Substitute after “governmental /?/ power” upper paragraph on p. 127.

     Such community authority, being proprietary instead of political, will establish its own community services, both positive and protective, and lease out its sites and resources to the most efficient and productive occupiers under guarantee of quiet and unmolested possession. In the interest of its own income and values it will no more impose than it would permit the imposition of taxation or other violence. For the unforced revenues coming to such owner-administrators not alone from their merely distributive services as at present but from the sale also of community services in general — peace and protection against violence, whether public or private, as adjunct to possession — will render taxation and the like compulsions profitless and vain.
