BANKRUPTCY STUDIED
Members of the brokers’ division of
the National Association of Real Es
tate Boards, at a special meeting yes
terday at Chicago, gave consideration
to “precipitation of voluntary bank
ruptcy proceedings on the part of
financially able lessees.”
Such bankruptcy actions serve to
Injure the value of business property, it
w-as contended in an announcement re
ceived here.
Members of the property managers’
division of the national body also took
part in the discussion. The conference
also was marked by a discussion of the
general chain store lga.-e situation.

PHILADELPHIA SURVEYS
RESIDENCE PROPERTIES
95 Per Cent of Those “Fit for Oc
cupancy’’ Are Occupied,
Study Discloses.
Ninety-five per cent of the residen
tial properties of Philadelphia which
are “fit for occupancy” are occupied,
according to a survey made by the
Real Estate Beard of that city, tlirough
its Committee on Statistics.
The study also included a tabula
tion of figures of the current number
of families now living as “extra fam
ilies" in residential units designed for
single-family occupation, and a count
of old residential structures which were
deemed to be no longer fit for use.
The survey, it is reported,' showed
that there are not now in that city
sufficient residential properties, either
row, semi-detached rnd detached houses
in good condition, to accommodate the
families who have “doubled-up," if
these families should desire individual
homes.
The percentage of occupancy for the
three classes of dwellings was found to
be as follows: Row houses, 93.3 per
cent; semi-detached houses, 95.2 per
cent, and detached houses, 95.8 per
cent.
It was found that there were 26.565
families living with other families in
houses of these types, and that there
were only 24.161 houses of such types
fit for use whi*h were not occupied.

Washington Building District 9486
A Cottage on a Stream
PLACED in the home country of George Mason and General
Washington, this 7-room brick house has the atmosphere and is
largely made of parts of buildings of their period and intimately
associated with them. The beamed ceilings, antique mantels, old
brick fireplaces and the witch doors are some of the interesting features.
Plumbing and sanitation are modern, and pure spring water is supplied
bv gravity. Heating system and electric fixtures are to be chosen by
the purchaser.
THE rock-bedded stream bordering the property inspires poetical
emotions, and the fisii in its pools are worthy of attention. You
will linger at the Summer house on its edge.
THE land, 19 acres of it, is hounded by the Richmond Pike, tiye old
Gunston Hall road and by Pobick Creek. The valley part is
grown with arbutus, mountain laurel and varied, timber, some of the
last very stately, some very odd. Chinquapins, persimmons, nut trees
and an old orchard are on the higher land, and its outlook over the
wooded country is much worth while. Birds and small game seem
to like it there.
THE house will be open this afternoon and Sunday, and you are
cordially invited to make it a visit. The favorite route is by
the Mt. Vernon Highway and its new extension from Mt. Vernon to the
Richmond Pike, thence south (left) 5 miles to the Creek. The distance
from the White House is 25 miles. You can dine well nearby.
