MAYOR OF WATERBURY
 RAISES A QUESTION
Wants Governor HOlcOmb tO Get After Greedy Brass
 City Landlords

Hartford, Nov. 1G.-Mayor Scully or waterbury and Judge Walter Makepeace of the Waterbury district court had conference with Governor Holcomb today with a view of having
 the governor take steps to try to eff
 feet a reduction in price of rents in
 Waterbury. It was claimed that they
 were excessive and that the governor
 had the power to take action under the law passed by the last session of
 the General Assembly. The sugges-
 tion is that the governor appoint a
 board to look into the matter. Gov
 ernOr H HOlcomb has taken the matter under consideration. It is claimed that excessive rents charged by a small proportion of the landlords here tend to keep munitiCn workers and other factory operatives away from the city.
 A bill prepared by Judge Make peace, which it is claimed the gov- ernor's signature can make into law, under the constitutipnality powers vested in him during the time of war, provides a means of relief for tenants who are asked to pay unreasonable sums to landlords. This bill, in brief, calls for board of rents, to be made up of the assessors in each city or town of over 25,000 population in which work on munitions or govern ment supplies contracts is under way. { Tenants whose rent has been raised may appear before this board and in 1 cases in which dispossession pro- ceedings have been commenced with l the intention to secure a new tenant
 at a higher rate, the aSgrieved party
 may also appear, the board if in its Judgment such action is warranted as to fix the amount of rent at an amount not exceeding 20 per cent more than
 the rental of the same Or similar 1 premises on January 1, 1915.
