to 10 per cent. The only increases
which he intends to make for the COM
ing year, he said, are for rooms now
renting at $40. which he proposes to
increase to S45. He denied that he
had been a profiteer or that he had
doubled rents in the Cairo last year
When the testimony of previous wit
rents had been doubled. the witness
