Synopsis of an Act to be Voted Upon at the Next Election The classification of the business of Insuring and guaranteeing titles to real estate is proposed In an act to be voted upon In California in November. The California Land Title Association, which includes representative abstract, title and title insurance companies In nearly all of the 58 counties of California will meet at San Diego September 29 and 30 to discuss the proposed amendment and lay plans for its adoption, Tho following synopsis of the new, with comparisons with the title Insurance law aa it now stands, has been issued: "STATE SUPERVISION. All title companies under provlslopa of this enabling act will be placed under the control and regulation I of the State Insurance Commls- sioner, the same as other Insurance companies. "FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. A minimum deposit of $100,000 must -now-be made with the State Treasurer before companies may engage in the business of title insurance.

This insures financial responsibility to the guaranties and policies Issued by title Insurance companies, but because of the minimum deposit of large centers of population enjoy the benefits of title Insurance Smaller communities are deprived of this modern and essential method of guaranteeing titles. "THE NEW LAW By classifying counties according to population, as contemplated by this amendment, the Legislature may prescribe smaller deposit, than $100,000, In 'less populous communities. The Legislature will provide a sum sufficiently large, however, to Insure adequate flrfanclal responsibility. By this means, title companies in practically every county will qualify to write title insurance, eliminating the present control of the title business by large cities. All companies so qualifying under the proposed law would be subject to state supervision.

"INVITES HEALTT COMPETITION. By permitting more companies to engage In the business of title insurance, competition will be more keen. "ON EQUALITY-WITH BANKS. Fifteen years ago counties were olassified according to population In order that evtjry community might enjoy banking privileges. The results accomplished completely Justified that procedure.

By this proposed amendment, every community may likewise enjoy the benefits' to' be derived from state- supervised title Insurance. "NO ADDITIONAL TAXES. Neither the adoption of this amendmeent nor any action of the Legislation pursuant thereto will cause the creation of any new state oiflces or it is pointed out. mKJi ACliOSS COXI1NEXT. Undaunted by the sandstorms of -Montana or the forest fires of Washington, Miss Bertha Hanson, 18-year-old BuIfaloT telephone operator, arrived in Tacoma recently after a two-months hike-across six statu.

Announcement was made last week ot the combining of tho C. W. P.odi-n Company arid Ii. Peppin In the building' of homes 'In the Eastbay district. Much" signifi cance is attached to this news because it is realized that althougfTO'.

U. 'Peppin for a number of years has been one of the biggest build-ers-hf homes in Oakland it Is understood" "That with the Boden Company associated with' him the Peppin house-building program will be on a much larger scale. In fact, a new record in home-buikling is expected to be set up by the organization. K. H.

Caldwell, for years associated with Peppin and before that with Breed and Bancroft and with other 13tbay real estate firms, has been chosen as salos-manager by the Boden Co. Caldwell If widely known throughout tho bay cities and is recognized as an experUn. home sales. He will have charge of sales of the Peppin homes-as they are constructed and the lioden Compapy will have general charge of the building and financing of these homes. More than $2,000,000 worth of homes have been built and sold by Peppin in the last four years.

"I believe that because of the tremendous demand for homes in the Eastbay cities at this time, especially in the lake district of Oakland and in Piedmont, that it has become necessary in order to meet this demand to. enter upon the building of homes on a much larger scale than in the past," said C. W. Boden discussing the merger. "We have already completed and sold the first unit of six homes in Lakeshore Hills, the second unit ot six homes is now nearing 'completion and one of these has been sold, to Sidney Bailey." The frames on the third unit of six houses In this beautiful property are now going up and we will begin work shortly on another unit of 12 houses in this tract.

"In Piedmont Park a unit of five homes homes is nearing completion. The In TjjWaohnro Hull will Bell in irfikesnore liuis win sen from $0000 to $7950, on terms, and tho Piedmont Park houses, or a story and a half and two stories, will sell from $7850 to $8100. "The Peppin homes have become famous because of the sound material and splendid workmanship. We realize there Is a big nend for homes, rightly constructed on wide lots In the finest residence districts at the right prices." New Lumber Railroad Building Minarets and Western Railway Company, engaged in constructing a standard gauge steam railway from Fresno to a point beyond Crane Valley Dam in Madera county, has applied to the Rail road Commission for permission to istiue $50,000 common stock and to sell $2,200,000 6 percent bonds at not less than 97: The bonds are to be issued in denominations of $LJI00 and are to be secured by a first mortgage upon all of the property and assets of the com-pnny. The road is being duiu primarily for the lumbering operations of Sugar Tino Lumber Company which recently established its mills in Fresno.

The Sugar Pine Com pany, according to the application has advanced $738,063.54 to the railroad company and the proceeds of the securities now askea to oe issued are to reimburse the lumber company and to provide funds for the completion ot tne roaa. i READY Most Complete Exhibit Ever Made Opens on Thursday Next in Lakeshore Highlands With Big Ceremonv With formal exercises In Which will participate city officials and heads of civic organizations, the California Complete Homes Exposition will open next Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock Lake-hore Highlands.
