(Section No. 4-B.) . The Medford Realty Board recog nizing the great stabilizing Influence of home ownership, both in the city and In the country, believes that now as never before such ownership must be encouraged, and that the amount of money a family spends determines the ability of that family to pay taxes and not the mere fact of the ownership of a home. Therefore, be It resolved that the Medford Realty Board recommend: First, that all homes In the city and farm units In the country used and occupied by the owner be ex empt from taxation to the extent of the assessed value of eiSOO. Second, that a general sales tax of two per cent, or such amount as Is found necessary, be levied by the state on all commodities sold by re tall stores and tickets sold by places of amusement, money so raised to be used to replace taxes now levied on homes. Resolved, that a copy of these reso lutions be sent to the National Asso ciation of Real Estate Boards, to the real estate boards of ttie state, to the chambers of commerce of the stats, and the Oranges of the state. and a copy furnished to the press.
