In his address before the New Eng- land Regional Convention of the National Association of Real Estate Boards in Springfield, Mass., yester- day, J. K. Powell, real estate conserva- tor of the department of banking and insurance of New Jersey, described the “Withers’ plan” for the conserva- tion and liquidation of real estate owned by closed institutions, which is used in New Jersey. “It has assisted in the stabilization of real estate values, securing rental Increases and the stimulation of sales and real estate activity for the pro- tection of the investor, utilizing the existing real estate managenrent agency system to secure these results,” Powell stated. The Withers' plan was initiated in September, 1935, by Carl K. Withers, New Jersey commissioner of banking and insurance. The plan applied nationally recognized standards of Teal estate management to the han- dling of the great group of properties in liquidation. Real estate assets and other assets of more than 50 closed banks and other financing institutions, whose assets are in the hands of the commissioner, in various stages of possession and liquidation, came under the Withers' plan. The task involved the management and sale of some 3,000 odd pieces of property of every conceivable kind, scattered through most of the counties of the State. Requires New Division. The plan involved the creation of a Division of Conservation within the department, a real estate section within this division, and an Advisory Board on the handling of real estate | assets, this board serving without compensation and drawn from the best property management experience of the State.
