City Attorney. REALTORS MAKE DEFENSE

Local real estate men have thrown the glove down before Attorney Pettus. challenging him to find in any place where they have been raising rents ex- orbitantly, and stating that present ren- tai prices and conditions are due to the relations of supply and demand and ars no higher than they were in 1913-15
 The real cause of the high rents, D said one real estate dealer. lis the fact that we are dictated to by every land lord for whom who handle property whe have got it into their heads by reading accounts of the excellent conditions of the real estate market and of the scarci. ty that now exists in houses for rent that this is an excellent opportunity t; raise their rents"
 The consensus of opinion among them is that rents have gone no higher than they were in 1913-l5 and, in proportion to the high cost of everything else that they are reasonable.
 Frank E. Butler. president of the Bir mingham Real Estate exchange. saio yesterday:
 "The relations of supply and demand together with the increased upkeep of tn, suited in the present situation which i' no worse than it was in 19l3-15 since when fents in this city have suffered a severe slump.
 "Our books are open to the public and to the government. Very few of us are making as much as s per cent on the net value of our property-let them come and look for themselves.'
