Abbott Outlines The Afiv;nta38S ffb!cb Would Ac , criie frcm Co:0;erJ cn Interest in the deal of the real es tate-men is centered very largely this week- in the new protosition - to 4 org-anize a real estate association in 3harlote, anathe. prospects seem , lair for the successful" culmination of : ' . the movement. ' . j .' In order to secure further idea of ! - reasons for the movement a re- j porter "this morning requested Mr. F.' C; Abbott, one of'tho prominent real y estate men yof the cflgc to state why ! in his. opinion, such an association wou.d be beneficial to . the city, : t6 the real restate business and :to the pat-. y rons ahd clients of the real estate iigencies -here. . : v ... j . Mr. Abbott, while, declaring that ho iy notf actiyely. promt ting , the propo vJition iow and is only interested as a real estate man, offered the follow ing time.y views on the sub.ect: . "There : is .a national organization . .of -this' character and ' many . local ernes, and that Charlotte may keep in tront in progress and air that is for her good it seems 'that "a ; local or- . wtinization should be welcomed," said ' Afr. Abbott. ;; ,: - K,The idea," said herr, "would be to frm such reasonkble rules and regu lations for. the trade as wilL raise the tone and dignity of ''the real estate. . business -.through' sucht association; J VJh Charlotte we nave to ray a ' finite -heavy - license ! to'' carry on V the I rpal estate business, and; it is also a fact that many soca Jed curb brokers, , having no.bSice, no license to' pay and 1 who do no advertising, do a regular I business,, and. at, the same time they i jit i. - . . . ; iui cuju missions wnen necessary to make a acah.and ,'thevcan' afford J sjnfce they have po expense to meet, j .no office rent or license to pay. j "The-flrs object would be" to elimi-j nate this . class off brokers, .for it Is certainly not a fair proposition to al- . low this class of -mens to demoral' ' the real . eetate bnsihefts, while" they , , pay no license .for their work. , ' . I , , - "In ; the next place such - an organi- ' " aation. I believe, -will protect'the pub- . lie - because any man who wovud en- . - deavor . to follow, dishonorable . prae- ' , tices would not be allowed .. member ' ,hlp in ' the , association, so that this' yould. be a certain degree of. Tote .; . tion to the .pub' ic. in ; ; dealing with . regular members. - ' ' - e f A "Another important item V is that ' : ..such" an organization " could " aid ; in the Jbulldingnp- of. Charlotte by some', By?tematic ;method; 6, advertising the : :l eity abroad - which such an .organ'za ticn could take hp and push, and in other wacj'S help forward the inter- ests of the city.

" For Kale zation 'of this 'sort to raise the stand ards of business and in other ways be of benefit mutually. -. ,The purposes and objects of a . lo cal ' real estate board were thug. ex plained by another Idea', real estate man, in,, connection with the new movement: "The haphazard . methods in the j real estate ; business in the past , have brought 7 rei roach on . the . profession to such an extent that: " the public looked upon thev average real estate broker "as a shark. In recent years however in hvost of the cities, this is no longer tolerated There . have been organized, boards - and exchanges, also State -and recently a National associa tion to weed out the dishonest or in capable dealer that is unscrupulous ly cheating the public. ;.v "The boards are to eetab'ish and standardize the business "of real r es tate brokerage so that it will obtaia and hold - the - confidence and respect of both owners and purchasers to maintain the dignity and responsi bility ;' ot its members in their duty in tho TllHHC ' v a ; - , x ..?.-..-:" "A further, object will be the estab--j lishin of uniform commissions, cus-. toirs and -practices so far a they are j reasonable. . - "Another factor will ' be the culti vation of; good-fellowship amone' the members in their sel tag, renting, managing real estate and borrowing thereon. , - : "Lastly - the association would a'm not only" at the protection of the bro ker but 'equally guard and advance the interests and Totect real estate owners from fraud, extortion : and litigation. . : , , : , r , : RATE ADJUSTMENT TO BE DISCTJSSED BY WATER BOARD "Water rates,'.' not for. shippers but for Charlotte folks who axe., patrons of the municipal waterxvorks.-will be the subject 'of discussion at ; an; Open meeting of -the; board: of watercom mrsicners to be held next Thursday evening at; the ciy hall.; Announce ihent of this meeting was made today by Commissioner ?
