SECRET REBATES
SCORED BY BOARD
Philadelphia Officers Con-
denim Practice as Fraudu-
lent and UnethiCaI.

The granting of rent rebates to
tenants without making on the face OF
the lease a prominent and specific
notation of the rebate granted is con-
demned as unethical and fraudulent
by the Philadelphia Real Estate Board
in resolutions just passed unani-
mously by it's board of directors. The
action follows similar action recently
taken by the st. Louis Real Estate
Exchange. and successful efforts by
Illinois Realtors TO outlaw secret rent
rebates in that State.
The phrase rent concession" has
gone out Of newspaper advertising in
illinois since the new State law went
into effect making illegal all leases
containing any form of rent rebate
unless the words concession given"
are stamped on the face of the lease
and unless a statement of the amount
and nature Of the concession appears
on its margin. This is the indication
OF how the new law is working which
Is reported 10 the National Association
OF Real Estate Boards by the Chicag
Real Estate Board. which has made a
careful check of newspapers in the
territory as part of its work to assist
IN the enforcement of the law The
law will eventually result in doing
away with the giving of concessions,
the board holds.
Real estate boards in other States
are studying the workings of the Hi
nois measure with a view TO urging
similar legislation in their own States
The practice of making secret re
Dates IN leasing real property not only
undermines public confidence in the
investment value OF such property but
Is the source of great discomfort
among tenants. who may be suspi-
cious that other lessees in the same
building are getting better terms from
the landlord than they themselves are
getting, the boards point out.

cent in the retail deliveries of the
Great Six WHY'S knight Sedan over

WEEKLY COPPER REVIEW

uation today is the possibility of a
long continued strike in Great Brit
ain.
The Copper Export Trading COM
pany, as the new copper export as
sociation is known, is to have moth
ing whatever to do with the selling
of copper for domestic consumption,
confining it's activities strictly to the
handling Of export copper and it is
destined to perform a useful function
in stabilizing the foreign copper mar
ket situation. One of its main OBJ
jects is to eliminate sales of the
METALS to unprincipled foreign cop
per spectators and sell only to con-
sumers. 1t is the opinion of those
well qualified to judge, that the Cop
per Export Trading company will
mark a new era in the history Of
copper marketing and distribution.
The estimates of the Copper and,
Brass Research association also look
favorable for the copper industry.
The consumption Of copper by the
automobile industry in 1895 broke all
previous records, being 122,50O tons
and the consumption of copper in all
the departments of the electrical in
dustry is forging steadily ahead. Last
year an the copper consumption. both
world and domestic, reached the
highest point ever known. being 742,-
500 tons used in the United States
and 1,65O,OOO tons for the world.
1t is perfectly evident that unwise
distributing policies have been large
ly responsible for the low price of
copper and, the present corrective
policies embodied in the stabiliing
program of the producers in adjust
ing production to consumption and
the organizing of the Copper Export
Trading company, will go far toward
eliminating the thing which has held
| copper below the average level of
other commodities.
