LA GUARDIA URGES
1OP. c. RENT LIMIT
Would Hold Income Down to That
Figure and Believes Reputable
Landlords Would Agree.

President La Guardia Of the Board
OF Aldermen, who attended the housing
hearing in Albany yesterday, declared
to-day that the situation in New York
City is critical and that immediate
and substantial relief is imperative.
"A bill that would limit the income
TO 10 per cent net would produce good
results" he said, "and | believe that
the conservative, decent, reputable
landlords would be satisfied with 10
per cent. net.
The landlords who went to Albany
came out in the open and made a fair
showing Of where they stand. They
intend TO resist any law and resort to
the very convenient phrase Supply
and demand And in the meantime
this Is significant--they are not doing
any building. One of their sugges-
tions was to bring over more immi-
grants TO compete with the local labor
market. This would give more VIC
Tins for rent extortion and also in
crease the already congested condi-
ton"
