D. c. REALTY BOARD
| TO SEEK MEMBERS
Drive to Be Made Next
Week-Committee Named
to Lead Campaign.

Efforts to enroll members into the
newly formed District Realty Board
will be made during the coming
week, 1t was decided at a meeting
held in Masonic Hall, at Eighth and
| F streets northeast, last night.
A membership committee was elect
ed and is composed of the following
! Walter A. Buscher, chairman; T. j.
Ross and Frank J. O'Connor. While
| the first two elected were not present,
1t was believed that they would accept
the appointment.
| NJ. F. Bishoff, who was elected pres
| ident following the resignation of N.
| +. Ryon. outlined the purposes of the
| organization and urged the "A persons
| present to announce that all members
of the board must conduct themselves
according to the highest standards. A
| grievance committee to take care of
| complaints between landlords and
tenants. and members of the board
and complaining clients, also was. sug
rested by Mr.. Bishoff who explained
.hat there were some instances in
| which such a committee could be of
much use.
Objection Is Raised.
Much discussion was evoked when
c. II. Small, who said he was an in
dependent broker and builder, OBJ
jected to the District Realty Board
claiming that it represented all nom
members of the Washington Real
Estate Board. Mr.. SmalI insisted
that if that impression was given he
would form an organization of his
own and advertise it as being COM
posed of non n-members of the District
Realty Board.
Mr.. Small defended the license bill
as being what the city required. Mr..
Bishoff explained that the District
Realty Board did not oppose the
license bill, but did oppose the string
ent eXamina ton he said was re-
quired and did think the independent
brokers should be represented on
the proposed licensing commissio
MIR Small called for a vote as to how
many present were licensed brokers
and the vote showed IA out of the
"a present.
Mrs. s. T.. Cross, officer of the Dis
trict RealtJ Board. explained that 1t
was necessary for the independent
brokers to organize and prevent
themselves from being "freezed out"
1t was finally decided to hold a
meeting nearer the business center OF
town next Friday. Meanwhile, Mr.,
Bishoff announced that bylaws will
be drawn up and the standard of
ethics for the organization would be
outlined.

bringing with them old hauling CON
tracts and any data or information

trucking experiences in the past
few years, so that a comprehensive
and intelligent study of 'the subject
may be made and a strong brief be
filed at the hearing on October 2S.

in getting out q good attendance.
