Work of Organization Reviewed
by President Judd at
Convention.

The sixth annual convention Of the Ma
tional Association Of Real Estate Ex-
changes. held last wees al Winnipeg.
Canada, was the most successful in the
history Of the organization.
Edward s. Judd president Of the as
ISOLATION. in reviewing the work done
and the aims of tho organization, said
in part as follows:
Your association nov includes eighty
three boards. having approximately six
thousand members. an increase Of fifteen
boards. or about . per cent, over the
membership az tha time Of the Louis
willie convention in June last year.
The constantly increasing sphere II
influence Of the national association
makes Il possible 10 look forward 10 tho
time when there shall ~ an active local
real estate board I'm every city of Canada
and the United States having a popula-
ton Of 1900 or over. and all of these
boards be affiliated with the national as
ISOLATION.
A pleasing feature Of the years work
has been the prompt response OF the local
boards when resolutions have been re-
ferred on matters Of national legislation.
The work on behalf Of the resolution OF
the WASHINGTON D. -. board, asking
that Congress deal fairly and generously
in the matter Of appropriation for the
District Of Columbia, will doubtless bring
results in due course.
- am glad TO be able 20 report that a
a result Of resolutions adopted al the
meeting Of the executive committee a
Cincinnati. and action taken by many
local boards az the suggestion ~ the
nationa! association, the income tax feat
ure Of the new tariff law in the United
States has been amended as requested.
so that rents received by landlords are
10 fe treated as other income. instead
~ the tax being withheld and paid 20
the government by the tenant. This
change will result In the saving Of
large amount Of annoyance and injustice
10 real estate owners. which would have
resulted had not the amendment been
made.
We know the benefit Of our local real
estate boards. some Of which have mad
over thirty years Of successful grown
but there are many cities In which ne
