TT is amazing to note the alertness of

tione and powers of attorney from the
owners-buying outright II they sense
a big enough prof1t-and all with but
a single thought: How much will the
government stand for? Dealing direct
with the owner, under such circum-
stances. is effectually barred. The
price that the owner might have been
willing to accept for his property is
loaded down with the brokers' fee, and
the difference will often hardly justify
the DELAYS and uncertainties incident to

erment. as I view it. ought at least TO
be permitted to stand on an equal foot

right to enter into agreements will,
