Tne realty board held a stormy ses
sion yesterdar afternoon, which at
' tlmea looked aa though it would dlarupt
the organisation. The principal fight
precipitated , Dy a resolution to
amend, tha bylaws permitting, the , di
vision 01 commissions. - - ...
An Originally- adopted., the bylaws for-.
Tisae tnr wvraitjrr-or cOnimUslona. ex
: ceni Dei ween members of the board.
This rule waa the cause of constant frlo-
, tlon and It waa not until It had been
discussed at several previous) meeting
: of tha board that tha rule waa agreed
..upon yesterday providing that hereafter
any member of the board may divide' a
commission with a repuuble real eatHta
, dealer, but that there must ba no shar
ing-of commlaxlons with outsiders, i'
',-'- Several member of the board stated
" that they were losing- sales because of
-rhta-role. rrtvata persona would bring
them a oustomer and demand a division
of tha commissions, and when refused a
division, they would go to dealers out
aide tha board with -their customer. - ,
. a number of the membera Insisted that
they should ba allowed to divide com
missions with any association in a sale,
. whether ha be a regular dealer or not.
Others ware vehement In demanding;
- that tha board ahould abide by tha orlg.
. Inal rule and divide profits with none
- but fellow membera . of the board.
' Among those who Insisted upon stinking
., to tha original bylaw waa W. H. Grind-
staff of Orlndstaff St Schalk, who, when
, "(the mora liberal policy waa adopted, an
. v nounced hie Intention to resign from tha
; . realty board. .
" It. waa lao found necessary, to modify
' tha rule providing that no member
should sell piece of property unlaaa ha
had an exclusive written contract with
' the owner. It waa found that tha
' owners of largo and valuable pieces of
i realty refused to algn a oontraot allow
ing but one agency to handle their prop
erty. .It waa aald that aoma of tha
larger firms war disregarding tha ex
.' elusive contract rule and that it waa be
coming a dead letter. A compromise
rule was adopted that , a written con
tract will ba Insisted upon In the case
Of property of 126.000 or less In vejae.
'Tha Initiation fee tor membership waa
; .reduced from 119 to II and tha monthly
