day fines for Washington landlords
who fail to supply tenants with q
temperature of IS degrees Fahren-

draft of bill sent to Chairman
Lawrence Y. Sherman of the Sen
ate District committee, last night
by the District commissioners.
The proposed Legislation. which
is designed to put teeth" in the
Ball rent law as il sects heating
service in apartments, houses and
rented premises, was drawn up yes
terday afternoon at a meeting of
the commissioners in the District
building on request of Chairman
James F. Oyster of the District
Rent Commission.
In a letter accompanying the
draft OF the bill the commissioner.
pointed out the inadequacy of the
present law with regard to epfore-
ing service regulations and stated
that the commissioner believe the
rent commission should have the
authority to determine the degree
of heat which must be furnished.
The commissioners bill requires
owners. landlords. lessons. subles-
sors or agents to keep apartments,
buildings. room or rooms "at a tenn
perature of not less than IS de-
grees between the hours of Z a
m and 10 =. m. when demanded
by the tenant" in view of his lease
or contract
Penalties for neglect or failure
on the part Of the owner or land
lord to keep the rented premises
at this minimum temperature dur
ing this period will subject him
il convicted. TO a fine OF not less
than SIS nor more than $4,000 for
each offense.
In order to make the enforcement;
more stringent. the commissioner
ask that each day Of suchc neglect
on the part Of the landlord be
counted as one of1ense.
The present law. passed octo-
Der 90. 1919, and known as the Bal
rent act, defines the term service
TO include light. heat water, tele.
phone, elevator service. furnitur,
and furnishings. but it does not
provide any penalty for failure e

nished. II would be difficult to de.
termine this degree of heat under
various circumstances. Some one
would have to pass judgment as tc
the degree of heat which would
make the rooms comfortable TO the
occupant
THE commissioners believe tha,
legislation of this character is very
necessary. and they further believe
the matter of determining the
amount of heat should be left to
the District Rent Commission" Il
is stated
This proposed amendment to the
Ball act would be applicable in such
cases as the Rent Commission Is
powerless TO act A case was re-
corded yesterday in which 100 rent
ers protested against the indiffer-
ence to their demands for heat and
similar service alleged to be shown

A State Bonus For Iowa Service Mel

A State Bonus For Iowa Service Men
One of the first measures to be
presented before the Thirty-ninth
general assembly next January will
be bill providing for a state bonus
for service men. w. G. Edison, Storm
Lake lawyer, and a member of the
legislature has drafted a bonus bill
which would provide $15 a month
for Iowa soldiers, sailors, marines
and nurses who were in service dur
ins, the war. Iowa has approximately
10000 veterans Of the world war
and Mr.. Edison has compiled statis-
tics which show that the average
Ieriod of service was fourteen
months. This would mean a fund of
$22,000,000 to carry out the provis-
ions of the bill. The proposed Edison
law would provide a minimum OF
$50 and would pay SIS for each
month or fraction o. month of SER
vice from the time the United States
entered the war until the armistice
was signed. Widows and children of
deceased service men would receive
the same benefits as the husband or
father would have received had he
lived.

Did You Eat Your Share of Ice
Cream.

Every person in the state Of Iowa
ate two and one-fifth gallons of ice
cream during the past year. Ac-
cording to statistics gathered by the
state dairy and. food commission five
and one-half million gallons of ice
cream worth 100000 were produc-
ed and disposed of in the state dur
ing the year ending Sept. Goth. This
is an increase of $4,000 in value
over the preceding year. 1t does not
represent a proportinate increase in
gallons, however, due to the increase
in price. The war tax added to the
tendency to increase price.
