Life in Texas
Rent PrOfteering

To the Editor Of the Euenin0 Public Ledger:
Sir--I have read with a great deal OF In
terest in the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER yes
terday the two articles headed Dealers De-
fend Rent Increases" and ~. S. Won't Help
Houseworkers." respectively I have been In
the city since last October and have searched
diligently to find house that would rent
for an amount in keeping with my salary.
say about s25 per month, and have failed
to find It. Interviews with half dozen real
estate agents resulted in my being told
there are no houses that will meet your re-
quirements." My furniture is in storage and
In the house 1 am rooming with my wife
there are two other men and their wives In
exactly the same predlcament In the course
of my travels in search of house have
noticed perhaps fifty vacant houses, two and
three stories mostly. where the rents range
from s35 to SIS per month. Half a dozen
or more of these houses have been vacant
five months and are still vacant. pass
them daily going to and returning from work.
Every one of them could be arranged to ac-
commodate two or three parties such as we
people who are occupying furnished rooms.
Consider the rent sacrificed in all these
months by permitting these houses and others
to stand vacant where. II rented to two fami-
lies without children, as would be the case
with people who are rooming in the house
we are in, S25 could be made minimum and
insure their being occupied the whole year
and by desirable people, persons working In
clerical capacity, ETC. The whole upshot OF
the matter and the only excuse for Increased
rents is that these agents. seeing the pos
sibility of large number of men of family
coming here to accept jobs at Hog Island and
other concerns employing people incidental
to war conditions, are assuming that the
newcomer who is paid high wages will take
up any vacancies that are created by rails
ing the rent of present tenant.
IL rents of houses continue to advance
many a family will move into rooms and the
congestion will be menace to the health of
families with children. SO far as can see,
there is no reason why the United States
Government cannot control rent proflteerng
here as 1t has done In Washington. con-
certed movement of all persons who are rent
ing houses particularly salaried people, who
| are victims of this pushing up of rents a few
| dollars every month or two. will accomplish
much. Let them get together and after
| appealing to local authorities Of, unsuccess-
| fully take the matter / 'fore the Washing
| ton authorities through Congressman and
Senators from the State w.
philadelphia. March a.
