rule, was perdicted yesterday by
former Premier Kerensky, who de-

tAn from Russia justified the state
ment that Bolshevism among the
Russian people no longer exists.
Meantime the Soviet armies are
fighting a death struggle on a front
extending from Riga on the north
to the Crimea in the south. Riga
dispatches today stated that heavy
fighting continues in the North

tween the Poles and Bolsheviki
Moscow acknowledges that Gen
Dudenny, former Bolsheviki cavalry
leader, has deserted the Soviet cause
and is conducting military opera
tions with considerable force

Riga distrist.
Advices today from Sebastapol
indicate that Gen, Wrangel's winter
campaign against the Reds rs max

attempt to win the Kakhova bridge

bringing up ten fresh divisions in
a desperate attempt to stay Wran-

Proposed Real
Estate Legislation
Not Constitutional
George W. McAdam Holds
Some of the Measures
Aimed at Landlords
Would Not. Hold i'm Court

The following letter has been re-
ceived from George W. McAdam,
known to most real estate men as
an authority on real estate law. who
is Of the opinion that much Of the
proposed legislation directed at prop
erty and landlords would be decided
unconstitutional by the courts Of tho
state if brought before them:
~ observe that various bills have
recently been offered in tho New York
Legislature intended, as it is asserted,
to curb profiteering by owners of real
estate In the use Of their property.
Having had an extended experience
in the law relating to landlord and
tenant in this city / am Of opinion
that these proposed bills are without
legal sanction, and void, and that such
bills unchallenged are having a detri-
mental effect in discouraginE builders
from entering the field Of construction.
The latter, in many cases, assume. II
such bills may be passed by the LeRis-
lature limiting the income and re-
strlcting the use Of property, they
could be extended SO as to limit and
restrict such use to any extent. Our
liberty has been so seriously intruded
upon of late by such dangerous
precedent as the prohibition act, and
IN other respects it is little wonder
such uncertainty exists.
The Court of Appeals, citing many
adJudlcated cases to similar effect in
Forster agt. Scott, 1876 New York Re-
ports. page 677, by unanimous bench
decided that whenever law deprives
the owner Of real estate Of the bene-
nclal use and free enjoyment Of his
property, or imposes restrictions upon
such use and enjoyment that 1t affects
Its value without legal process or COM
pensation, and deprives him of his
property within the meaning Of the
constitution, is void
"It is obvious that the freouent nrs.
sentation Of such bills has the effect to
discourage builders and keep off and
postpone the very thing We so much
require at this time, viz, the con
struction at once of homes for residen-
tlal purposes for all classeS It ia in
no respect clear that, even at present
high rentals, the construction Of build
ings for occupation is q safe, contin-
ulng business proposition.
Experience has sadly taught US that
while agreements and leases for fixed
terms are binding and enforceable IA
against the responsible landlord, this
does not equally apply to the nom
responsible tenant, who SO often treats
such compacts as worthless scraps Of
paper, and In many cases so carelesslv
Ill treat apartments occupied by them
as to cause needless, unnecessary az
pense to landlords"
