| Chairman Penfield of Houston reported
as follows for the committee on organiza-
tion:
I'VE deem 1T inadvisaIble as probably
| impiactiaable, TO form any compact for the
regulation OF our business, though we rec
ogniza that There are many evils waiS h
| might be overcome by a strictly enforced
compact.
I'VE believe THAT the general good of the
real estate business can be promoted by tne
corporation and interchange of social re-
lations between those engaged in the bust
ness throughout The State. with the State
meetings or conventions once a year.
we therefore recommend the organiza-
lion at this time of the Texas State n al
Estate association to be composed OF real
estate agents, dealers and land owners,
with officers as follows: "a president a
