Ask Hylan to Gust
Hearst From Board
On Mortgage Loans
Brooklyn Real Estate Brok-
ers Base Request on Ar
ticle in "American"

A delegation of the Brooklyn Board
of Real Estate Brokers. headed by its
president, William P. Rae, called upon
aoainst the retention of w. r. Hearst
as a member of the Mayors Committee
on Taxation and the investigation OF
Mortgage Loans. The board represents
through it's members thousands or
small home owners. The delegation
was unable to see the Mayor and left
a letter for him which was adopted ny
the Board of Brokers at regular
meeting held Tuesday.
The real estate brokers based their
protest against Hearst on an article
on the financial page of The Ameri-,
can" on May 13 which said: GAS to real
estate mortgages ] do not believe any
funds whatever should be invested at
this time" and declaring the renewal
of mortgages at this time "can be con-
sidered bad business"
The letter, which was signed by
President Rae. follows:
Some time ago you appointed commit
tee and directed it to take up the SUBJ
ject of taxation. in conjunction with the
Tax Commission, so as to relieve the bur-
den on real estate: also to investigate in

date of May 13. 1918, page l2 there are
headlines as follows:

About the middle of the article it says
'As to real estate mortgages, do net be.
