EALTY BOARD H
RESIGN
FR DA
r-f
The resignation of A. R. Ritter as
president of the Portland Realty
board and the election of his sufr
cessor will be the outstanding busi
ness to be taken up Friday noon at
the Multnomah hotel at the first
weekly session f the board, follow
ing the summer holiday.
Mr. Ritter announced officially
yesterday that he would resign the
. presidency of the board at Friday's
meeting, a move which he has been
contemplating ever since hia elec
tion to the presidency of the iortn
west Real Estate association at th
convention, held in July- at van
couver, . B. C. This second position
is one with jurisdiction over all the
real estate boardi of the northwest
ern states and the provinces of
British Columbia and Alberta, and
Mr. Ritter said that he desired to
devote more time to it than he could
possibly give while also attending
to the duties of president of the
local board.
Resignation Is Explained.'
"I feel that by devoting my time
to the work of the northwest asso
ciation and to the interests of the
real estate profession throughout
the northwest, I can , probably do
more for the local board than I
rnnld even while remaining as its
Dresident." he said.
The holding of two offices such
as those now held by Mr. Ritter is
a new situation in northwest real
estate politics and he aid that he
desired to relinquish one of them
for the additional reason that he
wished to give some other realtor a
chance at some of the official worn.
As vet no candidate has come for
ward for Mr. Ritter's unexpired
term, although it is considered like
Iv that Harry Beckwith, now first
vice-president, will be the selection
of the board. Mr. Beckwith was
candidate for president at the last
election and on the day of the elec
tion-retired in favor of Mr. Ritter.
Kincfe that time it is understood that
he- would be a candidate ror me
presidency at the election next year.
Active Winter Presaged.
The realty board will have an ac
tive, winter, according to plans
which have already been outlined.
The organization will make efforts
to secure some modifications of the
present lien law at the coming
legislative session in January. At
the present time material men's
liens take precedence over' even a
first mortgage. The board opposes
such a situation, which is declared
to tend to make it more difficult to
get money on real estate.
"Under the present laws practi
cally anyone can go into the build
ing game whether they are respon
sible or not," said Paul A. Cowgill.
secretary of the board, in comment
ing upon the situation. "The ma
terial men will sell them material
' knowing that they can plaster a lien
upon the property and secure their
money.
Sane Zoning System Objective.
"The changing of the law would
mean that only the better class of
contractors could operate, which
' would mean the raising of the etan
dards of building in the city and
state." Dean Vincent has been made
chairman of a committee in charge
of this work.
The board is also pledged to get
ting some sort of a "safe and sane
zoning system, for the city of -Portland.
This work has been referred
to a committee headed by Fred W.
German and efforts to obtain some
action through the city council are
planned this winter.
Plans wiir also be started this
winter for the next home beauti
. ful ehow to be given in the public
auditorium the first week in April.
A committee will also begin this
winter planning for the entertain'
raent of the next convention of the
Northwest Real Estate association
to. be held here.

building or cottage as future de
