City Clerk Kept Busy
 With Persons Whose
 Rent Had Been Raised

! Alderman Daniel P. Hanrfgan's res- oIution in regard to .lano1ords who are raising rents, brought a string of com plaints to the city clerks office to- day and demonstrated how general has been this practice. More than a dozen tenants filed complaints with the city clerk. Each one claimed his rent had been raised not once, but several times.
 4 One woman who was paying SIS be- fore the factory of the Remington Arms & Ammunition co. came here, had. her rent raised first. to $23. Now it has been raised to $50. Another re- ported. a raise of from SIP to $16 per month and a. second raise recently to SIS. Still another reported raise from $20 to $21 and again to SPA. The most pathetic of all is that Of a widow with three. children Her little home con sists of three rooms fer which she for- merly paid $7 per month. Her land lord some time ago raised her rent to $8 and has since raised it to $10.
 Under the terms of Alderman Harri- gan's resolution adopted by the com mon council last night City Clerk Rob- inson must keep list of all landlords who raise rerits and report them to the board of tax assessors, so that the earning capacity of the property may be known and the value assessed ac- cordingly. <
