R LEGAL PROPOSALS FOR D. C. STUDIED Real Estate Board Starts Extensive Inquiry Into Suggested Laws. Concurrent with similar activity undertaken by local bankers, the Washington Real Estate Board has started an extensive study of proposed new legislation affecting realty prac- tice here, according to a statement today by John A. Petty, executive sec- retary, outlining the position of the board on measures before the last Con; Enactment of a law providing for licensing of real estate brokers and salesmen has been urged by the board, he pointed out, and several amend- ments of the District Code affecting foreclosure procedure have been in- lly suggested. eed for ‘“extreme” legislation af. fecting foreclosure of mortgages, how- ever, has not been demonstrated, in the opinion of realtors, bankers, build- ing association spokesmen and others, Mr. Petty declared. Oppose “Blue-Sky” Type. ation to correct evils in financ- ing and in the sale of securities has been indorsed by the Realty Board for & number of years, but realtors are opposed to the “blue-sky” type of ]efllllflo'n proposed in Congress last year, the realtor spokesman said. “Since 1924,” Mr. Pety stated, “we have requested each”succeeding Con- fm to enact a real estate brokers’ icense law, confidently believing that the enactment of such legislation would reach most of the wrong practices in real estate. Our position in respect to this and all other real estate legis- lation has been consistent. We have the need for legislation and have attempted to co-operate with in its preparation. ~“In respect to the necessity for ex- treme legislation affecting the fore- closure of mortgages, the position of the board has been consistent in ma! that no need for such legisla- tion has been demonstrated. is same position has been held by the hnkfll, the building associations, title companies, builders, Washington Board of Trade and other civic groups. “The failure and wrongdoing of a few in connection with the real estate financing caused a tremendous amount of public discussion of the real estate situation in Washington, with the re- sult that the publia mind has been somewhat confused respect to the basic need for real estate legislation. “Foreclosure of mortgages has had no connection with any of the difi- culties experienced, and the foreclosure legislation proposed at the last session of Congress could not be expected to reu:h the evils complained of. Wash- is a small, compact, metropoli- tln city, with no rural or farm sections, such as are found in almost every State, and with local conditions that differ radically from those existing in most States. Washington does not require, therefore, the same type of legislation covering the foreclosure of mortgages that exists in many States. Amendments Suggested. “We have informally suggested to Congress several amendments to the Dhlflcf. Code which would make as a Tequirement of law the same general practice in connection with foreclosure rocedure which has always been used reputable agencies contacting with the mortgage business in Washington. However, we are having prepared a thorough study of foreclosure laws in all States in order to determine if any procedure in other States could be applied to the District of Columbia with any beneficial results to the city. “Legislation to correct evils in financing and in the sale of securities has been indorsed by this board for a fHumber of years. The type of legis- lation suggested to Congress carries also the united indorsement of prac- tically all business and professional EAL ESTATE. - B2 ; THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTONZ D.

HOME of commodious propor- tions at 204 Bradley boulevard, known as Bradley Manor, was purchased this week by Emil Bonnelycke, international patent attorney representing Denmark. The house contains 11 Tooms, sun par- lor and three baths. ‘The dwelling is constructed of brick, with limestone facade and trim. It has been erected well back on s spacious lot forming a knoll. A circular drive- way leads from the roadway to the front entrance. A feature of the interior plan is the winding marble staircase leading from the large reception hall on the first floor to the wide second floor landing. To the left of the front entrance is the dining room, from which a door opens onto an open side porch on the left wing. A doorway at the rear of the dining room leads to the kitchen and pantry, from the reception hall. ‘The livin, room is to the right of the center giving access also the inclosed l\ln rlrlqr on this side ol the building.

Gail said with a gallant laugh. “You and Dick can have the guest room all to your- selves at least.” “I'd rather double up with you” Ariel said, without embarrassment, but with an appealing little touch of shy- ness. ““Well—" Gall colored to her fore- head, laughing again and sending Dick an apologetic glance, “if you don't mind? Of course, we have to talk all night.” “There’s & man in town I have to see, anyway,” Dick answered imme- diately. “Dick Stebbins! Not this first night.

By using fair market value as a basis ample protection could be furnished investors without thus hurting inno- cent property owners. This basis is used in the blue-sky laws of other States where mortgages are included, and no law in any State has yet been found which attempts to use the as- séssed value as a basis. “We feel that no type of legislation should be enacted for the protection of & special class at the risk of hurting another class. Home owners should not be made to indure unjust hard- ships in order to protect investors in securities. “Toward the close of Congress there ‘were added to the pending foreclosure bill some additional sections dealing with the releasing of mortgages. This no doubt was prompted by an im- portant and spectacular failure in the mortgage loan field, the results of which are deplored by every honor- le man in the real estate business, and the prevention of which in the future is also equally desired by them. “These added sections represent an attempt to correct a specific evil by neral legislation.

I can't wait to start talking." “If it's nice Sunday we’ll take our lunch up to the dam!" Gail called after him gayly. But when the kitchen door was shut and the car in the side yard had chugged away there was no laughter in the puzzled look she turned toward Ariel. “What's—queer?"” “Nothing’s queer.

TREES HELD ASSET FOR REAL ESTATE National Association Advo- cates Planting to Help Value of Property. 1If you own a plece of real estate for which there is no immediate use, plams treés on it, says the National Associa: tion of Real Estate Boards in its weekly story for the public, pointing out that trees and shrubbery immediately add to the desirability of any plot and will increase its value for sale. To show the definite influence of trees on_ realty values, the association reports that nurseries in suburban areas outside of New York City have greatly increased in value as the suburban sec- tions have encompassed them and taken many over as home and estate sites. Suggestions Made. Here are some of the suggestions con- zrllned in the association’s bulletin on ees: 1. If you plant trees on a vacant plot that may be used later for & home site, Ylm them with regard to the possible location of the house. Then, if you should desire to sell this site, you can point out how the placing of the trees will shade the house, and thus make this landscaping definitely aid your selling. 2. Poplars are good shade trees and are fast-growing. If you plant them across the back of your Iot, you can effectively screen it from the adjoining lot, and you will have gained a desirable privacy when you or a purchaser are ready to build. 3. Trees strategically locabed in rela- tion to the prevailing winds can help keep a house warm in Winter by keep- ing off the wintry blasts. Evergreens are often used for this purpose.
