Big Issues Before Realtors
At Mid,vi1lter Convention

Undertaking by the organized real
tors of the United States of what is
in fact not a program of merely pro-
fessional activities for the coming
year, but a program so related to fun
damental matters of public policy and
to basic business conditions that it
becomes Industrial statesmanship will
be the subject of the midwinter meet
ing of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards, to be held at
Augusta. Ga. January II, is and 10.
Formulation of public policies on
the great questions affecting the in
terests of real estate and the owner
ship of real property will be the heart
of the conference work A vast pro-
gram for the advancement of real
estate as business through the
work of the association and it's spe-
cialiZed divisions and through the CO.
operation of its local member boards,
already approved by the board of di
rectors, will come up for adoption.
The program, going into every
phase OF real estate dealing as an
activity closely related to the growth
OF cities. the de elopment of property
values, the spread of home ownership
and the safety of investment, is held
to be one OF the most comprehensive
plans for advancement ever presented
to a national business body.

Legislative objective of the associa-
tion's work for the coming year, H.
r. Ennis of Kansas City, president
elect of the association, states.
Phases of the tax question in which
the association and it's constituent
boards are interested, and which will
be a major topic of discussion at the
Augusta meeting, include: Federal
tax reduction, adjustment OF income
| taxation, the abolition of tax-exempt
securities, checking the mounting tide
of local tax levies, review of all local
and state bond issues and tax levies
by a state board of tax commission
ers, as has been found to save mil
lions in taxes in Indiana, and the
equalization of tax incidence through
the revision of antiquated or made
quate assessment methods.
The program of undertakings TO
which the association has already in
great measure committed itself en-
braces the gathering of real estate
facts of direct application to invest
ment, the study Of the financing prob
lem for facilitating real estate invest
ment. the upholding of high stand
ard Of responsibility and service In
real estate transactions. the accumu-

The part that realtors in local real

SEES TWO PURPOSES
In BUILDING CODE
Lumbermen's Body Regards Safety
and Fire Hazard Preven-
tion Chief Aims.

Buildings and Building Codes" is
the title of the next bulletin in the
series, Lumber and Its Utilization"
issued by the National Lumber Man
Ifacturers Association. 1t establishes
two definite purposes for building
codes:
l. Control over the structural safe
ty of buildings.
g Control of the fire hazards Gre
ated by buildings and their occupancy
to produce: (a) reasonable safety to
life: CD reasonable safety to the city
from exposure to fires.
A number of cities were visited
and many city officials consulted in
the preparation of this bulletin, so
that many points of view are pre-
scented. The material given provides
an understanding of certain broad
principles which are universally ap-
modified by local conditions TO form
the basis of special building code
legislation.
Safety to life, involving the sta
bility of a building. as we'll as means
of egress. is emphasized as the most
important consideration in the
preparation of d building code. At
tent,op is also given to a discussion
of exposure and confiagration haz-
arts, division of responsibility for
SAFETY, the nature of occupancy, com
petition between cities and direct
connection between building codes
and the commercial needs OF the COM
munty. The activities OF the Build
ing Code Bureau of the National Lum-
also outlined.
The bulletin will be distributed to
building inspectors, city oft1ciais, ar
chitects, and engineers.

TEST FOR HARDWARE.

A simple test for discovering
whether the hardware in the house is
real brass or not is to try il with
an ordinary magnet. Brass has no
effect on the magnet, while iron is
attracted to it and will pull through

AS to the time at which such stand
ards as may be agreed to should be
considered as effective, the sugges-
tion was offered that perhaps June /.
or July /, 1924, would give ample op-
portunity for such adjustments and
notifications of published rules for
grading and inspection of lumber as
might be necessary, and would also
afford the important opportunity dur
ing the coming lumber convention
season for nationwide sentiment
making in behalf of the purchase

% and expenditures. A plan was
proposed which would provide for .
man with light truck in each end Of
the county to do all the road work.
except when farmers along the
roads were hired to perform some
needed improvement. This plan is
endorsed by Commissioner Hawkins
and County Attorney Stephenson.
The board. however, has not taken

Other proposed reductions In
running the county business are
said to include cutting down salar-
les Of deputy ofhcials. reducing the
