RENT PROFITEERS
TO BE CURBED

The legal aid department Of the
Bridgeport Charities Department has
taken the matter of exorbitant rents
in hand and is investigating all cases
reported to them. There is little
doubt that the city and state author
tiles will stand back of the poorer
people who have been gouged by the
grasping landlords. The authorities
are acting upon the recommendation
of Governor Holcomb and the State
Council of Defense. When a re-
port is made of landlord raising
the rent above normal or the aver
age rental of similar houses IN the
district, the case is turned over to
Legal Aid Attorney William Burton
for investigation.
