Woodworth, secretary Of the Garfield
Real Estate Company, Rochester, n. Y,
in an article about the bill in the June
number of 1.-THE Real Estate Magazine.
1T was then placed in the hands of a
special committee empowered TO further
perfect the bill and TO bring it TO the
attention OF real estate interests i'm all
PARTS Of the state and to have It intro
duced at tho special session of the Legis-
lature if possible. The following commit

Real estate brokers have long been dis
cussing methods Of standardizing their
business, eliminating the dishonest or fake
brokers and obtaining a central bureau
that will conserve the immense real
estate interests of the state. The move
ment has been discussed in every large
gathering Of real estate men, but no bill
has ever been introduced into the Legls-
lature.
1T would appear that workable plan
has now been devised that viii effect all
/ Of these objects at a nominal expense
to the real estate brokers and without
I calling upon taxpayers for one dollar.
THE brokers appointed on the spe-
! cial committee of the state association
have been studying this matter for
several years and believe that the per-
! fected bill will be preferable to any other
measure heretofore proposed.
! The New York State association will
formally pass upon the bill at its conven-
| ton, to be held in New York City in Sep
TENDER. The cooperation of every real
/ estate broker, agent or manager Of any
estate is anticipated. The bill will not be
/ in the interest Of any one class OF brokers
and the smallest dealer will benefit more
/ in proportion than will the larger Offices.
"A special bulletin will be issued by the
state association setting forth the bill
and all arguments relating to it. This
bulletin will be sent TO all members and
TO any others who apply The chairman
OF the committee will be glad to have
every correspondent state his opinion as
to necessary provisions or reforms that
should be perfected by such a law.
"A later issue will contain the complete
text as prepared by the committee. In
the mean time the committee through its
chairman requests that every member Of
the profession give this measure his ear
nest consideration, with a view 10 perfect
/ ing the bill and making it worthy of his
hearty support when it IS presented TO
the Legislature at its next session
"Slnce the meeting the members OF the
committee have been in ccnstanc commu-
nication and II. l.. Reed has served as a
/ Subcommittee to obtain n tentative hin
