EN MODERN HOUSES
ARE TO BE ERECTED
HANDSOME RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES ON EAST SIDE CHANGE HANDS.
Dwellings Will Be Disposed Of
on Installment Plan.
WHOLE BLOCK OCCUPIED
Promoters of Enterprise Desire to
I'rovide Accommodation Rather
Than to MakeMoney.
Krection of 10 dwellings to occupy
the full .ri0 feet on the east side of
Eighteenth street between Klickitat
and Frecmont, in Irvington, by the
Title and Trust company, has been an
nounced by Robert E. Smith, presi
dent of the companv. The land was
recently secured from Edgar W.
Smith, president of the Astoria Flour
Mills company. The dwellings are be
ing erected more to aid in solving
the present problem of inadequate
housing facilities than for investment,
it is announced, and will be sold at
cost of construction plus price of
lot. and on the installment plan, it
desired. The dwellings when com
pleted will be disposed of through
members of the Portland Realty
board.
Monthly Payments Reasonable.
The houses will average in price
between $S000 and $9000, and may be
paid for by cash or on an install
ment plan, 20 per cent down. The
Mortgage Guarantee company will
take a first mortgage for 50 per cent
of the cost and the Title and Trust
company a second mortgage for the
balance. Payments will be 1 per cent
per month of the amount of the sec
ond mortgage. The purchaser will
pay semi-annual interest on the first
mortgage and will pay the taxes.
Thus on an $8000 dwelling the cash
payment would he $1600, the monthly
payment $24. and there would be the
taxes and interest on a first mort
gage of $4000-
The Mortgage Guarantee company
was organized by the Portland clear
ing house banks, together with the
Title and Trust company, for the pur
pose of finanring homes in Portland
and the directors of the latter com
pany were encouraged to build at this
time in order to assist in relieving
the present congested situation with
regard to houses.
"In considering the present high
cost of building, the Title and Trust
company found that the present low
price of land to a large degree off
sets the present high cost of build
ing, sain -Mr. smith, and in this way
new and up-to-date houses can
V.bullt at a price which will compete
with iouses built in pre-war times.
Particularly is this true if several
them are built at one time in the
same vicinity, so as to reduce the cost
or ouiiuing. .
"We have found that by buildln
these 10 houses on this one block
we can make a saving of from 15 to 20
per cent. This saving, of course, i
made in the cost of materials, but
mere is tne additional advantage o:
having better workmen on the job.
As fast as the excavation for the
first house is completed, the excava
tors immediately begin work on th
second house, and so on until all th
excavations are made. Of course as
soon as the excavation on the first
house is done the concrete men be
gin work and move down the line be
hind the excavators. Carpenters fol
low and the entire row of houses will
be finished almost together.
iinoLiier aavantage wnich is se
eured in harmony of design. We will
build a double garage between every
other house, making one driveway
serve two houses and thus giving
more space tor lawns.

OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR SPRING
AXD SUMMER SALES.
Dealer Says Real Estate Always
Last to Be Affected by Grin-mi
Business Improvement.
That the outlook for the sale of
high-class homes is excellent for this-
spring and summer is the statement
of A. B. Cleveland of the firm of Mc-
Crillis-Cleveland company, who has
recently been making an investiga
tion of residential property values
and of the cost of building.
What little building has boen done
since, the close .of the war has been
principally in moderate priced homes, '
he explained yesterday. "Not only our
selves, but the entire country is way
behind on its building programme
and it will take several years of hard
work to get back to normal. From a
building standpoint, there is nothing
to indicate a decline in prices. On the
other hand, we know of several items
entering into building construction
which will be even higher than at
present.
"The- demand last year was for
modest homes; three or four years of
high wages made it possible for the
wage earner to acquire a home which
he could not do under former condi
tions. The wage earner was, there
fore, the principal purchaser of homes.
The business and professional man
has fared equally well with his labor
ing brother and is now casting about
for a suitable location for a home. -
"The real estate market is always
the last to be affected by the general
ncrease in business. We all know
that business of every sort has been
remendous. There has been a de-
houses will be In lin with the de
mand for better goods generally."

Publication of the 1920 booklet of
the- Interstate Realty association.

third annual convention held at Vic
toria, B. C. last summer, was con
cluded last week and the volume sent
by Secretary Paul Cowgill to all ac
tive and associate members of the

exceeds 1300, it was necessary to
have a larger number of the volumes
printed this year than ever before.
The booklets are sent free to all
members.

the same size as the one issued last
year and contains, in addition to the
complete proceedings of the 1919 an
nual convention of the interstate as

association nad a complete roster of
membership, arranged alphabetically
by states and cities, the constitution

value because of the roster of mem
bers it contains. As realty dealers
can only become members of the
association after careful scrutiny as
to their reliability, the list is consid
ered to be one for ready reference to
reliable dealer? in practically all
cities and towns of any s;se in Al

Mere Holding of Property Not
Enough if Occupation Is Per
mitted by Owner.
BY W. B. SHIVELY.
Chairman!, Legal Committee, Portland
Realty Board.
(This i th third of a scries of articles
written by -Mr. sniricy on tne law oi a
virfle Dossession as aDDlled in this state.
Previous articles will be found in the Sun
day Issues of March 7 and 14.)
May one enter upon the land of an
other, with the latter"s permission,
and, after residing thereon continu
ously for ten years, claim to own the
land by right of adverse possession?
Readers of this series of articles
will recall that It is well settled in
Oregon that adverse possession oi
another's real estate for the statutory
period of ten years vests in the pos
sessor the title to the real estate, ex
tinguishing all rights of the former
owner; also that to constitute ad
verse possession there are five ele
ments necessary, that is, the posses
sion must be hostile, actual, notori
ous, exclusive and continuous. The
first of these elements is that tne
possession must be hostile, and it is
the purpose of this article to lane up
and discuss that particular feature of
a title by adverse possession.
The term "hostile," as used in tne
law of adverse possession, is not to be
construed as showing ill will, or as to
mean that the one claiming adverse
possession is an enemy of the person
holding the legal title. The term is
construed to refer to an occupant who
holds and is in possession of the land
as -the owner thereof, irrespective of
who else may claim to be the owner.
Mascall vs. Murray, 76 Or. 637. 149,
Pac. 517. 521.
It is held in Bessler vs. Powder R.
D. G. Co., 90 Or. 663, 176 Pac. 791. that
any recognition of the true owner at
any time during the ten-year period
wiil be fatal to the adverse claimant
Merc Poflarsaion Vot Enough.
There have been many cases where
one enters upon another's lands with
the owner's permission, as tenant,
vendee, licensee, mortgagee, trustee,
or the like. Can such a one, after
occupying the lands for ten years,
successfully claim to own the lands
by right of adverse possession? The
answer, subject to the following dis
cussion, is "no," for the reason that
if the entry is made with the owner's
permission, it is necessarily in recog
nition of the owner's title and, there
fore cannot be hostile or adverse.
In Abraham vs. Owner, 20 Or. 511, it
is held that a permissive occirpancy,
no difference how long continued, is
never adverse.
This principle has been applied to
many different circumstances. For
instance, there is the case of Thayer
vs. Thayer, 69 or. 138. liis, .fac. ib.
In this case the defendants having re
sided upon certain land for more than
ten years therefore claimed to own
the same in the hope that they might
some day be able to purchase it, and
they continued to reside upon the land
that hope. This fact, said the court.
clearly showed a recognition of the
owner's title by the defendants' show
ing that the defendants occupancy
of the land was not hostile.
Habcrly vs. Treadgold, 67 Or. 42a,
136, Pac. 334, the adverse claimant
had moved upon the land under an
alleged contract to purchase it. This,
held the court, did not show hostilitj
to the title of the true owner.
Railroad Case Cited.
In Oregon City vs. O. & C. R. com
pany. 44 Or., 165, 74, Pac. 924, the de
fendant railroad, with the permission
of the city, had used a strip of the
city's land in connection with its
right of way for over 30 years, after
which the railroad claimed tne land
bv right of adverse possession. The
court held that the railroad's entrj
upon the land was by the permission
of the city, wherefore the railroad
could not claim that its occupancy has
been adverse.
In Nessley vs. Ladd, 29 Or.. 354, 45,
Pac. 904. it is held that a tenant can
never acquire title by adverse posses
sion of his landlord's lands for the
reason that in first renting the lands
he does so in recognition of the land
lord's title.
There are circumstances, however,
where one may acquire title to lands
occupied by him as a tenant, that is
to say, even though he originally went
upon the land as a tenant, if he there
after openly and explicitly disclaims
any holding under his former land
lord and emphatically and unreserved
ly asserts that he is the owner of
the true title, all with the knowledge
of the landlord, he. the tenant, if he
meets the other requirements as to
the hostility, openness, continuity, etc.,
of his subsequent possession may be
come the owner of the land by ad
verse possession. Such is the holding
in the Nessley-Ladd case.
In Raymond vs. Flagel. 27 Or. 219,
40 Pac. 158, a trustee held certain
lands in trust for another, and the
court held that so long as the trus
tee held title as trustee, adverse pos
session could not be claimed. But if.
with the knowledge of the person for
whom the trustee held the land, the
trustee repudiated all trust relations
and then continued in the. adverse
possession of the land for the ten
year period, such possession would
ripen into title.

and mortgagee is the case of Caro vs
Wollenberg, 68 Or. 420. 136 Pac. 866.
An example of a case wherein the
holding was at first permissive and
then hostile is the very late case of
Looney vs. Sears (Or.) 1S5 Pac. 925.
In that case Bean, the owner of cer
tain property, made an oral contract
to sell the same to L,oney and under
sirch contract Loney moved upon the
land. After a time a controversy
arose as to the terms of sale and,
after an argument. Bean repudiated
the contract and sold the land to an
other. Loney. however, continued to
reside upon the land and he and his
representatives remained there until
1918. During this period he built
fences, houses and barns thereon and
harvested crops therefrom, always
claiming to own the land and at no
time recognizing any title but his
own. Bean's purchaser did not insti
tute proceedings to oust Looney from
the land until 1918 and the court, in
deciding the case, held that in view of
Looney's long, continuous, open and
hostile possession of the property, he
had become the owner of the land
and that Bean's purchaser had lost
his title thereto.
