REAL ESTATE.’ * CITY'S FUTURE SEEN IN BUILDERS" SKILL {Address of Head of Chamber of Commerce Says Fore- sight Is Factor. ‘The future of any city depends upon dhe skill and foresight of its builders, | Darr, president of the | Charles W. ‘Washington Chamber of Commerce, de- clares in announcing that the February | meeting of that organization, | to a discussion of real estate. | Principal speakers will be Charles W. | Eliot, 2d, city planner of the National Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion; Alfred H. Lawson. president of ‘the Washington Real Estate Board; Monroe Warren, president of the Opera- tive Builders’ Association; Horace W. Peaslee, president of the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects; Robert V. Fleming, president of Riggs | National Bank, and E. H. Rosengarten, president of the Building Trades Em- Pployers’ Association. In an editorial in Greater Washing- ton, publication of the local chamber, | Mr. Darr states: “The Washington Chamber of Com- | merce is calling its first ‘Real Estate Night' meeting to focus public atten- tion upon the high value of the services vendered by those local citizens en- gaged in real estate and building activi- ties and the important part which these | efforts are playing in the upbuilding of | the Washington that is and the Wash- ington that is to be in future. ““The future of any city depends upon the skill and foresight of its builde: ©On them rests the responsibility of cal- culating housing needs, gambling on population movement, and matching| style, cost and design to location, com- petitive offerings and the depth of the home-buyer's pocketbook. It is a deli- cate adjustment, the success of which controls in large part the ultimate charm and attractiveness of single homes and whole residential districts. | “In attacking and successfully solv- | ing development problems of this char- acter the members of Washington's real | estate and building groups have been cecidedly successful. Particularly dur- | ing the la 0 years our residential ereas have been improved and extended and individual homes and apartments have been endowed with new comforts and with improvements in design and style which equal or surpass similar| progress in any other city in this coun- try. Largely as the result of such| changes the value of property holdings in the District has increased more than 40 per cent during the last few years. “This splendid_activity. carrying on | the traditions of Washington and L'En- | fant, is one of the outstanding features | of present-day business in Washington. It is contributing more than any one | other private business effort toward the creation of a city peerless in beauty and esthetic appeal.

They have changed the physical appearances of this city, endowed it with new charm and attractiveness, g it possible to house our present ulation more effectively and provid- ing added facilities for the care of countless thousands of new citizens who are choosing the Capital City as their place of permanent residence. “The Washington Chamber of Com merce is proud of this fine accomplish- ment by District business men. It is one which, in the belief of the chamber, should receive general recognition from the rank and file of District residents who have so greatly benefited there- from.
