'i Tho association Is preparing a bill to I present to the Legislature, which, It 5t S passes, will allow first and second-class I cities to, lss-jo scrip for such public lm- '? provemcnts as sidewalks, sewers nnd street paving. Tho scrip Is to be a Hen j' upon tho property Improved and will ; draw' a reasonable rate of Interest. In 1 all probability. It will not bo more than 6 per cent. The scrip will be payable cither In live or ten annual Installments, ? but thero will be nothing to prevent tho property owner from paying it at any y tlmo and thus stopping interest. Mem bers of the association hold that it will y be an advantago not only to the prop- ., crty owners, but to the city as well, as I It will enable both to make lmurove- , monts and pay for them by the sale of scrip. If a man owns a little home and wishes the Improvements, he will bo enabled en-abled to have them under this arrange-4 arrange-4 ment, and, should ho not bo able to pay lor them for several years, it will not ? work a hardship upon him; whereas, n3 ( It has been and Is now, many havo been ' obliged to sell their homes In order to i pay for the improvements. I To Protect Landlords. Resolutions wer- also passed by tho as- sedation authorizing tho legislative com-; com-; mlttee to work for the passage of a bill for tho protection of landlords. If tho lushes of the members are heeded. It will soon be Impossible for any one to ; beat the owner of a building out of more than one month's rent, for among tho grovlslons that the bill will contain will o one making It possible to seize per-fl per-fl scnal property where a month's rent is f due and unpaid. Under existing laws, -, according to a statement of one of the members, the man who Is on to his Job can Jolly a landlord along and dodge so many corners that six months or more miiy elapse before he can even get possession pos-session of the building. |
