What California may lose in con-
vention attendance through its re-

vantage of this opportunity not
only to attend the convention but
to see California as well.
Another important attendance
factor promises to be the Shriner

realtors who are also Shriners thus

lieved that a great number will be
added to the realtors convention
through this influence.
AS regards California realtors. 1t
goes without saying that the at

Partisan Owners
Most Abused Set
In World, Claimed


Paris landlords insist they are
the most abused set OF property
owners in the world. That distinc.
ton was claimed by New York
landlords about the time the rent
laws WERE placed on the statute
books. Until the matter is definite
ly settled 1t may be interesting to
review the claims OF the Parasians.
They report they are unable to
collect rents from more than 10000
tenants or to evict these unproflt-
able occupants This, they claim. Is
the fault of recent legislation CIV
ing tenants who were immune
from payment of rent during the
war the right to find other quar-
tiers before vacating. As a result
when a Paris landlord tries sell
his property he is unable to Jtain
a reasonable offer. 1t is claimed.
