Use of the property brief in selling real estate was adjudged the best of the new thoughts presented at the recent convention of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, in Baltimore, in the “new idea” contest. J. Kingsley Powell, Metuchen, N. J., won the silver placque given by the Baltimore Real Estate Board, by sub- mitting the use of a detailed property brief as the best method “to increase the efficlency and productivity” of a real estati' ise. John caver of this city, past president of Both the National Associ- ation of Real Estate Boards and the local realtor body; N. J. Upham, Duluth, Minn, and Irving B. Hiett, Toledo, Ohio, were the judges. Fee for Preparing Brief. The plan used by Mr. Powell pro- vides that a fee be charged for the preparation of the brief, and the in- comes from these fees, the intimate and detailed knowledge of the property re- sulting from the work of preparing the brief, and the respect and confidence of clients were listed as the benefits of using the briefs. The fees charged for the preparation of the briefs are credited against the commission if the property is sold; the brief, neatly bound, becoming the prop- erty of the client.

Mason, Bridgeport, Conn., realtor. who | presented a detailed plan for a new type | of business structure built around a great hollow square covering two ciiy | blocks which would be nsed for parking purposes. Declaring that the parking problem was the greatest problem fac- ing realtors and others interested in downtown commercial property in | cities throughout the country, and that | if not solved such buildings will be deserted in the future for more con- | venient_outlying locations, Mr. Mason | stated that thic design would increase | the curb frontage in a given arca “by five times.” The front of his building, which is one of three stories, has the Bp;)em‘-‘a ance of an ordirary building used for | stores end offices, but each store and office has windows or show windows on the street side and also on the side facing the hollow square. The square has several levels with roadways | the top level being used for parking purposes only. The basement area would be used for bus terminals, taxi stands and passenger loading platforms. | The construction costs, with the ex- | ception of the costs of the ramps, would | be very little more than in an ordinary building having the same cubical con- | tent, according to Mr. Mason.

Fear of a dependent old age seems | to be a motive behind the purchase' of homes by small-salaried people, says the National Association of Real Es- tate Boards today in a statement on a study of 1,000 letters submitted from all parts of the country in a recent contest in which the writers described how they secured their homes. Practical, rather than sentimental considerations, made these people work overtime, take in washing, keep boarders, go without new clothes, tele- | phones and amusements in order to| acquire their own domiciles, the survey shows. The reason advanced most often by married women who went back to work, preachers who learned to be car- | ’penurs to help in the building, and others who just planned carefully, was the desire for a retreat for later life. HOME SALES PREVENTED Building Association System | Proves Boon in Baltimore. Special Dispatch to The Star, BALTIMORE, July 4—The building association system is saving this city from the sales of homes for taxes, and under foreclosure proceedings, aceording to C. Philip Pitt, secretary of the Real Estate Board. “Foreclosure sales in this city are only about norm:ll‘ as_far as my ob-| servation goes," id Mr. Pitt today. “I attribute that to our building associations. Under that system, the home buyer begins to amortize the loan as soon as it is made and he soon acquires a substantial equity in his home. If the man is a substantial citi- zen many bullding associations will carry him along on the payment of interest on his loan for a time.” A RESTICTED COMMUNITY OF FULLY DETACHED HOMES—PRICED FROM $13,500 TO $17,500 A | south | of the country in May showed a de- N entrance court gives this dig-| One of the features differing from | nified home a certain sense of |most of the plans with central stairs is| privacy coveted by most of the |that one starts up from the living or | present-day families, dining room and down from the front Those who own a corner lot |entrance hall.

The National Property Owners' Di- vision of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, which is seeking lower taxes on real estate, has elected as its chairman a man who “proved that it can be done.” A. L. Moore, Pontac, ‘Mich., attorney, non-realtor, will become head of the division next January 1, succeeding Judge Arthur J. Lacy of Detroit.
