REALTY ASS'N CHANGES LOCATION IN CHICAGO The National Association of Real Estate Boards has moved its Chicago headquarters from 220 South State street, to its new offices at 310 So. Michigan avenue. The new suite, which provides the additional space required by the ex- pansion of the association's activities, is located on the eighth floor of the new Straus building, one of the most notable office buildings of the sky- scraper type to be built during the ROOFING | over the Old Shingles ESTIMATES FREE NORTH SHOR ROOF CRAFTERS _ =. 3 LANDIS AWARD HOMES STARTED Mayor Dever Breaks Ground For New Buildings The program of the Chicago Daily News, under the personal direction of Victor F. Lawson, to build three mod- erate priced houses has held the inter- est of the building industry, bankers and real estate men as well as pros- pective home owners. Ground has been broken for the first of these houses by Mayor Dever. representing the public, and as all the houses will be built under the Landis Award, the Citizens' Committee to Enforce the Landis Award was repre- sented by T. E. Donnelley, chairman, and James A. Patten of Evanston, treasurer. The same contractor se- cured the contract for this house at 6847 Cregier avenue and the north side house at Lunt and Pingree ave- nues. Ground for the River Forest house was broken with appropriate ceremo- nies by the village board. There will no doubt be a close race between the contractors to see who can complete their work first. To prove the legitimacy of their bids all contractors have guaranteed to build up to twenty similar houses a month at the same price. These homes will be exceptionally well built and different kinds of material will be used in each house. This experi- ment will undoubtedly prove whether it is possible to build a desirable home economically and at a price which the average family can afford to pay, without putting a burden on them for years to come. More enthusiasm for the Landis Award and insistance that the Cit- izens' Committee to Enforce the Lan- dis Award must stay in existence as an active factor in the building indus- try in Chicago, has been displayed by the architects and contractors during the past month than ever before, it is reported. This enthusiasm is evi- dently responsible for the large per- centage of work which went Landis Award last week. Forty-six per cent of contracts of $25,000 or over were awarded the contractors working un- der the-Landis Award. - Wage scales of $1.50 per hour for all trades have been frequently mem- tioned as a surety, effective June 1, but up to date no wage contracts have been signed nor negotiated. PLANS ARE IN PROGRESS FOR STATE GATHERING Under the direction of members of the state real estate board of Illinois, plans for the Illinois real estate board meeting to be held in Galesburg, Octo- ber 16, 17 and 18, are being launched.
