To protect themselves against spectators who
make a business Of purchasing big tracts of land
without paying cash and then constructing rows
of houses on the site, contractors and dealers in
building materials have organized a board of trade
under the title of the Building Contractors and
Materialmen's Association, with headquarters at
No. 220 Broadway. The certificate of the assoca-
tion has been granted by a Supreme Court Justice
in Albany
At the headquarters of the new association one
of the officers said yesterday that the most an
nOying feature aboIt the manipulation OF the
spectators had been the impOssibility to convict
them of crime
They just keep clear OF the border line of the
criminal law. They form corporations and what
ever IS done is chargeable to the corporatioIT
while the real cuprits the fellows who get all the
money out of the scheme. escape with clean
hands,, added the speaker. I'm the name of The
