Almost Maximum Sentence
Then the jury came back and the
sentence OF the court was pro-

fifteen years. 1t is almost the mini

der Connecticut law.
/ The slender woman received the
sentence without faltcring. No tear
fell. Her head was not bent as she
turned to leave. and she walked
from the courtroom unsupported.

THINKS LAWS
HURT REALTY
il. Weaver Urges Revision
Of Revenue Acts Before
Virginia Convention.

Richond, Va, Oct 22.-Early re-
vision of the harmful internal rev.
enue acts which have had the effect
of diverting money from the real
estate field was predicted here to-
night by John L. Weaver, Of Weaver
Brothers, realtors of Washington,
D. c. He made the prediction in the
course of an address which he de-
livered at the banquet of the newly
organized Virginia Real Estate As
sociation. Weaver represented Fred
E. Taylor, president Of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards.
Basing his opinion on conferences
which he had during his travels
over the country. weaver predicted
the revision will take the form Of
a gross sales tax, which, he believes,
will largely correct the evil which
has been responsible for shortage
of money in the realty field.
Blames Tax Exemptions.
He discussed the revenue acts at
fsome length. particularly as to how
they had affected the housing situa-
tion. Exemption from income tax
of money invested in certain classes
of preferred bonds was responsible
for a vast amount OF capital being
taken from real estate mortgages
and other natural channels. he said.
Weaver came here TO assist the
realtors Of the Old Dominion State
in their work of organizing a State
wide body.
Walter T. Weaver, brother. and
supervisor of Arlington County,
spoke at the final business session
of the convention in favor of the
constitutional good roads and
school amendments which are to be
voted on at the coming elections.
Licensing of realtors was en-
dorsed by the convention They IA
vOred the issuance of licenses only
to those brokers OF recognized
standing who enjoy the full conf
dence OF their respective communi
ties. The code OF ethics of the ma
tional association was heartily en-
dorsed and approved.
