward the purchase on the grounds that false representations, the promises of resale of the property at a profit within four weeks of the purchase, if the buyer so desired, were made by an agent of the defendant when, at the time, there was no inten- tion of fulfilling the promise. The National Association of Real Estate Boards points out that this court decision is another step in line with the recent ruling of the Georgia Real Estate Commission, that the “lecture, luncheon and promise of resale at a profit” sys- tem of selling real estate was grounds for revecation of a broker’s license, and that such a decision is progress toward the further establishment of high ethics in real estate dealings. ‘The Oregon court states in its opinion that, although ordinarily false promises are not fraudulent, nor evidence of fraud, yet, when one promises another to do something in the future as an in- ducement for the latter to part with his money, having no intention at the time to perform the promise, the transaction is fraudulent.

Early in the year the board adopted {an amendment to the by-laws creation, creating three divisions to function as the board in their respective fields: Property management, brokers and the mortgage and finance divisions. The same amendment provided for- mally for a sales managers’ section un- der the brokers' division. The three divisions are made up of active mem- bers. There is also an assoclate divi- sion. Revises Brokers' License Measure. ‘The board made a revised draft of the real estate brokers’ license measure, revamping the national model law, which is the basis of similar laws now in operation in 25 States, and the bill was introduced in Congress by Sena- tor Capper, chairman of the Senate District committee. i Services to members of the realtors' board were conducted during the year under which up-to-date information regarding zoning, titles, assessments and other statistics were made avail- able.

PEIPING (#)—One hundred thou- sand school teachers will be needed in Hopel province (formerly Chihli) for the enforcement of the compulsory edu- cation laws, says a report of the edu- cation department. The report esti- mates there are 3,000,000 illiterate chii- dren in this area. The total population of the province is calculated to range from 28,000,000 to 32,000,000, Hopei being the thira largest province in China. At present therz are but 700,000 children in school, says the report. The committee reckons that approximately $25,000,000 will be required to carry out the educational prcgram. It is planned to start schools first in the cities and gradually extend the teaching system to the villages. 1n the beginning the children of the weli- to-do_and the middle classes will be considered for the varlous classes, ana as more funds become available the scheme will be carried into the country districts and in the end children ot the poor will be given an education.

ARCHITECTS BOOST CAPITAL'S BEAUTY {Activities of Local Chapter| During Past Year Are Recounted. ‘The local chapter of the American Institute of Architects during the past year intensified its efforts for improve- ment of the architectural appearance of the National Capital, both by center- ing public attention on the matter and by co-operative professional work. Two of the outstanding activitles were continuation on a more exacting plan of the work of the Architects’ Ad- visory Council, through which volun- teer juries of architects make studies of designs for new buildings, recom- mending changes where deemed nec- et , and the formation of the Allied Architects, Inc., an association of prom- inent local architects who rollaborate on_development projects here. The chapter also has been ective in its studies of zoning problems of the city, representatives serving cn the zon- ing advisory committee which makes recommendations to the Zcning Com- mission. Plan Headquarters Building. ‘The architects now have under con- sideration a headquarters building for the architectural profession, in which there would be complete sample rooms of the type which has existed for sev- eral years in New York and now is be- ing prepared in Philadelphia. Among other activities were partici- pation in the sixty-second convention of the American Institute of Architects, held here, which was devoted for the most part to development of the Na- tional Capital. The conventivn went on record supporting the Cramton measure for the asquisition of extensive areas for park developments and for the Shipstead bill for the regulation of the character and appearance of pri- vate bullding projects facing or nearby certain Government areas. ‘The Allied Architects was, to some extent, an outgrowth of the idea of the advisory couneil, in which the benefit of exchange of opinions of members of the same profession was demonstrated in stvdies and the rendering of free suggestions regarding building plans re- viewed by the council. Means of Correction, ‘The allied organization provides a means of correction of plans, vnder contract, before plans are completed, whereas the advisory council passes upon plans after completion, the bene- fit here being commendation of good plans which are brought into public attention. ‘The advisory council work, however, is regarded in the profession as one of the outstanding public services of the chapter. During the year this work was intensified by edoption of a new pro- cedure under which designs for proj- ects are divided into five class. thus making awards for plans design “distinguished,” ‘“‘commended, proved,” “average” and “disapproved.” The distinguished rating is given cnly by a board of review, on recommenda- tion of the weekly juries.
