against what he called "joker." Mr..
Levy said a provision giving the pur-
chaser of an apartment in building
sold on the cooperative plan the right
to oust tenant would place many ten
ants in a serious predicament.
Calls Laws "Half Baked"
Mr.. Hilly asserted that the provision
might be considered joker, but he
declared that Mr.. Levy was mistaken in
believing that tenants in buildings sold
on the cooperative plan after the pas
sage of the laws could be evicted. He
explained that the provision applied
only to buildings sold before the laws
were passed.
David Hirshfeld, Commissioner OF
Accounts, yesterday characterized the
new laws as "half baked" "They will
help the poor tenant who is harassed
by greedy landlord, but they do moth

looking for home. Additional hous-
ing could have been provided within
program had been adopted. AS things
stand, the real crisis is still with us.
Mr.. Hilly yesterday issued an expla-
nation of the new laws, simplifying his
views published in The Tribune. He
said:
THE situation, as far as the land
lord and tenant are concerned, is merely
question of fair and reasonable rent
These laws may be best illustrated by
a description of the process of opera
ton.
"1f the tenant deems the rent ex-
cessive he can plead in dispossess pro-
ceeding the fact that the rent was ex-
cessive, and the court proceeds to a de-
ants have signed leases in which they
deem: the rent reserved as unreason-
able, they can contest the reasonable.
ness of the rent by refusing to pay
same.
at does not matter whether the in
crease has been Is per cent or under,
the entire burden of proving the rea-
sonableness of the rent is placed upon
the landlord. Where the landlord has
refused to grant lease and the ten
ant has been asked to move, he is not
compelled to comply with the landlord S
request.
"The remedy that the landlord has is
to sue the tenant for the reasonable
value for the use and occupation of
the premises.
"The only case in which dispossess
is permitted for hold-over is where the
landlord can establish that he, in good
faith, desires the apartment for his
own use, where building is to be de-
molished and plans for new structure
have been filed and proved, or where
the tenant has been guilty of objec-
tionable conduct. In all instances,
these contentious must be proved to
the satisfaction of the court. Tenants
who have homes have no need for fur
ther worry if they are willing to pay a
fail and reasonable amount as decreed
by the court.
THE new laws relieve the tension
and protect the health of the COM
r:unity, and as they go into operation
their beneficent effects will become
more and more appreciated"

Houston Defends Check
Kept ON Liberty Bonds
McCarter's Charge That Securi-
Ties Have Been Stolen Whole
sale Denied; Facts Demanded

From The Tribume's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept 2s.-A vigor-
Gus defense of the governments hand
ling of Liberty bonds and other secu-
rites was made to-day by Secretary of
the Treasury Houston in two letters to
John W. McCarter, formerly Assistant
Register of the Treasury, who charged
that a large number of Liberty bonds
had been stolen and that the Treasury
was lax in canceling bonds that had
been surrendered.
touching on cancellation of bonds,
Secretary Houston said:
according to the records of the
Treasury Department no retired secu-
rites are now outstanding uncanceled,
though, as you know, during your term
of Office as Assistant Register, 100000
face amount of uncanceled bonds were
abstracted from the files bv thief and
were later recovered by the department
over year ago. If you have knowl-
edge or information of any other alb
strations of securities, Cancelled or un-
cancelled, during your term Of Office or
since its expiration, have to request
that you promptly advise the Treasury
in order that appropriate action may be
taken. In this connection I need
scarcely remind you that while you
were Assistant Register of the Treas
ury you were in immediate charge Of
the custody and cancellation of retired
securities, and were responsible, there
fore, as an officer of the United States"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-The rental

partment of Labor, which owns the
houses, was crystallized to-day in a
fiat refusal to reduce rents. A COM

practices on the part of the United

sent to Secretary William B. Wilson by
D. W. Cabin, president, on Saturday.
He charged that most of the tenants
would refuse to pay the 25 per cent
increase demanded on the ground that
it was profteering, and added that at
tempts to evict them would be fought
in the courts here.
An official of the Housing Corpora
tion said in reply that a committee of
the tenants would be welcome in
Washington, and if the tenants could
show that the government price for
the houses was exorbitant it would be
cut. The reply went on to say, how
ever, that the Watertown houses are
offered at 55 per cent of their repro
