REALTY MAN GUILTY OF HOLDING UP RENT A North Camden real estate dealer was. found guilty of withholding rent collections at a meeting of the New Jersey Real Estate Commission in the court house building yesterday. D. Jamieson, of 106 North Fifth street, trading as the Jamieson Real Estate Co., was charged with retaining money due to Mrs. Marie Lafferty, of 424 Tyson Street, owner. The commission, headed by Edward J. Borden, newly chosen president, ordered Jamieson to make restitution. Joseph Munger, of 3302 River Avenue, charged with operating a real estate business without a license, was ordered to obtain a state certificate. Munger, who stated he owns 22 properties, testified he was chiefly interested in selling his own holdings and promised to procure a license. Borden, who presided at the first regular meeting since taking office, was given an informal reception.	106 North 5th Street 1933 Jamieson Real Estate Co. Camden Courier-Post June 24, 1933
