 IIome--BristoI National Bank and American Trust Co. Elect officers --Savino Out On Ball.
 Increase of the real estate hrok- CTS commissions for the sale of property 10 3 per cent instead of the prevailing rate of per cent was dis cussed yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the local realtors asso- ciation at the Elks club. The local men did not vote yesterday to raise the price at once but decided to look into the matter thoroughly with the air I'm prospect of increasing the commission rate in the immediate future. It was brought out yester- day that the prices, charged by the local brokers were unique for their fairness as in Hartford, New Britain and even Plainville, a higher rate had been prevalent for years. un- less the rates are raised, the local men feel that the realtors cannot do themselves justice as the overhead, which has been steadily increasing, has made many do some sharp thinking to make ends meet. Advice favorable to the increasing of the rates, was rendered by Thomas D. Faulkner of Hartford, who said that the low rates of the local realtors should not be con- tinued as the labor of consummating property transfers, office expense and other overhead costs did not al- low the realtors sufficient emolu- ment for his end of the matter. He l favored the raising of the rates to the amounts, charged in the neigh boring cities. The situation in Plain vile was cited yesterday. when Il was shown that Bristol real estate men. selling property in the neigh boring township charged per cent while the New Britain broker! charged per cent for the sales ir the same town.
 The req! estate board was showr 10 be in highly prosperous condi tion, when the reports of the officer' were presented yesterday. A fine membership is already on the ros ters and indications are that the present year will be a banner on' for the property sellers, according tt opinions expressed by the brokers.
