HIT BY NEW BILL
Committee Would Make It Grim
inal Act to Profiteer in
Loans on Homes
BIG DROP IN BUILDING

Leading real estate dealers. onerators
and civic leaders are drafting a hill for
the next Legislature which would make
profiteering in household mortgages a
criminal offense.
A member of the joint committee of
the Philadelphia housing committee and
the Philadelphia Real Estate Board nd :
mitted that the bill was rapidly beinp
whipped into shape.
The legislation would make IL n
crime for an official of building and
loan association or an employe OF sucb
an organization to-, charge or receive
either directly or indirectly, any com
mission or fee for the placing of n
mortgage with the association.
1t would also prohibit ''cut throat
competition. the "kiting" Of premiums
and the swallowing up of building and
loan funds for large industrial or com :
mercial operations. such as moving pic =
ture theatres, warehouses or store prop
critics.
Builders and many real estate men
declare that large sums of building and
loan association money are being tied
up in such commercial projects adding
to the stringency Of the money market
for home buyers.
A shortage of men engaged in the
building trades was reported.
Lack of workmen IL also hamperinl

operator said today.
