PROPOSES PLAN
, TO AID BUILDING
Association Urges Exemption
of Realty Mortgages From
Intangible Tax.
The Real Estate Krokers' Associa
tion will urge the District Commis
doners to recommend to Congress ex
emption of real estate mortgages fron
the local intangible tax, in accordance
with a resolution adopted yesterdaj
afternoon by the special housing com
?ocortdiatinn :it a meetinE
in the office of H. L. Rust.
The action was taken, following discussion
of the financial situation, witi
regard to building, during whicft
members of the. committee broughl
out that something must be done at
once to attract the investor to the fielc
of real estate securities. Recently
several members of the associatior
announced that, as individual firms
they had instituted a 7 per cent interest
rate 011 real estate investments
in lieu of the 6 per cent heretofore prevailing.
Others have not taken this
step. It is believed by real estate men
that the lifting of tfwe intangible ta>
burden from mortgages will have thf
effect of making them more salable, resulting
in relief for the housing shortage.
Few Figures Submitted.
Charles W. Fairfax, chairman of the
committee, expressed disappointment
at the small number of replies re?
? iv?*d to the coihmittee's appeal for
figures on the. building situation. He
pointed out that persons in'need of
bousing facilities should be able tc
find time to write their wants to the
committee. This information is absolutely
indispensable, he said, in ordei
that the actual shortage of homes in
"Washington may be disclosed for the
benefit of the financial interests.
Money is not likely to be offered by
investors unless they are shown that
a serious situation really exists.
Star to Aid Realtors.
The Star will assist the realtors in
securing data on the housing shortage.
It today prints a coupon which
those in need of rental space should
fill out and send at once to the real
estate editor.
