Says All Male
Citizens Should
Pay State Tax
Real Estate Association
Advocates Levying on In
comes Over ZOO

The executive committee OF the Real
Estate Association Of the State Of New
York favors the adoption Of a law re-
curing every male citizen TO pay some
tax in support Of the state government.
1t thinks that such an income tax
should provide for q minimum tax Of
not less than s. and not more than
$40. and that no exemptions Of incomes
over $1,000 should be allowed. This ac-
ton was taken at a recent meeting Of
he executive committee held az the
Onondaga Hotel. Syracuse. n. Y. at
which Fenton NJ Parke, first vice
president, OF Buffalo, presided.
A special committee was appointed 20
recommend TO the State Legislature
the passage at this session Of bill
providing for "A state income tax along
the general lines OF the bill recon-
mended last year by Senator Ogden
Mills. The executive committee has
agreed 70 assist II in its campaign.
Among the other measures which re
ceived the unqualified Endorsement Of
the association was the bill for taxing
and registering real estate brokers. cou-
pied with a bill regulating the bust
ness. This bill was almost unanimous
ly approved by the recent convention
of the association at Long Beach, and
similar bills have been introduced IN
several states Of the Union and will be
doubtless enacted into law.
After a very full discussion Of the
proposed amendments 20 the law gov
erning land title registration, the bills
were referred TO a spcial committee
consisting Of James Frank, Of Wood
mere; Raymond Porter. Of Syracuse;
William J. Russell, of Ogdensburg;
Charles F. Warner. Of Buffalo, and
Aiming s. Prall, of Staten Island. The
committee gave its unanimous approval
20 the passage Of bill authorizing saw
ings banks and trust companies 20 loan
on registered land titles.
The committee unanimously indorsed
the bill 20 permit investment Of trust
and savings funds in bonds secured by
first mortgages on real estate and will
take an active interest in the passage
Of such legislation.

Certificates of
Occupancy Not
Yet Satisfactory
Recent Orders Show Build
ing Inspection Functions
Not Unified
BY the Advisory Council of Real Estate
Interests

By the Advisory Council of Real Estate
Interests
The Advisory Council Of Real Estate
Interests and Fire Commissioner Adam
son are trying 10 devise some plan
whereby the certificate Of occupancy
issued by the Building Department
shall constitute a clean bill Of health
with regard TO all orders that may have
been issued by other departments hav-
ing to do with the construction or al
iteration of buildings. The Lockwood
Elleabogen law. which purposes 20
unity building inspection, was essen
tally compromise measure. 10 did
not accomplish the consolidation OF
functions which was desired. To call
the Lockwood-Elleno ogen law a meas
ure which centraliZes inspections OF
buildings is a misnomer, although con-
siderable progress was made along
these lines by the adoption Of the bill.
Probably the most glazing and con-
spicuous examples of the fact that all
the building inspection functions have
not yet been properly unified is the
present custom Of the Building Depart
ment with regard 20 certificates Of oc--
cupancy. Whenever the violations Of
the law have been removed and the or
ders Of the Building Department COM
Piled with, a certificate of occupancy
is issued 70 indicate that such is the
case. The Building Department, how
ever. after examining a building 70 see
whether IL complies with the orders OF
the Labor Department, then notifies
the Fire Department, which issues a
dismissal. This seems TO be round
about way. although the law specifically
states that the Fire Commissioner Is
authorized 20 send a copy of his order
of the violation 10 the Superintendent
of Buildings. and that the Superintend-
ent o. Buildings shall then notify the
Commissioner when plans are filed TO
comply with any order Of the Fire Com
missioner. and when the work TO be
done pursuant TO any such order IS
completed" IL does not state, how
ever. that il is necessary for the Fire
Commissioner himself 10 issue a dis
rnissal. for il would seem as II the
Lockwood Ellenbogen Law contemplates
that the action by the superintendent
