The first practical step to combat land speculation in Palestine was taken today by the Tel Aviv municipality in collaboration with the Jewish Agency Executive and with the headquarters of the Jewish National Fund by establishing a special bureau to collect and distribute information on real estate.

A demand that the Palestine government reduce taxation and customs duties was voiced today at a meeting of the Tel Aviv Chamber of Commerce by S. Hoofen of the Anglo-Palestine Bank.

The Chamber of Commerce also adopted a resolution to urge the Palestine government to issue another loan for major works in the city of Tel Aviv.
