COLUMBUS. Ohio. April 2.-Ohio
may attempt to curb alleged rent
profiteering through a system Of mu-
nicipal licenses for landlords. Not un-
til 1t has been definitely established
that cities are without authority to
provide relief will the state. through

The states attitude was set forth
by Gov. Cox and the proposed license
system was agreed to at a conference
here yesterday Of city attorneys from
fifteen of the largest cities with the
governor and Attorney General Brice.
Whether such licensing system Is
possible under present city charters
and general municipal laws is to be
determined by committee Of attor-
neys.
Should this committee decide cities
under present law are without au-
thority to license landlords and thus
control alleged profiteering, 1t is be-
lieved the governor may call the leg
islature in special session to provide
adequate legal machinery.
