In Detroit the commission which admin
listers the real estate license law found
after six months of investigation that
while large percentage of complaints
against real estate brokers possess little
or no merit there were a number OF
cases of deliberate misrepresentation OF
fraud. In such cases licenses were re-
voked and. when necessary, prosecution
followed. Men "springing up" in the
business and coming from other cities
we're the most frequent violators. Tine
commission found licensed brokers will

Estate Owning Not All Pleasure.
The plight of some OF the landed pro-
prietors of England is sad enough to
bring tears to the eyes of Sim Feiner.
In returning thanks for wedding pres
ent from the tenantry of his estate, a
certain Marquis offered the following
explanation of the present hardships
of the shabby genteer':
Il have to live on borrowed money.
and must be rather pinching The cost
of living has risen and with it wages,
and it is just as well should tell you
that in order to employ you at present
wages / have to borrow money all the
time. The money Will have to be
repaid. but I do not quite see when
that will be possible
The advent of a new landed gentry
in England since the war is made
plain by "Burke's." an annual work
of reference on that subject which has
reappeared after break of seven years.
Over a hundred names of old land
owners have disappeared since the last
edition and their places have been taken
by double that number of newcomers.
In the preface the editor remarks:
Much as the passing of old families
from the land or the diminution of their
holdings Is to be regretted. the rise
Of a new class of landed gentry pos
sessed of means enabling them to de-
velop estates which had become i'm
poverished through the misfortunes OF
their previous owners cannot be with
out benefit to the country"

Housing the Middle Classes.

That housing the poorer classes IN
New York is becoming an increasingly
difficult problem. notwithstanding un-
mistakable signs OF Improvement in the
number of available houses and apart
monts. Is shown In recent testimony De-
fore the Lockwood committee. The
head OF n family OF five. whose salary
or wage is less than 5000 a year. Is
learning that the price of New York
address is rapidly rising above his
means.
Testimony before the Lockwood COM
mittee shows that house or apartment
10 accommodate family of five can
not be built under the present building
code for less than 5000. Whether the
house or apartment Is occupied by a
rent payer or owner. the following fig
ures remain the same:
Seven per cent. on money invested
Three per cent. for taxes and water.
Two per cent. for heat.
Two per cent. for light, insurance and
incidentals.
Two per cent. for repairs.
These figures call for an annual out
lay of approximately $500 According 10
economists. no more than % per cent.
Of ones yearly income should 20 for
rent but the average citizen Is con-
vinced that economists do not make
their homes in New York city.
As TO Licensing Brokers.
New York may have a law licensing
real estate brokers before another year
passes. Such law, responsible brokers
believe. will remove many OF the pres.
cnt evils. help TO elevate the business
and. TO some extent. restore the conf.
dence of the public in the most stable OF
investments. We doubt II license law
will accomplish these things. but be
levo the regulation of the brokerage
business Is a necessity. The good II viii
accomplish will be in proportion TO the
stringency Of its provisions
