DETROIT REALTOR
|. ON HOOVER BOARD
Leonard P. Reaume to Aid in
Home Building and Own
ership Inquiry.

Lenard P. Reaume, Detroit, president
Of the National Associs ton Of Real
Estate Boards, at the invitation Of Pres
ident Hoover will represent the realtors
of the Nation on the commission APP
pointed to investigate the problems pre-
scented in home building and home
ownership with a view to removal OF
influences which seriously limit the
spread of home ownership, both in town
and country"
The commission, to be known as the
White House Conference on Home
Building and Home Ownership, is COM
posed of the heads Of Some 10 national
business, professional, trade and civic
organizations, headed by Secretary OF
Commerce Robert p. Lamont. John NJ.
Cries, chief of the Division of Building
and Housing in the Commerce DEPART
merlt, is to act as executive secretary to
the new commission The project Is to
be f.ianced from private sourceE funds
already having been provided.
President Hoover's plan is to have the
conference set up Nationwide subcorn-
mittees to study different phases of the
present problems of horne ownership.
THE conference will deal with the
whole broad question of home con-
struction and home ownership" the
President said in announcing the es-
Enlistment of the commission. "One
of the important questions Is finance.
In order to enable the purchase of
homes on what amounts to the INSTALL
ment plan it is necessary to place first
and, often enough, second mortgages.
First mortgages, carried so largely
by the savings banks and insurance
companies, have been affected by COM
petition with bonds and other forms Of
investment. Second mortgages, which
are also necessary to many people, have
If we take into account commissions
discounts and other charges, risen In
rates in many cities to the equivalent
of 20 or Is per cent per annum all OF
which not only stiles home ownership
but has added to the present depression
by increasing unemployment in the
trades involved.
1.-THE finance question however. is
only one of many. Greater comfort
and reduction in cost of construction in
many parts of the country through i'm
proved design, the better layout OF resi-
Dental areas are all of first importance
1t is not suggested that the results OF
the investigation will be made recon-
mendations for legislation, but, rather
coordination, stimulation and larger
organization Of the private agencies
There, however, needs to be a study OF
the mortgage laws of many States with
a view to more intelligent attitude to-
ward the home builder"

BALTIMORE OWNERS
FIGHT TAX PENALTY
Complain About City's Threats to
Sell Them Out If Levies
Are Not Net.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, August 3O.--Property
owners who are without resources to
pay their taxes, due TO the lack of en-
ployment or the lack of income from
their vacant property, are making COM
plants against the city's threat to sell
them out II their taxes are not paid
according to a statement this week hy
q. Philip Pitt. secretary Of the Real
Estate Board.
In some cases, individual owners and
those who are struggling along with
mortgages are being forced to pay as
high as AZ per cent in interest from
money lenders in order to pay the city,
Mr.. Pitt declared He said that this
money could be borrowed by the nnu-
nicipal government at less than per
cent.
While practical remedy for this
unfortunate condition is difficult to
find" he stated. ut does seem that ct
least some measure OF relief could be
had by sacrificing q small degree of our
collection efficiency to sympathy in
meritoriouS cases.
"The harsh penalty which the city
imposes upon delinquents at the rate OF
20.4 per cent per annum, certainly Is
heavy enough to force all who are able
to pay up" Mr.. Pitt added. 1.-The ad-
ditional penalties in the form of all
expenses incidental to a tax sale, in
many cases could be eliminated by
sacrificing only a small degree of our
efficiency record. Another method
could perhaps be worked out anc
adopted which would give the city all
Of its tax money by the end of July
each year and at the same time prove
much less expensive to owners who are
unable to pay at that time"

BUILDING LOAN HEAD
HITS LOCAL ASSOCIATIONS
Criticizes Appointment of Building
Material Dealers on
Boards.

r. Hobby Myers. Los Angeles, new
president of the United States Building
and Loan League, today criticized the
appointment of building material deal
ers and subdividers on the boards of
local building and loan associations.
Building and loan officials should
remember that they stand alone in this
field, in that they have nothing to sell
to the home buyer" said the. league
president. They should not ally them
selves with any one who has anything
to sell, however honest and reputable
such people may be. 1t is for the build
ing and loan official to look over the
market and advise the home builder in
the purchase of home and home build
ing materials.
IF men in the building material OF
realty business sit on the building and
loan association board, there is often
a certain obligation on the part of the
association to deal with these men
This sometimes is not for the best in
terests Of the home builder, especially
II there are in the town other dealers
from whom perhaps better prices OF
terms may be obtained"
