REAL ESTATE MEN
WANT A LAND BANK
Exchange Holds Two Special
Meetings to Plan Campaign
to Bring Institution.
MYERS Is BIG BOOSTER

Though this is kind of vacation
season for the real estate men. and
the Omaha Real Estate Exchange
has ceased to hold regular weekly
meetings during the hot weather OF
the summer, the exchange has dur
ing the last two weeks, held two
special meetings.
In the absence of C. F. Harri-
son, president, who is taking a lit
lite vacation, Vice President Ed Sla-
ter presided at both meetings. They
were called especially to consider
the possibilities of getting one of the
twelve federal land banks located ir
Omaha. The real estate men wan,
one of them. Bankers say it would
make no difference to them one wav
or the other, that it would neither
help nor hinder the other banks OF
the city.
Real estate men say they want one
OF these banks in Omaha, and they
point out that this is a splendid field
for one.
Frank H. Myers, former president
of the Real Estate Exchange, points
out the great volume of farm loan
business done in Omaha and in the
state. In an opening statement, in
Producing Senator Hitchcock to
the Commercial club a few days ago
to talk on the federal land banks, Mr..
Myers declared that farm loans are
annually made in Omaha aggregat-
ing some $15,000,00O. He stated that
the rest of the state does another
$l5,0O0,0O0 worth annually, so that
the entire state does a land loan bus
mess annually of some some $30,00O,-
600.
Bank for Four States.
He gave what he considered an
ideal land bank district for this mid
die agricultural west as Nebraska,
Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri. He
would have the land bank for this
district, of course, located in Omaha.
The Real Estate Exchange at its
two meetings, decided to gather all
available data on Omaha and Ne
braska as favorable place to locate
a land bank and decided to work
jointly with the rest of the organiza-
tions in the city which are boosting
for such an institution.
Senator Hitchcock explained to
the Commercial club in his talk that
he had presented both the claims of
Lincoln and Omaha for land bank
to Secretary McAdoo, and that the
senator himself is interested first of |
all in getting bank for Nebraska,
and secondarily in the matter of
which city shall have it,
