REALTORS START THE TASK OF LISTING ALL LOSSES
Officers and members of the Real Estate Exchange today plunged into the big task of appraising property burned in the riots, listing the names of losers and preparing files of insurance claims and legal transactions which they plan to handle as a whole for all property owners.
Headquarters first established at the corner of Brady and Greenwood avenue was moved to the Booker T. Washington school late this morning, but a branch will be maintained at the former point today and tomorrow.
To these points all white and negro property owners in the burned area are requested to report as soon as possible, in order that they may fill out blanks provided by the exchange, a copy of which blank is published in The Tribune. Renters of property also should report their losses in writing, and both renters and owners of destroyed property are urged by the exchange not to consult attorneys or make claims for insurance independent of the exchange, which will furnish this service and advice free of charge. The blank is as follows:
