Thia Realty Board Pays Up Duea for Year 1925 For the third successive year the Louisville, Ky., Real Estate board claims the honor of being the first member board of the National Association of Real Estate boards to pay its annual national dues. A check for $1,000 representing dues for 200 active members for the year 1925, has just been received at national headquarters from the Louisville board. The board takes the occasion to extend to real estate boards throughout the national association the wish of the board to welcomes them in the new board home, recently purpchased and now being remodeled. The board expects to move into the new building within the year. In making the purchase, at a cost of $50,000, members of the board gave $10000 outright to raise cash for the fir~t payment. The board has made two increases in its initiation fee during the year but the increases, making the fee now '$250, have not been found to interfere with an addition of 19% to the membership during the year. Nor has it made the board less disposed to scrutinize appliCants for t;.embership as to tehir fitness, Maurice Dunn, executive secretary, reports. Funeral services for G.

Suspend Realty Dealer For Untrue Statements Recent action reported to the National Association of Real Estate boards by the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Real Estate board illustrates the meaning of real estate board dicipline. The Cedar Rapids board has just suspended a member indefinitely for making untrue statements to a client, concealing from her the fact that the property he had shown her was next to a property occupied by a colored family. A second board member who in conversation acquiesced to the action of the first dealer was reprimanded by the board of governors of the real estate board.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING IS EDUCATIONAL IEDIUI The increasing value of newspaper advertising as an educational medium and the necessity of its use by public utility companies, was recently discussed by the Connecticut Public Utilities commission, when· the mayor of Stamford, Conn., protested to the commission that advertising was not a legitimate expense of t~e electric and gas utility serving that c1ty. The commission, in its ruling, said: "The experience and observation of commission has been that frequentCOinplain·ts by patrons in matters reutilities are due to the omisthe utility to provide intelligent lrom~aticln. opers1ze. ~ regulate ay~ke the We Ha·e Yoar 1925 Automobile Lica~M .I mandforfleWtek- 'J"lO meet the de· "This commission has ·always advoQted a proper amount of publicity on the part of utility companies in order that their patrons may be informed in a ~eneral way as to operating and financial conditions as affecting the rate payers. . "A fair and frank statement by a util~ty on controversial questions will assist m. maintaining a relationship of good Wilt and co-operation between the comPiny and its patrons." The commission found that there was no grounds for intervention and dismiss· ed the petition of the mayor.
