The ;pecial meeting Mr. Bealmear, in discussing the plans adopted, sald that the committee had carefully considered various methods which have been tried out in Baltimore and elsewhere with varying degrees of success, and had finally decided to join in the national movement initiated by the national association, “The committee felt that this na- tional plan would provide a central clearing house fhrough which the local units could obtain the information and statistics necessary to intelligent action D dealing with the many complicated problems involved,” Mr. Bealmear said. “We have made a careful survey of Baltimore tax conditions and are con- vinced that real estate is paying far more than its share of the tax burden, and there is no form of relief except through the efforts of an organization strong enough to make its voice heard by our law makers and tax assessofs.” .

Material for veneers is found chiefly in Africa, Madagascar, the Cameroons, Dutch East Indles, Bombay, Morocco, Brazil, Tasmania and Central America, their tones and finish according with the modern demand for vigor, color and novelty in interior decoration.
