upon the location and number OF
rooms. The company Increased the
rents OF the tenants last year 20
cents per room month. and some
OF the colored tenants made COM
plant to the Rent Commission. The
commission not only ruled that the
increase was warranted. but paid q
tribute to the persons interested In
the work.
The new schedule. which will go
into effect on January I. will be:
Two rooms and bath apartments, 50
to $3.50 a month; throe rooms and

not build at the present time.
Mr.. Wilson. secretary of the com

made necessary to pay the per cent

the increased rents the prices paid by

that all the stock authorized was not

sToRRs HENS SHOULD LAY
 TOTAL OF IsS.773,EGGS

TOTAL OF 166,773 EGGS
 At the close of the twenty-sixth week the ninth annual egg race is just half over. Already there is a good deal of guessing and approximating the probable outcome. To be sure the contest has not been established as long as some oth- CT institutions like bureaus that furnish us with all kinds of weather. On the other hand it appears that there have been collected enough data to warrant an intelligent prediction on the outcome of the current competition. During the pas five years the hens at Storrs have averaged to lay during the first six months 42.9 per cent. of their total an- nual yield. The hens now at Storrs have laid in these first six months H. 546 which means on the above basis that they ought to lay during the year a grand total of 166,773 eggs. It is only fair. to add that this is some 5000 eggs more than the best yearly record ever made by these competing hens The answer however, is that at this moment the hens in the contest are nearly 4,500 eggs ahead of the five year average
