Whether "to put the curbstone brokers
out of business by setting the city coun
ell to pass a $100 annual license fee for
real estate dealers, or wnetner io auow
the eurbstoners to oontlnus talking real
estate on the streets,, thereby. keeping
up the interest of prospective Investors.
is a Question that is agitating more or
less the.couective mind of. the Fort
land Realty Board.4?: .. W:-'-M .'J
At the regular January meeting of
the board, held at the Commercial club,
last Tuesday afternoon, a resolution
was introduced asking the council to
fix this annual itoeniv to pa pam soy
every Individual selling real estate. The
resolution met the Instant opposition
of a majority ot the members ot the
board, but; defenders were by no means
lacking. Those opposed to it argued
no. good would come from attempting
to put street comer salesmen out of
business. They declared these people
an ; important aw not legitimate oner
atoro for. the reason that they are al
ways talking, real estate and .that manv
buyers who otherwise would never have
the subject brought to their minds are
Induced to Invest by the activity of the
curbstoner. It was also declared that
me sonente would not accomplish the
purpose Intended . for the reason that
men could not bo restrained from sell
ing their own property and that the
curb operators would go out and buy
options, which would have the effect
of giving them the standing of property
owners. . ... .... . . ..... .
Drawback of Curb Brokers.
Those favoring the measure admitted
that curb operators frequently kept the
market from lagging, but they said the
unreliable element among them did so
much harm to the business of the legit.

After dlsoussing for six months, the
law requiring real ; estate brokers : to
have a contract of sale with property
owners before a commission eoutd be
collected In oourt for selling real estate
the realty board : at Its meeting last
Tuesday afternoon voted "to make no
errors to change the law. It was
pointed out by a number of speakers
that : the . law as It stands frequently
works a hardship, but that to go back
to the old system where many agents
frequently had the same property listed
and where a squabble arose over the
division of the commission la at least
half the sates, made, would be v very
much akin to jumping from the frying
pan into the fire. i .x-'i -'...;
