The Committee on Resolutions was reporting. They said
that Whereas Almighty God in his beneficent mercy had seen
fit to remove to a sphere of higher usefulness some thirty-six
realtors of the state the past year, Therefore it was the sentiment
of this convention assembled that they were sorry God
had done it, and the secretary should be, and hereby was,
instructed to spread these resolutions on the minutes, and to
console the bereaved families by sending them each a copy.
A second resolution authorized the president of the
S.A.R.E.B. to spend fifteen thousand dollars in lobbying for
sane tax measures in the State Legislature. This resolution
had a good deal to say about Menaces to Sound Business and
clearing the Wheels of Progress from ill-advised and shortsighted
obstacles.
The Committee on Committees reported, and with startled
awe Babbitt learned that he had been appointed a member
of the Committee on Torrens Titles.
He rejoiced, "I said it was going to be a great year! Georgie,
old son, you got big things ahead of you! You're a natural-born
orator and a good mixer and— Zowie!''
