VALUES ON RECORD
Brokers Express Divergent
Views on Advisability of
Publicity Enforced by
New Revenue Measure.
A treat deal has been said In regard
to tho advantage and disadvantage of
bavin? the prloe shown In transfers of
real estate by tho to-cent Internal revenue
stamp which, under tho new law, must
fee attached to tho deed for every $500 of
xjulty which is conveyed. If tho property
is sold clear, this applies to tho whole
amount! It there Is a mortgage upon It,
the tax must be paid upon the selling
price less the amount of the mortgage,
In any event, by the examination of the
record at the Recorder of Deeds, Includ
ing that of mortgages, the price paid can
eaiJy be determined.
CONCEALED PIIICKS.
For many years many brokers, often
tinder direct Instructions from clients,
have avoided putting the consideration or
selling prlco In the deed, and frequently
it has been made a part of tho agreement
of sole. This practice Is not n3 a general
ruto designed to mislead anyone It may
oome from tho reason which has been
stated by a prominent West Philadelphia
broker, who said In part:
. "I bcllovo It should bo no more Incum
bent on a purchaser of real estate to tell
Trhat price ho paid for It than It Is for
him to'dlsclose the cost of his clothes or
hat. This disclosure of prices often workr
considerable damage. For Instnnce, a
man owning a house In a block of sim
ilar dwellings Is hard pressed for money
And for this or for other reasons sells his
houso at a figure much below Its real
value. This will Inevitably have no ef
fect on tho prlco which It Is possible to
Obtain for other proportlea In the block."
Another broker said: "I have always
considered tho purchase of real estate
as much of a private transaction as the
purchase of merchandise." Another re
marked: "I have always believed It would
be better all round If the real price wore
published. It would stop, for one thing,
the 'faked' prices which aro frequently
given out and prevent many crooked
deals. Tho mortgagee would have a safe
guide for investment, something which
might have tho effect of rendering money
for mortgages more plentiful than It Is
at present."
The views of those quoted are entitled
to the greatest consideration.
For many years trust companies, and
es a general rule all persons acting for
others In n fiduciary capacity, such ns
trustee, oxecutor, etc., have Insisted upon
tho true amount at which a property 13
bought or sold going Into the deed.
Tho office of the Itecorder of Deeds Is
obviously a placo whero tho deed Is prop
erly entered as to Its date, description,
signatures and acknowledgments. If tho
proper amount was also put In tho pro
ceeding for today and for tho future
would be correct and complete.
PIUCES AND VALUES.
The price at which a property has been
old Is not conclusive In any way as a
measure of value of a simitar property,
oven that adjoining. "What were tho
reasons for tho price? Perhaps bank
JRiptey, no money, bad times, many con
tingencies.
Market value is not a price at which a
property can be forced upon the market.
One person must want to sell and an
other want to buy; buyer and seller must
come Into accord, one wishing to sell and
another anxious to buy; then a. price Is
mode which would have a distinct value,
a fair criterion of similar property. If
prloe of J6000 has been ruling In a
block for some time and a Bale Is made
Of one of the properties at 8000, it Is as
sumed that the sale la a special one and
there are reasons for It. No broker would
change his value on thnt for others, but
if It Is followed by others and properties
appear for sale, then it Is a matter to be
considered In the value of all.
K Is also a fact that land may be near
valuable land without being as valuable,
the owner may be In contact with rich
people and valuable things without be
ing very rich.
A WORD FOIt ASSESSORS.
Now, in regard to the real estate as
sessors. Of course, they are pleased over
the possibility of real values being dis
closed, as they would have a safe guide
to their valuations. For years they have
had a great deal to contend with, and in
tnost cases have to be as good Judges of
human nature as of real estate' to know
how to handle the cases that dally come
before them.
One man wants his property assessed as
high as possible. He Is getting mort
gages, and the lender will advance only
M per cent, of the assessed value, as If
any action of an ossessor could add one
dollar to the value. Another oannot rent
his property for enough to get all the
fixed charges paid often because he will
Mot spend a moderate amount upon it In
repairs. He tries his eloquence upon the
assessor as a measure of relief. Other
cases could be cited. One of the best
things to do if the assessment is too
high or too low U to go to the ward
assessor and make a frank statement
Bs wants the amount as near right aa
he can make it when everything Is
weighed.
Persons trying to buy a whole block
of property would find the new law a
hardship, and to many it would seem
n undue publicity given to private af
fairs. It would, however, be wonderful
how soon the public would adapt itself
to the new conditions, and those who
have covered up details that should not
bo covered up would meet with an ob.
taole to keep them 4a line and protect
H4iu nuu cuga in Business with tnero.

DEALERS AT FOOD SHOW
EXPECT LOWER FRUIT PRICES
Baltimore Vlsltoru Admire Exhibi
tion nt Terminal-Market,
A number of delegates from the Lex
ington Market of Baltimore arrived In
this city today. The visitors devoted
their time to a study of the Flood
ing Terminal Market, where "Fruit and
Vegetable Day" Is being celebrated at
tho nnnuat food exposition now taking
placo there.
Among the fruit and vegetable displays,
which attracted much favorable com
ment from the out-of-town visitors this
morning, wero those of David II, Simon,
Felix Bpatoln. & Sons, A. St. Itepelto
and James II. Montgomery. Tho visitors
asked many questions and said that they
learned much of vnluo from the Philadel
phia dealers. They agreed that this Is an
exceptionally good fruit yenr nnd pre
dicted that prices will not eonr lo tho
height reached during tho last few years.
In speaking on tl'ls point, John' Mont
gomery, "one who knows," said:
"It has been n great many years since
we have had such fnvorable reports from
the Southern fruit growers, nnd unless
the crops are spoiled by heavy frosts I
am confident that prices will be low on
all winter fruits, Of course, oranges and
grapefruit ara not tow as yet, for the
season has not really begun, but within
a month, I believe, the change will ba
noticeable, not only In tho prices, but
In tho quality of the fruit."
Thero whs one dealer In tho market
that tho "old-tlmors" among tho Balti
more delegates knew well by reputation.
He Is Clarence B. Fow, of Oscar A. Fow
& Son, meat dealers. This firm Is the
oldest of Its kind In this city, having
been started In 162 by a great-great-great-great-grandfather
of tho present Air. Fow.

"It han been the duty of Folkestone,
as the only open port on the south coast,
to render 'first aid' during the past three
months to the many thousands of refu
gees who, day by day, have been forced
to flee from their own country and seek
shelter within these shores. We have
taken It as a privilege that It Had fallen
to4 our lot. as a town, to endeavor to
maintain the ancient reputation of Eng
land as an asylum for tho oppressed. And
although the work has been arduous In
the extreme, we have been Immensely
encouraged by the generous financial
help which has come to us, not only from
other parts of England, but from various
other quarters of the globe."
