Greaten optimism prevailed last week as to ! among Portland real estate men i the condition of the market than .ny time during the past winter.

The realty profession of Portland needs but to make a few sales - to acquire -a confidence and optimism that will make for-better condition. Especially bright is the outlook for "building and improvement activity. - March totals for building permits show a large Increase over February, al though it must be admitted the figures do not compare favorably with those of March last year. Permits to the number of 527 aggregating $503,755 in construction work were issued last month as compare wun an pernm ' aggregating $311,740 in February. ' From all parts of tlietate come re- " ports of building activity and of a mor? rapidly moving realty market. "Fossil, in eastern Oregon, is exper iencing more building activity than at any other time in months. From Ash land domes the report that there were more realty deals during the past month in that city than during the Whole 12 months of 1914 added to gether. - In Portland the tendency of the week was toward moderate priced dwellings In building .with the sale of the Sar gent" hotel as the outstanding deal. Thl is to be a banner year for pub- -Jlc improvements. According to fig ures Just compiled proposed improve ments! will total 6.095,D00 fpr the year.

EFFECT UPLIFTING City planning Is the big progressive movement in real estate today, writes Paur A. Harsch in the National Real Estate Journal. It widens the field In whifch we operate. It lifts us from the ranks of mere subdivision operator? to realty efficiency experts. It digni fies our profession, and- yet without sacrifice of our profits. It teaches ua to build for the future and estab lish the future of our building, and we will be blind indeed If we ignore the opportunity lt offers us, and many of us will be poorer, much poorer. City planning is merely looking forward. We cannot take our -present-day cities and attempt to rectify the mistakes of their early building and develop them along set and conven tional lines into show places for the nations. Napoleon III did this in Paris, violently, arbitrarily and at a terrific cost a cost which the French nation is feeling today. Never before in the history of the world, as far as We have any records, was such a thing attempted and probably never will it be again. Certainly we have no desire. In such a. wholesale .fashion, to at tempt to correct our municipal . mis takes. What we can do, however, ie to study ouf cities, the forces that are molding them. the. strength and direc tion of the different currents of popu lation that are developing its districts. We can .marshal these forces and work with them and so guide 1 the character of these developments ! that the city will build up harmoniously and establish for itself for all time maximum realty values, which- arc equally important to the citizen and to the real estate dealer. , - : Hiram 'Hager ' has commissioned O.

NATIONAL AWAKENING IS CAUSE OF.REALTY REVIVAL The marked increase in realty ac tivity in Portland, and throughout Oregon in fact, for the last several weeks is due to a national awakening and not to an -abnormal local condi tion. This is made plain by a can vass of the entire country. The feel ing of optimism that pervades the realty circles of' this city is the same that prevails m all the big centers of the United 'States. Itv is admittedly true that the busi ness of the entire nation Is reflected in conditions as found in Chicago and New York city. These two great com munities are thei cross-roads of na tional and international trade, and be ing so they are sensitive to theorise and fall of the world's business tide. The statements of such men as M. Morgenthau,- president of the Real Estate association, of the state, of New York, and Richard "W. Wolfe, president Cook County, Illinois', Real Estate, board, are therefore, of value. They are in position to gain compre hensive views of general conditions. And each of them can see nothing but constantly improving times for realty men. What they think is to come dur ing 1915 and why is herewith presented. By M.. Morgenthau Jr., President of the Real Estate Associa tion of the Stateo f New York. Before considering the prospects for 1915, it is well to inquire into the causes of sub-normal business in the real estate market recorded during 1914. Amdlig the big reasons is the high and increasing cost of financing real estate propositions. The problem is one which is large ly beyond our control. The opinion seems to prevail among economists and financiers that, on account ofr the cataclycm In Europe, we are likely to have high rates in our money market for many, years. If this is true, then it. is high tim'e that something be done to remedy the obsolete method under which we have been financing our real estate market. Long terra mortgages with small annual pay ments, will do much to relieve the sit uation. Other measures, such as the introducing of first mortgage real CONTRACTS LET AND Will start on High School. F. A. Naramore, 'superintendent of properties, school district No.' 1; Will begin making working drawings of the proposed Franklin high school at once. An expenditure of $100,000 has been authorized and construction will be on I he unit system. The proposed high school is to stand on the south corner of the property at East Fifty-third and Division streets and will consist of a group of buildings, main and adminis tration, science, manual arts with shops, gymnasium with tank, auditor ium and cafeteria, and boiler house. The structure will -be two stories hlgn with no basement, brick exterior and frame Interior-except in cases of the as sembly hall, portions of the shops and the boijer house. The first unit will consist of a part of the main buildings and the boiler house. Bids are new being received for the proposed Kennedy school at Thirty third and Jefferson streets, southeast. It will be a one story structure and will eventually have 24 rooms. It is to cost $45,000. I V Hew Colonial House Begun. The Oregon Home Builders began construction last week a new colo nial home for C. D. Lehmkuhl at 941 Dunckley avenue. Oltnstead PArk addi tion. To date the baseraenrlias been laid and the foundation set arid work. will be rushed to completions j Among the attractive features of the proposed dwelling will be hardwood floors throughout, casement windows, built in. conveniences of all kinds and ample fireplaces. There -will be six . rooms on the lower floor and room for four bedrooms, and bafh on the upper, al though Mr. Lehmkuhl will finish but Lone of the-upper bedrooms at this time, i ne tjregon tiome isuimers are constructing a number of residences In the Olmstead Park section of the city. Will Build Tine Residence. , Mrs. Samuel D. Smith will build a. handsome new residence for her own use on Petty grove street ; between Twenty - fourth and Twenty - fifth streets. ' The structure will ' be two stories and attic, of frame construction and of the popular, colonial :type. ; The ground floor will contain living room, dining room and sitting room, the sec ond floor four bedrooms, and the attic servants-quarters. There , will be an adjoining garage. The cost .will be about $9000. Whitehouse and Fouil houx have drawn the plans. Cannery Plant to Be Beg-nn. - Construction on the proposed pack ing plant of Libby, McNeill & Libby t The Dalles will probably begin this week. Work will be rushed to have the buildings ready to handle the early estate bonds, will help. The mortgage and title companies must be made to look at their business in a less selfish light. If real estate goes to smash they will surely suffer as much aa anyone. It is distinctly up to them to bestir themselves for .the benefit of the real estate interests and to. reduce the cost of financing and refinancing real estate investments. There are signs , that they appreciate this and that they will take a more helpful at titude this year. Therefore, 1915 looms large as a year of reconstruction for real estate men; one which we welcome with confidence and hopefulness. By Richard AV. Wolfe. (President Cook County, Illinois, Real Estate Board). There can be no more substantial tribute to real estate and real estate securities than the manner in which they have weathered the financial storm of the past several months. Stock exchanges were closed, for a time there was absolutely no market for stocks and bonds. But real, estate stood unshaken. The real estate man was still at the-old stand, with him business went on just the same. His deals perhaps were not so brisk, al though you hear of brokers who did exceptionally well through' those months. Many loans were made on .real estate, mortgages were bought and sold among the brokers them selves and to private investors. We have heard little. Jf anything. of the sale of mortgage loans for less than face value, and little of the vale of real estate at sacrifice prices. Thi real estate agent in the future will not be slow to talk up these points of advantage in presenting his com modity for Investment as against the so-called llama securities oi stocks and bonds. It is a most encouraging sign that during 1914 the sale of small proper ties maintained its record, mi shows that the working man, the clerk and the- small business man are not only industrious and thrifty, but are put ting their savings into homes. Another encouraging sign in the evolution is the growth of the neigh borhood spirit. People are more and more given to patronize their own neighborhoods. On all sides - are springing up new business centers, creating in activity in local real es tate which In some cities is remark able. BUILDINGS PLANNED spring fruits of The Dalles district.
