INSURE HELP

An Illustration Of the service rem
1ered by the washington Real Es-
tate Board to its members, accord
ing to John A. Petty. executive sec
rotary, was the special notice just
issued to realtors and property
owners relative to the workmen's
compensation law.
This notice advised that real es-
tate brokers are included under the
provisions of the act and stated
that all employees of realtors, in
Guiding salesmen,' must be protected
by adequate compensa don insur-
ance, effective July /.
Owners of apartment houses and
other rental properties are affected
by this law where help is employed
in maintenance and operation of
such property. Insurance protec-
ton must be obtained TO cover ele.
vstor operators, janitors. managers
and all other help in such prop
ertieg.
While all of the preliminary de-
tails incident to the administration
of this law have not been com
pleted, Petty pointed out, it is,
nevertheless, compulsory to obtain
or contract for proper insurance
with authorized companies by July ].
