Has l $50 Members
Nearly Largest in Country; New
Drive Expected to
Make II First
> The Editor Of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The attention of the Real Estate
Board has been called to q state
ment in The New York Tribune of JUN
7, stating that the Real Estate Board
OF New York hes membership of 521.
the Philadelphia Real Estate Board
o03; the Chicago Real Estate Board
1852, and the Cleveland Real Estate
Board, 698, and placing the New YorA
board as fourth in the list In this ar.
tlcle the deduction is made that the
Philadelphia Real Estate Board there
fore has membership more than SOC
per cent greater than the New Yorh
board"
ms matter was taken from the
monthly publication of the Pailadelphia
keaI Estate Board, and the figures arc
passed on a misunderstanding which
both the New York board and the Chi
cago board have tried to correct. and
wnlch correction was made in the Phila.
delphla boards organ before the pub.
hcatlon Of the statement in The Trih-
une.
The facts are that the Chicago hoard
small fee which makes its total mem
bership larger than that of any other
board in the country. The New York
board has membership of nearly :
$50, and not 521, as stated. The PhiIa-
delphia board, Immediately before the
announcement was made, had cam.
palgn which added about 1000 TO its
number. This explanation is made
merely for the purpose of correcting
the error into which your reporter fell
perhaps unintentionally.
The last campaign for membership
made by the Real Estate Board of New
York was in 1877. 1t is about to under.
take another extensive campaign. ane
II should be matter of local pride TO,
real estate owners, builders, architect,
and brokers TO see to it that Che Ne,
York board IS second to mono in th;,
country in influence and in numbers

C0Icuttu's Rents
To Stay Put for
Nest Three Years

Residents of Calcutta, white folks
and Hindoos, became so insensed
against protitecring landlords that
the Indian government was forced
to take action to prevent serious
outbreaks. Rents had been in
creased so much that white and
native folks organized associations
to fight the unjust increases and
SO loud and persistent were the de-
mands for reiet that the British
authorities were forced to hear and
they passed laws preventing land
lords raising rentals above the
level prevailing on April /, 1920,
for the next three years
No pretext will be accepted by
the civil authorities to allow a
higher income from residential
space than existed in April. The
law makers consider that no land
lord will suffer by the continuation
of this rate because it is far and
above the highest rental levels in
the real estate history of Calcutta.
If landlord decided that he will
increase his rental and it comes
to the attention of the civil authori-
ties he will not only have to re-
fund the amount of the increase
but will be fined $3.50 on the first
offense and $1,000 if he does it a
second time.
1t is drastic law from the view
point Of American standards. Folks
in India are some times impulsive
and it is the aim of English au-
thorities to see that the natives
have no opportunity to nurse q
grievance that might be formed
into demonstrative resentment.

Ssci1a ging Signs Not in
Fuuor on Madison Aue.

The absence of extended signs on
Fifth Avenue has created such
favorable sentiment among business
men and property owners on ada
cent streets that there is a growing
demand that the ordinance regulat-
ing signs in Fifth Avenue be
amended to include Madison Ave
nue. and some OF the cross streets.
Upon request of the Fifth Ave
nue. Association Alderman Cardani
introduced in the Board Of Alder
men an amendment to the sign
ordinance to the effect that no signs
be permitted TO extend more than
twelve inches beyond the building
line on Madison Avenue, between
Twenty third and Seventy-second
streets, and that no illuminated
signs be erected, except fat against
the wall.
The committee on welfare held
meeting on this amendment. After
this hearing the ordinance was
transferred TO the committee on
buildings and is still pending.

says:
That he was, with Mr.. Bales G

26th day of October, 1920, talked with
Jerome R. Collins, the head of the
colored clubs in Imperial Valley, and
on that occasion Collins stated to Mr.
Walker, that the colored people had a
thorough political organization, and
that the organization was almost un-
animously against Mr.. Conkling for
judge of the Superior court, because
Conkling as school trustee of El
Centro, had caused the separate school
to be established for colored children
and was in favor of separate schools.
He further stated that Mr.. Allen
had stated to him, that he, Allen, at
tended mixed school in his childhood
and he saw no reason for such separa-
ton. D

the most able classes in school. The
Juniors plan to emphasize the artistic
throughout and to make the annual OF
such quality as to be worthy Of the
school and Of such interest as to be
proudly kept as q remembrance OF
school days.
With an adherance to last years
policy in finances, La SOlana may be
expected to be a success financially.
II present plans are carried out q
policy Of school wide advertisement i
Central will be inaugaurateu ~ .re
Juniors. The school and city mcr-
chants may be depended upon 70 ma
terially help La Solana in f.GaH4lei
way.
Although the annual last year },,,c,;
