BALTIMORE BECOMES
"CITY OF PERMITS"
Necessity for Getting Permission
for Various Work Is Held
Burden on People.

BALTIMORE, May 31.-This city, in
the opinion of Cleveland r. Bealmear,
president Of the real estate board and
one of the city's real estate developers,
10 becoming "city of permits"
More and more, according to Beal-
NEAR, the tendency has become to re-
ouire permit from some city agency
before an enterprise of any sort can be
undertaken. IF this continues" he
declared, the burden upon the already
overloaded taxpayer will be increased,
for the expenses of maintaining the
bureaus which issue the permits are
reflected in the tax bills
BealmearS assertion was made at
hearing on the snoke-control ordi-
nance in arguing against creation of
q bureau of smoke control, in charge of
commissioner, which would have ar
bitrary powers in passing upon heating
plants, and without the sanction of
which no new plant could be installed
According to data produced at the
hearing. some $4,000 Baltimore homes
use soft coal, and it was argued by
some of those opposing the ordinance
as now drawn that its effect would be
70 prohibit the use of such fuel.
Letters presented from several man.

Gently established plants here, indicated
that one of the advantages which in
clined them toward Baltimore would
be removed If the smoke ordinance
became operative The ordinance
also encountered opposition from the
shipping interest, who maintained It
would be impossible for them to abide
by its provisions.

HIGH PRESSURE
SCHEMES SCORED
Real Estate Board Urges
(! Prospects to Investigate
Before Signing Contracts.

Ultra high-pressure schemes of SELL
ing real estate, under which prospects
are rushed quickly into signing con-
tracts to buy lots were discountenanced
today In a formal warning" issued by
the executive committee of the WASH
tngton Real Estate Board, urging
prospects to investigate before signing
on the dotted line.
The committee states:
AT the approach of the Spring and
during the early Summer months.
Washington. like most cities, has the
usual influx of lot-Selling promoters
whose only purpose is to have people
part with their money for supposed
valuable and profitable investment in
q lot. Often such propositions are
conducted on a basis of high-pressure
selling methods and plans which are
carefully designed to create interest
and induce large numbers of persons
to buy.
Offer Various Inducements.
Among some of the more common
methods, picnics, luncheons or other
outings on the property, are arranged
with free transportation for prospects.
On these occasions skillful speakers
deliver addresses or lectures using the
theory of mob psychology to stimulate
make quick money or to own a home.
Usually the outstanding inducement
offered buyers is the prospect of a
quick resale at a profit. Actual guar
antees of resale profits are sometimes
made, although such guarantees are
seldom incorporated in the written
contract of purchase. On the other
hand the written contracts almost in
variably contain a specific provision to
the effect that verbal statements are
not binding unless also contained in
the written contract.
Practices Are AssaiIed.
''Such practices are not in harmony
with the standards of ethical practice
adopted by the National Association of
Real Estate Boards nor with the code
of ethics of the Washington Real
Estate Board, and generally result in
the loss of money to those unfortunate
enough to be thus victimized.
Therefore the executive committee
of the Washington Real Estate Board
condemns these various high-pressure
selling schemes and urges the people
of Washington before actually parting
with their money or signing any form
of contract or agreement in connec-
ton Herewith to carefully investigate
through impartial and authoritative
sources any lot-selling proposition bear
ing the ear marks of the fy-by-night
type.
THE Washington Real Estate Board
Is cooperating with and giving every
assistance possible to the Better Bust
ness Bureau in its investigation OF
such practices"

FARMS HELD PROFITABLE

THE average farm intelligently OPP
Grated Is q money-making business to-

This was the general consensus of
opinion in an informal discussion on
the part of the executive committee of
the farms lands division of the Ma
tonal Association of Real Estate Boards
Harvey Rathbone, Lincoln, Nebr., chair
man of the division, who presided at
the Chicago meeting. expressed his
conviction that the one pseacea which
may be with certaint- regarded as a
cure-all for farm Ills is intelligent
farming.
He pointed to the many examples of
farms not previously showing salts
factory income returns which, when
put under the direction of a competent,
professional farm manager, had be-
come profitable enterprises, adding that
such experiences clearly indicated the
value of and need for this professional
service, whose field and whose employ
ment, he predicted, Is to broaden rapid
ly in the next few years.
