green came next to 1t. Then there

complaints were investigated, and near
ly all were found to be justified.
The Commissioners placed the whole
legal machinery Of the city at the SER
vice of these persons. Sometimes their
leases were found to be good, and the
landlords were told to subside. In
other cases the landlord had the tech
nlcal rights in the matter, whereupon
Commissioner Cannon asserted the
technical rights of the city,
1t is just as simple as that. In the
case of Landlord profiteers" who raise
the rents the theory is from every pos
sible angls of attack absolutely hole
proof, for the value Of any property is
based on the income it yields. In the
case Of the merely baby-shy landlord,
who does not complicate his offense
Oy raising the rent, the method is
equally legal and equally efficacious. If
the landlord wants to fight it, he will
bump his head against the letter of the
law and against. public opinion at the
same time. That isn't pleasant.
Gould your method be worked in an
other city?" Commissioner Cannon was
asked, "surposing that city had a
Mayor who cared anything about the
people? In New York, for instance? ?"
"Certainly," was the prompt answer.
