MAKE STUDY OF SUBDIVISIONS Realty Convention Considers New Problem American cities, with their present rapid growth and the increasing demand for homes away from the crowded sec- tion, are constantly breaking over their MH hiry 'by legal: restrictions as t wnshif pe penditure framed "a meet the ot: 5 'a purely rural township, these are some of the growing-pains of suburban terri- tories. Create Metropolitan Areas The creation of metropolitan areas, or districts, is the device which modern cit- ies have evolved to aid in the adjust- ment of these difficulties. The National Association of Real Estate Boards will undertake a study of how far American cities have devised successful plans for the development of suburban territories through metropolitan areas, and will hold a national round table discussion of sub- dividers looking to the encouragement of workable plans, and toward the spread of such methods of subdivision develop- ment as will make for sound and healthy city growth. The study has been undertaken by the Home Builders and Subdividers division of the association by action of its exe- cutive committee. Irenaeus Shuler, of Omaha, has been chosen to make the investigation of present policies of city planning commissions and regional plan- ning commissions in regard to outlying territories. The problem of the develop- ment of subdivisions in outlying sections will be the central theme at the all-day meeting of the division to be held in conection with the annual meeting of the National Association of Real Estate boards at Dallas, January 13-16, in- clusive. Study Transportation The carrying of transportation and of public utilities into the suburban area will be another subject to be considered by the Division at this session. Frank B. Upshaw, of Portland, will lead the dis- cussion. H. A. Brown, of Brockton, Mass., will lead the round-table confer- erence on the extent to which commun- ity-owned playgrounds and recreation centers can be made possible by the sub- divider even for a moderately priced sub- division. Bert I. Clogston, Los Angeles, who will take the chairmanship of the di- vision at the January meeting, will lead the discussion on financing methods which make subdivision development pos- sible. Guy Ellis, of Detroit, will lead the discussion on selling methods. The meeting, to be held simudtaneously with those of the six other great divi- sions of the association on the opening day of the convention, will be an infor- mal exchange of business experience on a national scale. All members of the division are invited to take part in the discussions.
