According TO "A resume Of the com

sought relief from rental conditions

than half involved rental Issues while
the remainder represented disputes
for possession. In the majuIltY OF
cases the commission has leaned fly.

While deductions permitted by the
commission range anywhere from 81
to $50 and more, the average rental
cut made is about $ls> Tho increases
allowed averaged approximately So
in each case affected.
MANY REDUCTIONS.
within the past two months more
than 90 per cent Of the commissions
determinations have ordered reduc-
tons in rents. Such condition is
explained by the fact that all cases
now fled with the commission are
regarded as extreme cases in which
the tenant has justifiablc cause for
complaint as 60 npared with cases

came operative. at which time many
complaints were in doubt as to their

If the ball is held in the Pension
Bureau, all employees there viii be

as a strong argument favoring the
erection OF large convention hall
