On the Trail Of Brokers,
Buyers and Contractors
Topics Discussed by Persons Well Known in
Those Divisions of the Market.

The majority of real estate brokers and
property owners have recently been re-
minded that they ought to study the
provisions Of the secured debt law, which
went into effect last year.
The substance Of the law is given In
the last issue of the Bulletin OF the
House and Real Estate Owners Associa-
ton Of the 18th and 10Th Wards The
article Is in part as follows
THE law provides for the registration
Of securities, such as bonds, etc, OF cor
porations outside of the State OF New
York ard mortgages on real estate out
side Of the State Of New York.
1.-THE payment Of the tax Of "a per cent
will exempt such securities from local
taxation, provided such tax be paid be-
fore October !.
1.-THE State Board Of Tax Commission
ers has written to all assessors calling
their attention to the necessity OF making
an investigation as 10 the enforcement OF
the law. The probabilities are. therefore,
that all those whom the assessors believe
might possibly own bonds or other secu-
ties specified in the law will be assessed
Unless the y per cent is paid the holder
will be liable for the full personal tax

"A man with limited means can enter
contracting by taking sub-contracts tor
driving piles. Simple Jobs can be under-
taken first, and as money is earned pct
ter machines can be purchased that VIII
allow Of special work being undertaken
I'm wagon road work an easy method
for 4 man TO learn about this class or
construction is to purchase a steam roiler
and. IL possible, operate ii himself, rent
ing II 10 one or more contractors VINO
may be doing work in his neighborEood.
Nearly every building in a city to-day
has concrete foundations and footings'
and the outfit TO do such work Is not eN-
pensive. The beginner can get In touch
with building contractors and show tnem
that he can save them money in this class
OF work and yet give them quick ana
good Job. The first few jobs may be dit-
tlcult to obtain. but a few jos well done
will be the means of getting others.
AS soon as a contract is obtained
good foreman should be placed in charge
of the work. but the contractor should
give the JOB his personal attention. leav-
Ing it only TO see about other work.
IL seems TO be the rule in many brok-
erage circles TO discourage prospective
buyers becoming identified with building
loan associations. What is the cause or
this attitude? Thousands of little home
seekers cannot pay IS or 40 per cent OF
the purchase price for a home or home
site on taking title 10 the premises. SO
they need aid TO obtain their object, and
the broker who would not advise them 10
get that help through a building and loan
association is a menace TO the market.
He generally thinks that the only persons
worth working for are the big investors,
the men who frequently buy and sell the
most valuable properties.
At the annual convention OF the United
States League of Local Building and
Loan Associations held recently at At
lantic CITY Charles OConnor Hennessy
said i'm his annual address:
1T would be a surprise to most stu
dents Of financial institutions Of this
country to discover that the aggregate
assets OF our six THOUSAND associations
exceed Sl,oO0,O 10000, a fund representing
the Systematically accumulated savings
OF over 100000 members.
