Look Before You Leap
Should Apply
to Housing

Michigan has a marriage law
which provides that five days
must elapse between the date of
the taking out OF a marriage
license and the performing Of
the marriage ceremony. The idea
is, of course, to permit the con-
tracing parties fully to make up
their minds that they really want
to be married.
Under its operation the first
year in Detroit alane more than
1000 couples changed their minds
within this five-day period. And
saved lot of grief.
Some such protective provision
should be inaugurated for mex
perienced prospective home build
ers. 1t would likewise save
lot Of woe.
Too many people build houses
without knowing how, or why
they use this, that or the other
material. And suffer endless ex-
pense in consequence.
1t would be fine If they could
be induced to consider seriously
the merits of materials before
they decide just what they are
going to use.

appointed by the Commissioners of
the District of Columbia.
In appointing the initial commits

Ders thereof will be respectively.
one, two and three years. There
AFTER the terms OF each member will
be three years. Annually the COM
mission shall organize by selecting
from It's members a chairman,
Membership on the real estate
commission is restricted to persons
whose voeat ton for a period of at
least 10 years prior to the date of
their appointment shall have been
that OF real estate broker or a
real estate saleman within the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Follow the Trend
Fundamentally. the administrative
features OF this law follow the gem
erai trend in the development of
license laws in other States. Twenty
five States now have substantially
the same law proposed for the Dis
trict of Columbia. In some In.
stances the administration of the
law Is directed bv a single commits
sioner and the number of commits.
sioners varies In other States.
Basicly, however, the administra-
ton of real estate brokers' license
laws Is left TO those trained and
experienced in real estate practice
In this respect the supervision and
regulation of the personnel in the
real estate business is similar to
That existing in other professions.
In view Of the fact that the mem.
DER OF the commission are not re-
CURED to devote their full time 20

pensation allowed them In on a

Authority is given the commits
sion to employ secretary and such
clerks and assistants as may be
necessary. Securing OF office space

Expenses Are Limited
In mourning expenses however
the commission Is limited to a total
disbursement not in excess of the
total fees and charges collected
under the operation of the law,
Thus 1t Is that the cost of this
