of reform in the methods of transferring title 10
real estate IN this state. Pursuant To authority
given at a public meeting on April !, Mr.. Oinlsteau
had appointed q committee of forty-twO we'll
known citizens TO act on the question. Only i've OF
SIX of these attended the committee meeting last
night. Nh Ohnstead said that the audi
ence must not think because the numbers
present were small that there were not enough
men in the city sufficiently Interested to
carry out the reform Senator Homer A. Nelson
was heartily in favor of 1t. Legislation was neces-
sary TO carry il out. The committee could do better
work If il organized itself into an Incorporated
society Score tary Jackson supported the views OF
the chairman. Mr. Ohnstead then SAID that Ill a
certain sense he represented the committee he had
appointed. They wanted to put the reform through
but they would not attend committee meetings

and also To capitalize all real estate, putting IL In
the same position TO capital as Government
