Since way back in .1881, the Morrill family have been closely ftnsooliitt'1 "lth land de- creased demand for heating equip elopment, Morrill, who is a grading engineer, has assisted in the development of every tract opened up for building in the course of spectacular growth of the past decade. His wide experience and familiarity with the whole area on which Oakland is situated is excd)-tlonal.

Among the pictures Morrill presents to his hearers is that of Havens, with a little group around him, of whom Elmer was one, pointing out from the Pled- fMsW VM VvN. ment In the Bay district. This has been brought about by the desire of hf-hnma ownpr of today for home comforts. It is also noteworthy that during the heating season a large' volume of this demand is for the Installation of gas furnaces In old homes that have not had adequate methods of heating. New homes, on the other hand, are almost without exception, with heating systems installed, or proper provision made, such as flues, for future installations.

"This Increased demand has made it necessary for Frank L. Pollard Company, S20 Thirteenth street; to enlarge their Kast Oakland plant to accommodate this extra business. Each year shows a larger demand and the past winter the Installations were more than doubled.

"A number of owners of property on Broadway, between 7th 'and 10th streets, and in Clay street, between 12th and San Pablo avenue, have expressed the desire to be Insisting that the lessees should pay for the Installation of the" new lighting system.

Thesa property owners overlook the fact that improved street lighting Increases property values. "A way out of the difficulty has been found by a number of property owners whose property is leaseed by entering into an agreement with the lessees to bear a portion of the installation costs.

Knight, Estate Boards at its seventeenth annual convention in Washington, June 3-6, were as "follows: (1) Resolved, That, inasmuch as this Association expressed adherence to national tax reduction along the lines of the Mellon plan, endorsed and suppjrted by President CoolidKe, it now reiterates its position that it is the sense of this Association that the nation should lead off with a real tax reduction program as an example to all the states and municipalities.

Further be it Resolved, That builder, 1420 Franklin Lakeside 10314. borhoods, to civic organizations, and to the press of their respective communities In securing tha desired results. (5) Resolved, That the association favors legislation by Congress providing for the best scientific enlargement of the plan for the city of Washington and the extension of Its parks, so as to preserve t'-c natural scenery and allow fo- the future development of the city in a way that will maintain and enhance its beauty, and it ugres the early passage of said legislation lest the present rapid growth of the city, in the absence of such a plan, make its later adoption impractical or impossible. Other resolution recommendr'd to constituent boards the utmost vigilance in maintaining and enforcing the code of ethics of. the association; urged such constituent boards as do not now have an effective machinery for this duty to make provision for the same; urged member boards to be vili- lant in protecting the use of the term "realtor" against use by non- fe ci r0ifm Mm f.

nrembors, and to acquaint the pub- lie widely with the meaning of the term find with the ideals for which it stands; urged member boards' to endeavor to secure the I tion in educational institutions of -1 courses in real, estate, as recommended by the association's educational committee, and to encouraae the use of the correspondence curse and text boolis approved by the association. B1 this reform is the most important single post war project in which all the citizens could Join, tending to reduce business expenses, the cost of living and to promote conditions precedent to a genuine return to sound prosperity. Further be it Resolved, That this Association expresses hereby to the President of the United States its high admiration of the couraseous stand taken by him, and that we trust in the early success of his efforts. 2) Resolved, That we express our disappointment at the failure of Congress to pass the resolution necessary to submit to the States the question of ending the unsound and discriminatory practice of issuing tax-exempt securities, the continuance of which will" undermine our prosperity and which strikes at the very foundations of our institutions by creating a class of privileged wealth that can enjoy all the benefits of government without bearing any of its burdens. This Association stands firmly on the principle that no classes of persons or property should be exempted from their just contribution to the cost of the government that protects them.

We, therefore, urge every member board to press this question insistently and unceasingly on its members of Congress and the Senate until this evil is remedied. (3) Resolved, That we reaffirm our belief that in income tax legislation capital gains and losses should be eliminated, because such gains are not in a true sense income, and because, in practice the allowance of the deduction of capital losses has resulted in a loss to the government of tax it should have received, (4) Resolved, That the improvement of railroad property through cities and of adjacent industries is desirable; and further, that the properties of such companies may be, with changed from their unsightly 'appearance to that of modern attractiveness; and it Is further Resolved, That this association recognize the great advantages thereby to be gained by municipalities, railroads and industries, and can you buy such big frontage, improved and restricted 4iomesites as are now available in the last unit of PROGRESS NOTED HCIMPilGHFfli BETTER LIGHTING jis all yoras meedl it stare ypuir ItoEBic 8 A big level lot in sunshiny Millsmont!
