Bolton, Guiding Rent
Fight, Is Victim N0,U

The monthly moeting of the Wash
ngton Heights Taxpayers Association,
composed largely of landlords and
property owners who have fought per-
sistently against rent profltcering, was
getting under way In it's headquarters
at 558 West 158th Street last night
when Reginald p. Bolton, secretary,
asked for the floor. He had just opened
letter that had been brought in from
the mail box. Here Is the letter as he
read it to the association:
"My Dear Mr.. Bolton:
"The writer has not heard from
you in reply to my recent letter
with regard to whether you desire
to make an extended lease on the
Office you are now occupying.
eve must have an answer to same
by return mail and would thank you
to give this matter your prompt at
tention.
"The rent will be $500 year Gan
increase of 1859.
"Signed 1-."
(Namc of landlord.)
Mayer G. Goldman, an attorney,
spoke on rent proliteering.
"Thesc raises in rent are without
rhyme or reason" he said. II know of
case in the Temple Court Building
where the rent of an Office suite has
been raised from $1,000 to $4,000 a
year 1t is up to such organizations as
unreasonable increases. Such action
as this is what is causing owners Of
property to be branded in the bulk as
unfit citizens and nrOfiteerS'
Charles Russell, an attorney, and a
member of the organization. who re-
Gently represented the association be-
fore the Legislature in Albany, de-
clared that without question the twelve
rent bills now pending and about to be
enacted were constitutional. He said
he believed the majority of the people
would favor bill for a rent commission
however, which would be composed of
real estate experts and whose duty it
would be to act as tribunal before
which tenants and landlords could
bring their grievances.
"The vscioGs and rampant state
ments made by certain landlords both
in Albany and in New York City in
public" he said, "are doing the decent
landlords and property owners more
harm than they ever will do good"
Albert Wesslau, an owner of prop
critics in the Washington Heights
districts, characterized the excessive
increasing of rents as making Boil
sheyists of the people," and SAID that
some drastic action should be taken to
halt the unreasonable rents being de-
manded in all parts Of the city.
The rent and housing bills under
consideration at the present time, ac-
cording to A. Vogel, president of the
Upper Manhattan Property Owners
Association, are sitting house building,
and he urged that some action looking
to stimulation of building be taken
at once.

MIST GO TO AUSTRALIA.
Padden May Row FELTON, for Title
nm Parramatta River.

Having won the title of world SOUL
ling champion from Ernest Barry OF
England. on the Thames, late IN Oc-
tober. Alfred FELTON, of Australia now
has the right to name the course on
which the next race shall be decided:
There is little doubt that he Will
choose the Australian course on the
Parramatta river, which measures
miles $50 yards.
This will mean a revival in what
was at one time Australia's premier
aquatic sport. Rowing has slumped
in the commonwealth since Richard
Arnst lost the world sculling cham
pionship to Barry, on the Thames, in
1912. Felton's first challenger Will
probably be James Padden. the cham
pion of Australia. FELTON, is an eX-
soldier His victory over Barry was
unexpected and the bringing back of
the title to Australia caused much en-
thusia SIN in sporting circles there.

1922 FUTURITY VALUE
WILL EXCEED $4,000

NEW YORK, January S-The phe-
nomenal entry which has been receiy-
ed for the futurity of 1922 shows
plainly that the prosperity of the turf
is such that the Westchester Racing
Association would be justified in go
ing back to the original conditions of
the race. which called for $4,000 add
ed money and a higher subscription,
The present intention, therefore, of
the Westchester Racing Association is
to close the futurity to be run in 1923
on the old lines. namely, $4,000 added
money and $25 for the first subscrip-
ton. Considering the number of nom
nations received this year. the value
of the stake for 1923, based on the old
terms, would exceed that of the year
1890, when the gross value of the
stake was $73,675-Potomac's year
