Bill Prepared
to Protect Heal
Estate Buyers
Omaha Real Estate Board
Would Keep Unscrupu
lous Dealer Out of
Business.
The legislative committee of tho
Omaha Real Estate board this week
1 will begin' preparation of a license
bill for real estate agents to bo pre
sented at the next session of the Ne
braska legislature.
Tiie purpose of the bill, according
to members of the committee, will be
to "protect the public from incompe
tent or irresponsible brokers and
salesmen.”
Although two former attempts
have been made to obtain n real es
tate license law for Nebraska, the
realtors of the city and state are now
hopeful of favorable action this year,
because of the fact that 14 other
states now have such laws operating
successfully, and because the prin
ciple of real estate license laws has
been upheld by tho United States
supreme court In u test case brought
against the Tennessee license law.
"A license law,” according to G. J.
Mauel, former head of the state real
tors' association, “will not keep any
man of good character out of the
business, but It will prevent an un
scrupulous person from putting over
a fake by advertising himself as a
real estate broker."
Tho following states now have li
cense laws for realty dealers: Cali
fornia, Arizona, Tenneesee, Illinois,
New York, Wisconsin, New Jersey,
Utah, Louisiana, Montana, Idaho,
Michigan, Oregon and Wyoming.

The wells of the field In whicli tho
Glover & Morrell tract is located are

producers, and the strlk'- is cx'pected
to lead to other activities in tho im
mediate vicinity. A number of Omaha
persons are interested in some of the

U. S. Seeks Real
Estate Board Aid
Appraisals ]>v Board Given
Stamp of Approval by
Government.
Ileal Estate board appraisals have
been given the stamp uf approval by
the government, according to an an
nouncement sent to "the heads of all
departments and establishments," by
H. C. Smither, chief co ordinator of
the Federal Real Estate board of the
government in Washington.
A copy of this notice was received
by the Omaha Real Estate hoard last
week showing that Mr. Smither lias
instructed all departments of the gov
ernment having control of real estate
to refer appraisals to real estate
boards.
A portion of Mr. Smither s bulletin
says: "In view of the fact that the ap
praisals made by these boards are gen
erally considered to be the most ac
curate and Impartial obtainable, being
accepted in many cities as bases of
tax assessments and judicial decrees,
It is believed that I he service offered
may bo of great value in important
real estate transactions to which the
government is a party."
In line with a recommendation by
the national association, the Omaha
Real Estate hoard has offered to
make, free of charge, one appraisal
for the federal government.
