Important Realty Meeting.
meeting of the utmost importance
to real estate men, Office building
managers and property owners gen
l.. l. ! L.,
the Chamber of Commerce rooms on
the fifth floor of the Empire Building.
At this time the question Of the pend
ing income tax measure Of the Federal
tariff bill will be thoroughly discussed,
and IL is belieevd that a formal pro-
test against some items of the meas
ure will be lodged with United States
Senators A. o. Bacon and Hoke
Smith.
The bill has passed the House and
is now up to the Senate. A provision
which realty men and building man
ayers find obnoxious is that which
provides that tenants shall withhold
rents from landlords. The bill, II IS
contended, represents double taxation.
Fxpenses will be taxed as well as in
come, and corporations doing business
at a loss will be taxed on their losses
Charles P. Glover has sent out no
tees of the meeting in the name OF
the Atlanta Real Estate Board, and II
is expected that large NUMBER OF
people will be present.
