PASS IT!

THE rent ordinance introduced yes
= terday may be a bit unwieldy. Ger
tainly it is not a. sharp and concise a.
most of us would have liked to see it.
But the blame lies with our legislative
handicaps.
Our legislature, perhaps, is at fault
for curtailing city powers in some i'm
portant respects. Certainly it would be
better If each rental case would not need
a separate council ordinance. But that,
apparently, can not be avoided. 1t
would, in fact, be better If a commission
outside Of the council and board of pub
lie works could be devised But in order
to protect the legality of the measure,
that also could not be avoided.
The big, Worthwhile thing to remem-
Der, however, 10 that the ordinance is the
best that the corporation counsel could
devise. 1t 10 not the part of the city dads
to worry about its legality. Let the un-
scrupulous landlords worry about that.
Let them hight It OUT in the courts If
they choose. In the meantime the city
has the right to assume that it can func-
ton in the interests of the people.
