G?Y1 BY THE DI'UIS ION OF RESEARCH & STATISTICS ~ . Field Report Dated 'November 22, 1935

I\., (tENERAL CONDITIONS

While Akron enjoys a certain amount of commercial nnd industrial diversifiyatiorx, it is essentia.lly a. one-industry city.1 Extensi\ro expansion in tho rubber ir.~dus~!'y resulted in a. mushroom growth from· 1910 to 19301 during which period . the popula.tion increa.sed from 79,ooo·to 2551 000e2. Four of tho largest rubber companies in .. the country ... Goodyear, Firestone, Goodrich a.nd Gonornl .;. aN loca.ted in Akron. Other less prominent indu~trios are milling a.nd clny products; also many indirectly connected with tho manufa.cture of rubber products.3 ·va1uo of: o.ll industrio1 products deqlin6d from $598,000,000 in 1929 to $236,0001 000 in 1933, with n decrease in number of wo.ge enrnors from 67,000 to 43,000 for tho sa.mc period.4 Employment shows a.n increase of 20,000 between 1932 o.nd 1934, but tot&l wages po.id remained a.bout the same. This condition hns resulted in a. labQr dispute in the rubber industry'S but serious conflict hns been averted through intervention by the Department of Labor. 6 With fe'l(l exceptions wngo sco.les in tho building trndes a.re the same o.s 1929.7 There hns been n decline in the number of co.ses on relief rolls.S

Transfers rectlrdod since 1933 show- increased sa.los with 8.1.137 recordings during the first, ten months of 1935.1 Records indico.te tho. t the tott:l.l number of foreclosures for tho first ten months of 1935 exceed the tota.l in o.ny previous yeo.r, developing this yoa.r a. t tho rate of 140

In 1933 the totnl of 1,216 permits·· had· !X_ ;value of $7541 000. Ton monthi> of 1935 show 1,660 permits with value of $1,250.1000.. Dwelling permits dropped from 2~>159 in 1927 to 31 in 1933, o.nd.increns<lld to 83 for the-first ton months of 1935.3 The concensus of .opinion of lending realtors a.nd building and loo.n officials is. tho.t the shrinko.gc in rea.l estate va.lues between 1929 a.nd 1935 is 40% in the "A" or best a.rea.s• nnd fr.oin 50% to 60% in tho less desirable areas,4 There ho.s been n rccotlt approcia.-

. tion in so.lo'S~ price of 15% to 20% in the bottGr areas, o.nd nbout 10% in tho poorer districts.5 A survey by the Real Esto.te Boa.rd on Mny 15, 1935 shows a. renta.l 'va.cancy of 1.8%, a.s compa.r.od with 2.3% in December 1934, a.nd 8% in 1931. It is estimated that present va.co.ncios will run 2% .to 3%. Construction costs have not declined a.pprcoia.bly a.nd nrc genera.lly estimated to be only 10% or 12% below 1929 level •. Union wnges in the building trades hnve hnd virtually no reduction;6 Tho chief detrimonta.l influence to real estate is the presence of rubber reclaiming plants in the southwestern portion of Jucron.7 Approxima.tely 5,740 foreclosed properties with n total do11a.r volume of ~17~500,000, are in the hnnds of the nino largest holders.

Mergers and reorganizations over the last ton year period hnvo reduced ' banks and trust companies from a total of fifteen to the four which are now

opel:"ating.l The First Central Trust (reorgo.niza.ed) is tho only one presently active in the mortgage lending .field. It has made 363 ioo.ns on residential property, totaling ;~1, 352,000 since its reorgo.nizo.tion in Ja.nuary 193,41 50% of which were straight loo.ns. It has ~400 1 000 in new applications now under consideration. Present lending is limited to 50% of appraisal based on today's vo.luntion, except in case of F.H.A. loo.ns wherein tho institution will go to tho SO% mnximume2 Tho interest rate is 6% for o. ton-year periods and where loans are amortized thoy provide for 1% monthly payment. There is no commission, charges being limited to nctunl expenso.3 Liquidation of tho assets of tho old First Central Trust Company will .und!)ubtedly place a heavy burden on the real estate market, Liquidation hgent reports 400 parcels of roo.l osto.to owned which are baing· cari"ied o.t ~3, 7481 000, In o.ddi tion they ho.vo 1,006 mortgages to~ling ~9, 7131 0001 one-half of which are in litigation, Tho potential a.c .. quisition of those properties constitutes a Illllterio.l i'o.ctor·in future overhang,4 Voluroe of real estate owned by functioning banks is too small to be a considera• tion, nnd ~hey ho.ve practically no pending poreclosures.5 However, a total of

, $4,0401 000 in ncquired property is held by banks in liquidation, constituting qpproxime.toly 25% of present overhang. Tho three principal mortgage companies in .Akron arc tho Rerberich-Hall-Harter Company (largest), Esselburn-Ellis Compo.ny,. and Tho Banker.s Guarantee Title rm.d Trust Company. All three hav.e funds available for lending. Such funds nrc a.t present almost entirely from life insurance companies for which tho respective institutions are agents~ but due to strict requirements imposed on borrowers, few loans are being tnnde. 6 These three

.mortgage companies ei thor own or control a. combined total of 21 090 po.rcels in acquired property carried at·approxima.tely $7,763,000. Tota.l in pending foreclosures is estimated at 900,. value approximately 03,ooo,ooo.7 The Herberich· Hall-Ha:rter Company controls the major· portion of this overhang with 11 600 parcels va.l.ued in excess of $5,0001 0001 o·f w·hich app,roxi:ms.toly $2_. 380 1 000 is in 680 properties e:cquirod by them for the Wayne Building and Loan Company and the Peoples Building cmd Loa.n Company both of Wooste,r, Ohio, for both of whom the Her.berich~Hall~Harter Company nets in the capacity of lending agent~ The nggrego.to loans serviced' by the Iterborich-Ho.ll-Ha.rtor Company for those two institutions is approxilllCdJely $n,ooo,ooo. It wo.s estimated by Mr. Hcrberich that o.bcut 500 o.ddi tiono.l properties will be foreclosed for tho Wayne and Peoples Building and. Loan companies, and another 500 for their three subsidiary compnnios't accounts. Tho Herborich-Ho.ll .. Ho..rte;r Company hns not only been an active developer of subdivisions, but has· dono much construction throut;h subsidiary companies and has loaned more money on real estate than any group in this vicinity. Tho principal insul:"ance compani os roprosontcd by this company are tho Ohio No.tiono.l of Cincinnati, the Midland Mutual of Columbus, and the Columbia. of Cincinnati.s Based upon the information obtained, a tremendous amount of additiono.l renl estate will »avo to be acquired and disposed of before Akron can again be in a heal:thy. condition from a mortgage lending stCI,lldpoint. A very hazardous situation might dovol9P• (Mr. Fergus' memorandum to the Chairman, December 141 1935 - copy to Board Mbmbers.} .Additional insurance companies lending money in this area thro~gh correspondents are:

. • EXPLANATION

AKRON, OHIO

The purpose of the Residential Security Map is to reflect graphically the trend

of desirability in ne:i.ghborhoods from a residential view-point. As indicated by the

legend, four classifications are used, namely: First, Second, Third and Fourth

.grades with corresponding code letters of A, B, C and: D, and colors of Green, Blue,

Yellow and Red respectively.

In classifying an area, such factors as these were cohsidered: intensity of the

sales ~nd rental demand; percentage of home ownership; age and type of dwelling; eco~

nomic stability; social status of the population;. sufficiency' of public utili ties,

accessibility of schools, churches and shopping centers; adequacy of transportation;

topography; and the restrictions set up to protect the neighborhood. The price level

of the homes was not the guiding factor ~ desirability from a residential viewpoint

was.

Tho First grade or·A areas are, in nearly all instances, now, well-planned soc-

tions, not yet fully developed, and almost synonymous with the areas where good mort-

gage lenders with avniluble funds are willing to muko their maximum loans to be rumor-

tizod over a 10•15 year period. They are homogeneous and in demand us rosidontiQl

locutions in 11 good timos 11 or "bad"; hence on the up-gro.do. Tho Second r:rade orB

o.roas, as a rulo, nro completely dove loped. Within recent years they have rco.chod

their peak, should continuo to be static for c. number of years c.nd ro:rnc..in desirable

plo.cos in which to live.. The Third grude or C arcus nro often chc.ractorizod by o.gc,

obsolosconce, and chango of styloJ expiring restrictions or lack of them; infiltrc.-

tion of n lower grudo population; tho prcsonoo of influences which increase sales

rosist•mcc such us inc .. dequuto transportation, insufficient utilities, heavy spocinl

assessments, poor mnintonunce of homos., otc.. "Jerry" built o.rous uro included, as

woll us neighborhoods lucking homogeneity o.nd those within such n low price or rent

ns to nttro.ct nn undosirc.blo element. Gonoro.lly, those a.rous have roc,chod tho trunsi·

tion period, having soon their bost days. Tho Fourth grndo or D areas represent thos

neighborhoods in which the things that o.ro now to.king plc.co in the C. neighborhoods

have o.lroo.dy happanod. They o.ro cho.ro.ctorizod by detrimental influc;ncos in a pro

nounced degree, such ns undesirable populntion or un infiltra.tion of; it; often a. low

porcento.go of homo ownership; poor muintono.nco of homos; possible vnndulism; unsto.blc

8. DESCRIPTlON AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:

8. DESCRlPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA: This is the finest, newest residential section in the city. Originally developed in 1920 as an ultra-exclusive district, separate from Akron, this area was named the Villnge of Fairlawn. Howevm the severity of .the 1930 decline in hon¥3 construction in this rapidly developed urea:, due to its very exclusiveness and unwarranted size, oa:used:the promoters to petition for a-nnexation. This wo.s npproved by the City of Akron 'in 1932. The :mo.in pa.rt, containing the most beautiful and expens.ive homos (o. few cost as high a.s $70,000) lies 'south of' the Akron-Medina Rood on an a:rtistioclly landscuped, heavily wooded plateau. (Since plateau rises approximately 100 feet above the A. c. Y. ra.ilroo.d c;t south end, there is littlo if a.ny influence by this usual detrimorit.) 1he lots average 70 foot frontnge and o.ro tra:~ersed,by excellent winding streets (70% :iin c.retl po.ved) •. Tho aroo. is now built up 3f)%--formerly, the minimum improvement restriction was $15,000 but now hns been rod4ced to $12,500 Six homos from $14,000 up wore built i~ nr.cn lc.st ye~r. Due to the oityts woa:k f'ino.ncio.l condition,· instnllo.tion of utilities ha.s boon slow nnd [has delnyod dovolopmont of' c.roo.. How·ovcr, o.ll utilities now ha.vo boon insto.lled except gas o.nd eloctrio:i.ty in 50% of nroo. (mostly undeveloped) •. Schools, churches, o.nd stores are convoniont, trnnsporta:tion is only fair, but not important to this type of rosidont. North part surrounds tho excellent Fnirltwm Golf Course.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACfERISTICS OF AREA:

This very desirable residential area, surrounding the exclusive Portage Country Club (Golf and Tennis) and bordering the beautiful Metropolitan Park System, was developed between 1922-1929 as a highly restricted dj_strict averaging 65-70 foot lot frontage (except northwest corner part containing smaqer lots and cheaper homes). Many large estates abu"tt or are located in this area (Firestone Seiberling, etc.). No attempt w~s made to ev~luate or include these luxurious homes in the above price brackets. The topogro.phy of the areo. :i,s level to rolling and excellent wooded (some -virgin), affording scenic view, Only slight disturbance is caused by the traversing:}.. c. & Y.. Ro.ilrond sin(le but two tro.ins pass each day and the·roo.dbod lias considerably lower thnn surrdunding territory. At present the urea is built up 25 per cent; homos average 50-ft set back from the well-paved streets; boulevard lighting throughout; good transportation; excellent schools (King Gra.de School .. finest in city); store center is rather distant but this is not importa.nt to type of rosidont. Tho cheaper area lying off Garman Road immediately north of the Country Club will improve nnd tend to conform with standard of aron when more fully developed. Six homos were built in this district la.st yenr.

As a result, although improvements are in tho ma.jor.ity woll built and woll kQpt, tho area (north pert) suffers from overexpansion (no gas linos north of Pierce and Franklin Avonuos; built up 35-40%; 25% streets paved, balance woll gra.dcd nnd cindered) • Another fo.ctor which seriously nff'octod ·this section wo.s the di scontinunnco of tho Clevoland & SW nnd Yqungstown-Wnrron intorurbo.n linos o.nd romovo.l of their shops hero in 19 25•26.

This district wns a part of the city of Kenmore until annexation by the City of Akron in 1929. The earliest development consisted of cheap small homes by owners attracted by the cheapness of lund and encouraged by the lack of restrictions and absence of utilities. Later development and installation of utilities brought the building of better type homes. The subject area surrounds the short business district of Kenmore which lies on Kenmore Boulevard between 11th and 18th Streets. The average lot fro~tage is 40 feet; built up 50%; transportation fair to li~ited; schools, churches and stores convenient only to southern nnd eastern parts of urea. The best homes and most desirable section of tho urea lie infthut part cast of 13th Street between Indian Trail and Montana - Viewlund Avenues. This sootion, situated on a plateau and known as Overlook Allotme*t, wns platted into n first•olass residential district of 50-foot front lot$--is now 75% built up and will improve. H~ovor, general outlook for bal~nce of area is only fnir and little hope exists for improvement of oontr~l western part due to cheapness of homos and low locality.
