Local real estate boards also were called upon to suggest practical ways to create such new machinery, designed to make purchase of homes easier for the average man. Other plans designed to make home ownership easier, to stabilize realty values, to improve home design and to ease the tax burden on the owners of real property were adopted by the realtor convention.
