LIVELY INQUIRY
FOR PROPERTY
Dealers Report Many Prospec-
tive Investors in Local
Realty Field.
CITY NEEDS NUMBER
OF NEW INDUSTRIES
This Is Statement of Well
Known Local Real Estate
Broker.

The feature Of the real estate market
during the last week was the increased
Inquiry for all classes OF property. Deal
ers say there are more prospective buy
ers in the field, which is 4 good indI-
cation OF better things to come. Nc
deals OF particular moment were closed
though there Is number in the MAX
ing, il is said.
Loans are harder to obtain at the
present time than they were a year ago.
The tight condition of the money market
has had a. direct suppressive effect on
all lines OF business and especially on
the real estate market, During the last
little bit. but not enough TO give more
than appreciable impetus 10 a rather

City Needs New Industries
The argument OF the real estate men
the greatest growth are the ones that
have q number OF big manufacturing in
dustrfes, to which are constantly being
added new ones. Many manufacturing
plants, they say, mean steady payrolls.
and. steady payrolls mean more money
available for hundreds OF employees for
expenditure and investment
One dealer said that TO encourage the
entrance into the Salt Lake field Of
more industries, the Commercial club
should be In a position to offer land
for manufacturing sites at very low
cost This dealer said such a thing
could be done, If the club bought up a
large tract of what is now practically

that the demand just at present is for

PROTEST AGAINST
THE CURB BROKER
Real Estate Dealers May Take
Steps to Protect Local
Customers.

The alleged action of J.. a. Drew. alias
the Western Craftsman In leaving the
city recently, taking with him the first
payments on number of homes and
leaving besides n number OF building
companies in the lurch. has caused the
responsible real estate dealers to make
an informal protest against oily tongued
strangers coming in and, by their blan-
dishments. coaxing money out OF the
pockets OF the unwary. II Is likely that
steps will be taken TO stop the practice
by law. Just how other states have over
come tho difficulty is told in the Ma
tional Real Estate Journal. as follows;
"One OF the most difficult problems that
confront the legitimate real estate deal
ers Is the competition OF the man who
calls himself a broker but whose opera
tions are confined TO fleeing the unwary
and attempting TO secure commissions
on transactions originated by regular
dealers He generally is as ingenious as
he Is interruptions and for this reason
has done more TO discredit the real es-
tate profession than any other one
agency. People who have been swinded
by the curb-stoner are liable to classify
head and Imagine that all brokers will
take advantage OF their clients when
they have the chance.
In cities where there are active real
estate exchanges the curbstone broker
is less active than where the regular
dealers are not organized, but In some
or the cities where the legitimate real
estate men are working together the
irresponsible broker Is stlll factor.
For Instance. the Louisville exchange.
during the past month. has found it nee
essary to give serious attention to this
subject and Insist that the law requiring
brokers to procure a license be strictly
enforced,
'In Colorado. a concerted movement is
on foot TO secure from the next session
Of the legislature the passage of law
providing for the licensing and bonding
OF realty dealers, with a view TO pro-
tccting the good name of the state and
preventing homeseekers from the east
being bunkoed by fake land schemes
The licensing system appears to be
the most effective way OF dealing with
these so-called brokers, since few OF them
are able or willing 10 comply with the re-
quirements OF a strictly enforced llcens-
ing law"
