LAND OWNERS VIE
ON TAX LEGISLATION
Division of Real Estate Meet Plans
Efficient Organization for
Voicing Conditions.

Organizing efficient machinery
through which the property owner can
be heard in tax legislation, to the end
that real estate levies will be more equit-
able, will be the keynote of the meeting
of the property owners division of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards at its convention at Toronto,
Canada, next week.
Leading realtors and owners of real
estate feel that organized groups OF
property owners are essential in both
the large city and the small town to
meet present public questions affecting
real estate.
Leonard P. Reaume, Detroit, president
of the National Association of Real
Estate Boards, will speak at the prop
erty owners division meeting on What
Property Owner Divisions Can Do fol
Real Estate and Real Estate Boards
The Detroit board recently organized
a local property owners division, with
some 900 members, and has already en-
tered upon a program. 1t has called
upon the city council to submit to the
voters a charter amendment authoriz-
ing the payments of special assessments
in 10 inStallments, rather than 3. II
this is adopted it will be helpful to many
thousands of taxpayers who are now
subjected to severe delinquency penal
ties because of their inability to pay as
sessments as they fall due, the Detroit
board declares.
A. w. Swayne, Chicago, chairman Of
the national property owners division
will preside at the convention meeting.

who claim the right TO do this phase
Of the work.
Virtually the same dispute arose in
the construction of the Tower Building
here, which also resulted in litigation
before the courts over which union
organization should have the right to
do the work. Before that case was
settled at court a more serious strike
resulted, other unions calling a SYM
pathetic strike, which tied up work on
the building until the court had upheld
the contract for the work which had
been given by the subcontractor to the
carpenters.
The current case could not be made
the subject of official mediation by the
American Federation of Labor or the
local Building Trades Council, it Is ex-
planned, because of a lack of jurisdic-
ton.
The local council could not act, it is
pointed out, because the union organ
izationS involved in the dispute are in
ternational in scope rather than local
| The American Federation of Labor, II
is explained likewise could not act off,
cially in the matter because the Car

Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, N. Y, July 5.-One of
Gotham's oddities, the Heidelberg
Tower, practically windowless struc-
ture which rises to a height of more
than 200 feet from the seven-story
building on Forty-second street be-
tween Broadway and Seventh avenue,
is to be torn down.
The property has been leased by the
Coe estate to United Cigar Store in
terests for 81 years with two renewals.
The lease provides that a building of
10 or more stories shall be erected be-
fore May, 1884
The tower, resembling a huge smoke
stack, was intended to be used for ad-
vertising signs, but it was found only
very short words on it could be made
legible from the distant sidewalks.

GR|FF SIGNS YOUTH
AS SUB FOR JUDGE
SandIotter From New York
Has Impressive Record in
Independent Loops.

D1LoxI, Miss February l5.-clark
K Griffith has added a young first
baSeman to his team in the
person of William Bradley, a
sandlotter from New York City. The
youngster has been playing ball with
the New York Independents of the
Empire State Federation, an organiza-
ton yet to gain official recognition
from organized base ball, but whose
avowed purpose is to laid in the or
ganization and development Of sandlot
base ball."
Bradley, who is not yet 81, hit for
an average of 1868 with the Independ-
ents and fielded $40, and was highly
recommended to Mr.. Grifith by George
w. Halpin, president of the league.
Nick Altrock and AL Schacht saw
Bradley play one day last Summer,
and Nick has added his recommended
ton.
Bradley stands feet / and weighs
1877 pounds. 1t is likely that the new
first conner will get ample opportunity
to demonstrate his ability in the pre-
season games. The release of Boss to
Chattanooga on a 24-hour option left
the Nationals with no substitute first
base material, and the experience Grit
nth has had with Joe Judge the last
two seasons made him especially
anxious to have an understudy avail
able for the Washington captain.
The last two seasons have been very
good ones for Judge, and Griffith at
tributes much of this to the manner in
which Judge prepared himself for the
championship grind. You will recall
that in 1928 George Sisler did most
of the first base work in the practice
games, with Judge stepping in regu-
larly when the season started. For
the first time in many years Joe went
right through the season without injury
and played great ball. Last year
Johnson allowed Joe to take it rather
easy, and again Judge had year free
from that old leg trouble. imagine
Walter will use this youngster when
ever he can prior to the opening OF
the season, and it was with this In
mind that / decided to take a chance
with Bradley, and then, you know, you
never can tell when you have a bud
ding star. This sandlotter comes
highly recommended by shrewd base
ball men, and he may make the grade.
