MEASURE WOULD
LICENSE REALTORS
Opposition Anticipated to Bill
in House.

Compulsory licensing of real estate
dealers would become operative under
tho provisions Of a bill before the
House of Representatives today. 1t
introduced by Representative
John W. Thiel Of Gary.
Considerable opposition to the meas
ure is expected. The Indiana Real
Estate Board indorsed it by a scant
margin, while the Indianapolis Real
Estate Board passed resolutions OPP
posing the bill.
Under the provisions of the bill any
dealer attempting TO sell real estate
without a license would be liable TO
prosecution and fine, subject to the
judgment Of a real estate commission
appointed by the Governor. The
present law provides that licenses are
required only of nonresident real es-
tate dealers and firms whose main
officers are in other States. Representa-
tive Herbert p. keuney Of New Albany
has introduced a bill for the repeal Of
the present law.

house to get my husband. I shouted
TO them not TO dynamite because my

best thing would be for my husband
to surrender, 50 my daughter and 1

They took him away. That night
about 10 o'clock ne telephoned to ask

WOODRUFF PLACE
TO PAY $1,000 AS
PRICE
Officials Agree to
Terms Offered by
City,

Woodruff Place has decided TO pay
the city Of Indianapolis So, 600 in 1928.
n a similar amount for each re-
naming year of Mayor Shank's admin
istration for police and fire protection
and other municipal benefits. w. w.
Lowry, town attorney. announced to-
day.
This was decided at a meeting Of the
town board last night following an aft
ernoon conference between Woodruff
Place officials and members of the city
boards Of public works and public
safety.
City Refuses Moratorium
City officials refused to grant q
further moratorium to Woodruff
Place at the conference yesterday and
the proposal of President Charles E.
Coffin of the board of works that the
town pay the city 5000 a year. which
amount to the difference between
taxes in Woodruff Place and Indian
apolis, definitely represented the city's
attitude on the matter.
The city claims the town has been
getting municipal benefits without be-
ing charged for them. Lowry said to-
day there was no other way out Of
the matter as the city would enter
suit against the own if the terms
were not complied with. Such a set
Element. Lowry said, would not he
satisfactory to either party, however.
No Provision I'm Budget.
Another conference was to be held
today between the city and town Of
fcials to enter into a formal agree
ment.
Lowry asserted that no provision
was made for such a payment in the
1928 budget and the only way it could
be made would be to get permission
from the State board of accounts TO
transfer certain funds hat the town
had on hand. If this a be done the
amount the city asks will be paid.
Lowry said.
