night in the Lafayette Hotel. Presi-
dent Harry X. Boss announced that
the executive committee had deter

which was the first meeting of the
board since the recent election of
officers, had the largest attendance
of members of any strictly business
meeting heretofore held in the his
tory of the organization.
The most prominent feature of
the meeting was the report made by
William z. Shannon, who recently
returned from Des Moines, where he
attended a meeting Of the executive
committee of the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards as the
national executive committeeman
representing the Washington board.
Mr.. Shannon announced that, upon
authority of the local executive
committee. he invited the national
executive committee to hold it's
mid winter meeting in Washington.
