PAGE B—1 “JERRY BUILDING" WARNING ISSUED AS MARKET BOOMS Big Upturn In Erection of Small Homes Marks Year Here. {APARTMENT DEMANDS ARE STEADILY RISING Increases In Real Estate Business Expected to Continue Next Year—Big Jobs Planned. A warning to the public to “be- ware of the jerry-builder” was issued today by leading Washington realtors, who confidently predict that the next |rear will bring an even greater im- | provement to their business than 1935. Although the current year has seen |8 startling upturn here in the erece tion and sale of small homes in par- | ticular, and the entire real estate field |in general. conditions for an even | greater improvement in the market | are better at the present time than they were at the beginning of the year. The fact that there are actu- | ally less than 200 apartments for rent |in the city was pointed out by real |estate men as significant of greater demand for small homes. More than 1,500 small homes ale | ready have been erected in the Dise | trict this year, and about the same | number in nearby Maryland and Virginia. Despite these facts there is less available residential space in the metropolitan area today than on January 1. The “boom” in small residential building has attracted a large number of out-of-town builders and developers, the majority of whom have set up operations outside the District. Some of the builders who have entered business about the Capital are operating on the pro- verbial “shoestring” and are setting up cheap and poorly constructed houses. Realtors warn the public to carefully examine both the firm and | (See “JERRY BUILDING,” Page 7. — e Offer Wanted | Closing 1227 Euclid St. N.W.
