For the first time in the history OF
the board the members will be pre-
sented with a slate of names for the
various offices and committees, select
ed by an informal nominating COM
mittee. This committee. consisting OF
y. L. Sansbury, b. F. Saul. william II.
Saunders and George Y. Worthington,
was appointed in an informal way in
order to have in advance the names
! of those members who were available
for service and who We're willing to
accept office. 1t is the belief OF
realtors that the advantages OF nav
| ing a nominating committee Will be
recognized by the membership and
adopted as a permanent feature in
future elections.
Changes in bylaws.
Several changes in the bylaws
have been proposed and will be acted
upon at this meeting. One of the
principal changes suggested is COM
bining the office of treasurer with
d dual office in the interest of the
naturalization of the boards records
and also its business administration.
4 proposal to create the office OF sec
ond vice president as a result OF the
ILLUMINATION of the Individual office of
treasurer will be voted on at the same
time.
This will be the first formal meet
ing that the board has held since 1t
adopted a reorganization plan last
spring under which permanent offices
were acquired and placed in charge
| of an executive secretary. 1t is ex-
pected that the retiring administra-
+ tion will make very comprehen-
sive report of the progress of the
Organization and some definite sug-
gestions outlining the scope of ac-
tivity for the coming year will be
submitted to the members for their
Endorsement.

Boards Status Changed. F..
1t was stated today BY a prominent
|realtor that prior to the reorganiza-
tion the board was hardly more than
Il social organization of real estate
brokers. However. since the adop-
|tion of the reorganization plan it has
developed activities largely Of a
| civic character. The board is now
fast becoming one of the most active
|of our local civic organizations" he
said. TT is confining it's activities
Exclusively to matters pertaining to
real estate and the practice of the
|real estate profession. The brokers
generally throughout the city are
recognizing the influence and power
that the board is showing in stand
ardizing practices and fostering
ethical relations between brokers. In
many instances the public has recog-
nized the usefulness of the board and
has used it as a medium to adjust
questions that have arisen in connec-
ton with real estate transactions"
According to John \. Petty, eX-
ecutiye secretary, it is gratifying to
report that to date there has been
only one resignation. that being an
associate member. No active member
has resigned, and this fact evidences,
he points out, approval of the re-
organized board. 1t is understood
that il the suggestions for next year
are carried out a much larger num-
her Of standing committees will be
selected. These committees will cover
Il broader scope Of work than here
tofore carried on. and will no doubt
increase the activity of the board
