The National Association OF Real Es-
tate Boards, in hearings before the Sem
ate committee, had asked that the two
above provisions be stricken from the
bill. Corporations whose assets consist
largely of real estate may find 1t nec-
essary business policy to hold those as
sets over long period, and tax penali-
zation of undistributed increment or
surplus would work special hardship
In the case of such assets, the associ-
alton declared.

provision Of the House bill which would
have given the owner of cooperative
apartment home the same privilege
given the owner OF an individual home
to make deduction for taxes and in

(4) In the matter of installment sales
of real estate the committee, in addi-
ton to increasing the percentage limit
for installment classification, has taken
two further actions. 1t has approved a
provision covering change from an ac-
crual to an instalment basis In re-
