missions and looks after the property
himself.
Good brokers save money for property
owners by skilful management They can
get better rates for repairs, because OF
the large quantity Of work which they
control. They promote activity In the
real estate market and increase property
values.
1.-The duties of an agent include that
most important function, the finding OF
tenants. The active agent does not con-
tent himself with sitting in his office and
waiting for the tenant to come In. He
goes out after business: he follows up
every possible clew. and he looks out for
strangers coming TO town he hears first,
ahead OF others. thai some one Is going
TO move: he travels with the shutters OF
his eyes and ears hanging wide open
he doesn't wait for things TO happen, he
makes them happen, and he gets tenants
for his landlord.
"As rule, tenants prefer to deal with
agents. rather than owners. The agent
doesn't send Cor doctor when the tenant
tells MN iildi hht D'Nc PntNi ia Ni'c 49,
ing room is peeling of. and that his wife
always did prefer pink paper, anyway,
and that two spigots are leaking in the
bathroom. and the rain-spouting is
broken and the water is undermining
your nelghbors wall. and the neighbor is
about TO sue for damages The agent
fairly thrives on that sort OF thing-it Is
his daily food-and he doesn't even look
surprised. What might be a staggering
blow 10 the landlord is to the agent only
an incident in his daily occupation.
while some property owners may pos
sess the requisite experience TO enable
them 10 deal successfully with the many
intricate problems constantly arising be-
tween landlords and tenants, most per-
sons would be far better off with their
property in the hands OF some reliable
agent, who will take the burden OF COM
plants, and deal with the workmen who
make repairs. and exercise his own judy
ment in handling complicated situations.
As. for example. when the lady in the
fourth floor apartment loves to play the
piano and the lady on the third floor is
not musical" The landlord expects his
rent every month, however, and the
agent must either discover some method

EXPERT MANAGEMENT
Qualities Needed to Success
fully Care for Property.
ONE OF THEM IS TACT
Most Tenants Prefer to Deal
with Agents in Charge
of Premises.

Tact. care, judgment and patience are
four qualities which must be possessed IN
a high degree by the. agent who would
successfully manage property" says Ed
win l.. Turnbull in The National Real
Estate Journal" He further says. III
any one thinks it simple matter to save
money for the landlord and at the same
time keep the tenants, let him try It.
With much vacant property, tenants are
more FESTIVE and difficult to please. II
you do not comply with their terms some
other landlord who has space to rent will
do so.
"A brief vacancy might eat up the
profits OF an entire year.
Some property owners undertake to
manage property themselves. with the
idea that they are saving commissions.
and losing sight of the fact that II is far
more expensive TO carry vacant property
than to pay brokerage. Would 1t be good
economy for an owner TO carry vacant
for a year a house that should rent for
81 600. II by employing an active broker
al a commission OF $50 he could rent the
house in three months? Net loss TO the
property owner, including the commission
$500. as against 1900 IL he saves COM

MANY CHANGES IN TOWN
Principal Civic Need of Bloom
field Is a City Hall.
BY WILLIAM HAUsER,
Mayor of Bloomfield. n. j.

Bloomfield's position to-day compares
very favorably with any OF our suour-
ban sections In the past few years
many very marked changes have been
effected, and the Bloomfield OF 1913 is a
new one.
The first change OF note is the elevatlng
Of the Lackawanna Railroad tracks at
the Centre and the depressing at the
Watsessing stations. The approaches are
pleasing to the eye. the station build
ings attractive, and the walks and roads
of up-to-date construction The I'M
preston upon the visitor reaching either
station is that he has arrived at a pro-
gressive, growing town.
This is further added to when he hnds
our main streets and sidewalks o. mod
ern sanitary construction; the electric
lighting system of the best; the nigh ana
grammar schools things to be proud Oh
and. as a whole, every thing changed Tor
the better
Many new industries have come TO
town, and new faces appear everywhere
Buildings of costly construction have
been erected the past few years, and
has hgh-class playhouse, crowded
nightly, and pleasing all. New houses OF
this class are planned for the near
future.
The one great need oi the town. how
ever. appears to be a town hall, since
the present quarters are inadequate from
every point Of view. A very desirable
plot has recently been purchased In the
centre of the town, but there seems 10
be no pressing desire to erect any oulio-
ing at this time. The visitor, observing
our new high school, the savings panK'
the trust companys building, the new
Baptist church, the recently constructed
postofice. and others, naturally asks Tor
the town hall. but is disappointed.
A project is on foot, it is said. 10 form

a view of exchanging ideas and bringing
about a new civic spirit, and advocating
measures which will tend to still fur
Their advance the welfare and progress
Of Bloomfield. With right-minded' pub
uc-spirited men at the helm, sucn re-
suit is bound to be achieved.
