Prior to the convention, local boards existed only In Indis.napolls, Ft. Wayne and Gary. In the last six months boards have been organized In Evansvllle. Lafayette. Elkhart, Anderson and Kokomo.

As these boards have been organized for the greater part from members of the state association, membership In the one organization has come to carry along with it membership in the other. In Ohio the state association Is composed ntlrelv of members of local boards and no members are admitted from cities where these do not exist, as. general rule. Effect of Organization. Partly due to the organisation of these local exchanges and also because of the active campaign which has been conducted during the last six months, the membership of the state association has My' jura PARK STREETS AND SIDEWALKS The streets in Park Crest are broad and well graded.

The New xoric association has been organised since 1906 and now haa only about 350 members. The Missouri organization, which is two years oid. has fewer, than 100 members, and the Wisconsin two years old, hasonly 250 members.

The West' Virginia association was formed November, but the difference in the enthusiasm of that state and Indiana for the movement can be seen by the number of charter members who attended the first convention at Parkers burg.

As reported in. the National Real Estate Journal, the number was just thirty. Similarly In Michigan at the atate convention held at Detroit 1n January the number present was only thirty flve.

Park Crest, which lies just south of Garfield park, was put on the market' In May, 1JU3, by Charles Yoke, owner, with William T. Rasmuasen as sales agent. It was a large addition of 265 lots. It was permitted to make Its own way in a sane manner. and on its merits it haa drawn 156 home seekers, leaving only no lots unsold.

Southport Is a quiet little villagre, located on the Louisville division of the Pennsylvania railroad, and on the Indianapolis. Columbus A Southern traction line.

It is eight miles south of the center of Indianapolis. It has cement walks, electric lights, new modern high school and several churches, and is easily reached by several picturesque drives from Indianapolis.

The tract has been named Ambleside, taking the name of one of the most beautiful of the English The addition lies between Pennsylvania street.

Central avenue, Beverly road and Fifty third street. There are 2fil lots. Part of the tract is wooded. "We are straight north." said Latta. "The streets running through Ambleside are Pennsylvania Delaware, New Jersey.

he prices of the lots run from to $2,500, which would mean payments of from 1S to S25 under the 1 per cent. plan. "The improvement of the city, in boulevards, schools and otherwise, is all in the direction of Ambleside. There is no doubt about the lots selling rapidly." One of the features of Ambleside is that the lots are wider than in most additions platted in recent years. Instead of being 60 feet wide, they are from 6.1 to 96 feet wide the average being 6A8S feet.

They are uniformly 127 feet deep. CARRIES OUT NEW PLAN. 0 Realty'Co'mpany Buys lip' Property on Both Sides "of Street. An unusual development of city property one which seems strange Is not employed more generally Is being carried out by the Burns Bealty Company. Two years ago the company bought up property on both sides of Forty fourth street between Pennsylvania and Washington boulevard, The company has thereby been able to control the appearance of the entire Ft reel.

It has been abl also to prevent the erection of houses that would injure the looks of the section as a beautiful residence district. All of the houses that are being built have been designed by a good architect, not entirely on the individualistic iJea. but fit harmoniously into a beautiful community of homes. The result is most attractive. The houses on the north side of the street have been completed and now the hotnes on the south side are being erected.

The effect Is such that Forty fourth street within these two blocks is decidedly distinctive.
