REAL ESTATE.
Important Work by the Real
Estate Exchange.

Some time ago a committee was appointed
by the Real Estate Exchange to devise some
method by which the great hindranceS to
real estate dealers could be removed. One
was the large number Of "blackmail suits"
which cloud the titles of many large tracts,
causing great inconvenience and annoyance.
The other was the custom of appointing
special counsel for the collection of delin-
Queut taxes. The committee has made the
following report:
To the President aud Directors Of the San
Francisco Real EStdte E1cldnqc-G GENTLEMEN:
The undersigned committee appointed 10 look
into the matter OF blackmail suits, respectfully
reports that Messrs. Oney, Chlckering Thomas
have not yet completed their examinations; but
are Informed by them that they are working as
siduiously on tile matter, aud expect TO pi esent
statement OF the condition Of The suits within a
short time.
Your committee further reports that a most
salutary change has been effected in the method
of collecting d linqu-nt personal taxes, aud that
the credit Is largely due 10 the Exchange. The
thanks Of the Exchange are largely due 10 lie
Board OF Supervisors for It's action in placing
the collec ion OF tile taxes IN the hands of the
Tax Collector instead OF employing special cOuu-
sci 10 DO II. We believe that the precedent es.
tablished will result In ab0lisbng the most ne
farlous system heretofore adopted, but suggest
that al the meeting Of the next Legislature bill
be introduced 10 prevent the employment OF coun-
sci, except Til ough the Tax Collector himself,
VINO is PROFESSIONALLY the proper PRISON 10 at
