FALL CAMPAIGN
Long Programme ofActiv-
ity Arranged by United
Owners.
TWENTY COMMITTEES
STUDYING PROBLEMS
Henry Bloch Says Realty Has
Proved Itself To Be Safest
Investment.

At almost every public hearing at
which the finances or the real estate OF
the city has been discussed in recent
years the realty interests have been
represented in large numbers. The
fact that their activity is not to abate
but is to become stronger and more
general than before, is evidenced oS
the ambitious programme of the United
Real Estate Owners Associations a
their first fall meeting a few nights
ago at the Hotel Aston.
Henry Bloch, the president. in out,
lining the work of his association said
Yesterday: "All preparations have
been made for an energetic and vigor--
GUS campaign for the owners of real
estate in this city. We have twenty
active committees studying the many
problems confronting the properly
owner and helping to strengthen con-
fidenca in the ownership Of real es-
tate, which has in these troublesome
times proved itself to be the safest
and most secure of investments.
"Our budget committee has been
promised every facility in its study of
the departmental estimates OF the Vari-
Gus city departments. 1t is also graft
fving to know that plans are being
prepared seeking to bring about a
consolidation of several of the munich
nal departments having jurisdiction
over buildings--a project which our as
ISOLATION has advocated and VIII con
tinue to advocate vigorously. TINS

OF one of his greatest burdens. Multi
plicity of inspections and duplication
of orders by the city departments make
the ownership of real estate undeslr--
able. The owner now is often annoyed
and harassed by the many require
mcnts until he in bewilderment some
times wonders whether the city or he
owns the property for which he paid
"The opening of the headquarters
for taxpayers at 10 Broadway has
met with spontaneous approval among
realty interests.

A letter has been sent TO all mem

attention TO the serious consequences
that would result from a conhagration
at this time because Of existing imam
cial conditions. 1t was issued as re-
suit of recent correspondence between
a fire insurance company and the
board
The letter also calls attention TO
the necessity for agents warning hold
ers Of fire insurance policies to take
special precautions for safety; third,
to the urgent necessity of all members
of the Peal Estate Board notifying the
insurance companies where risks are
not sufficiently covered in proportion.
to the fire hazard.
The Real Estate Boards warning to
its members is in part as follows:
at is said that normal fire losses
have been heavy, and if a serious con-
flagratjon should come the existing
banking conditions would produce un-
usual results, as the fire companies
would have to sell securities. With
the Stock Exchange closed and prac-
tically no market, this would lead to
q disturbance which would be serious
to all.
Marshall Field & Co.. Of Chicago,
have instructed their help 20 be eX-
ceptionally careful at this time re-
garding fire hazard, and advise all 70

on this, says: Fire insurance compa-
MES arc about the only market where
man can realize a hundred cents on

Because of Hazard Real Estate Board Advises That Special
Precautions for Safety Be Taken by Agents
and Owners of Property

up in character, good housekeeping on
his own premises, safe control of fire
hazards, or doubtful financial condI-
ton, you should act in the interest Of
the companies, which is also the pub
lies at this time
1--WE beg to commend the entire
soundncss of the propositions to your
immediate notice Where there is any
doubt on your part as to the extra
hazard of the companies now, it IS
your immediate duty to advise the fire
insurance companies Of this fact so
they may take such action as they
deem advisable for the protection o.
themselves and the community at
large.
considering the large amount Of in
surance placed by the board members
acting as insurance brokers, it is
highly desirable that our members
take immediate action to convince in
surance companies that their interest
essentially is our interest, as we'll as
the interest Of the bulk of the policy
holders whose risks they now insure.
You cannot act too quickly in this
matter for the benefit Of all"
The warning is signed by Elisha
