TOAD BUILDING
Association Urges Exemption
of Realty Mortgages From
Intangible Tax.

The Real Estate Brokers' Associa-
ton will urge the District Commits
sioners to recommend to Congress ex-
emption of real estate mortgages from
the local intangible tax. in accordance
with a resolution adopted yesterday
afternoon by the special housing COM
mittee of the association at meeting
in the Office of H. L. Rust.
The action was taken following dis
cussion of the financial situation with
regard to building, during wh1ch
members of the committee brought
out that something must be done at
once to attract the investor TO the neid
of real estate securities. Recently
several members of the association
announced that, as individual firms,
they had instituted a Z per cent in
terest rate on real estate investments,
in lieu of the per cent heretofore pre-
vailinE. Others have not taken TINS
step 1t is believed by real estate men
that the lifting of the intangible tax
burden from mortgages will have the
effect of making them more salable, re-
sulting in relief for the housing shortage.
Few Figures Submitted.
Charles W. Fairfax. chairman of the
committee. expressed disappointment
at the small number of replies re-
rcived TO the committees appeal for

Washington may be disclosed for the
benefit of the financial interests.
