I'VE BEG TO ADVISE

Real Estate Editor. Washington Times:
/ have been living in an apartment house
in the 500 block on N street for two years.
Last week all Of the tenants in this build
ing were requested to call at the agents
office TO sign q new lease raising the rent
SO. This agent informed US that unless
We sign the new lease the rent will be
raised $50 when the treaty of peace is
signed Must we comply with his request
now or move? A. 7.
You are not compelled to pay the
additional rent demanded at the pres
ent time. as the Salisbury act for
bids the increase of rent so long as
the tenants continue to pay their
monthly rental and comply with the
other reasonable provisions of the
lease. When the Salisbury act goes
out of existence. and the exact time
of this cannot be determined now, the
owner can raise your rent However,
the present temper Of Congress seems
to indicate that there will be some
legislation on the statute books to
follow the Salisbury act that will
protect tenants from unreasonable
or extortionate increases.

The national legislation committee re

committee. was yesterday mailed to
the delegates elected by the various
active and allied members Of the ANA
teur Athletic Union to attend the annual
convention of the national body in Bos-
ton. November 10 and II.
The amendment to General Rule 4 is
sure to meet with the unanimous ap-
proval of the competing athletes. 1t
calls for an increase in the amount of
expense money that an amateur athlete
is allowed to ask for, receive or accept
for meals and lodging in travelling to
and from an athletic meet. from $5 to
81 per day. The present rule was
placed on the books several years ago
when the cost of living was much less
than it is today, and it is expected that
this proposed amendment will be
adopted unanimously.
