support at the hands of other Sen
ators. Senator King saidI
my investigation leads me to be-
lieve the District Commission hasn't
exercised the power IL is invested

Senator Sherman said he thought
the District committee could do a
good service by conducting an inves-
tigation. and he would be glad to
support legislation relative to food
stuffs along the lines OF the SauIs-
bury resolution on rentals. though as
to this he thought the landlords
would send nearly everyone their
usual thirty-day notice under leases
to quit October l.
Senator King later said:
Il believe both the commission and
the local food administrator have
powers they have not exercised.
believe the District Commission could
exercise control over these hotels.

could prevent much of the excessive
charging now imposed for foodsturfs.
