state, lest precedent be established,
| that while this is cut of order, the
Chair will entertain the motion from
the gentleman from Portland (Mr
/ Cram).
Mr.. CRAM: I would say, Mr..
Speaker, that this bill is presented
by the Real Estate Association, as I
understand, existing throughout the
State of Maine. and
; The SPEAKER: The members of
the House individually are to be re-
quested to vote upon this matter.
The evidence is being presented, and
will the members individually give
attention to the speaker, the gentle
man from Portland
Mr.. CRAM resuming: This is an
attempt on the part of the real es-
tate men to place their business on q
par and equally similar to that of
insurance agents. They desire some
State supervision, and that there
may be required a license of properly
real estate agents and brokers. They
have had some difficulty in the past
with real estate brokers or agents
who have come into the State from
out of the State and who have de-
ceived people who are not familiar
with real estate transactions, and
who, through them have purchased
, land, and this is an effort on their
part, as l have stated, to place the
business under State supervision. I
think they should be lauded in their
, efforts to improve conditions as a
benefit to the general public. 1
therefore hope, Mr.. Speaker, that
this matter may be reconsidered and
, be given careful and full considera-
ton by the members of this House.
The SPEAKER: The motion is on
the reconsideration of the vote of
the House whereby the majority re-
port of the committee on Judiciary,
ought not to pass, was accepted. All
those who are in favor of reconsider
ing the motion will say aye, contra
, ry minded, no.
"A viva voce vote being taken, the
motion to reconsider was lost,
