Says Landlords
Found Way to
Nullify Law
Justice ]. S. Strahl Charges
They Manipulate Courts
by Writs of Mandamus;
Tenants Are Helpless
Judges Are Hand-Picked'
Wants Holdover Proceed
ings Abolished So Lessees'
Rights May Be Protected

The system by which it Is alleged
that landlords are manipulating the
courts to their own advantage and the
complete notification Of the rights of
tenants was described yesterday by
Municipal Court Justice Jacob S. Strahl
in his testimony at City Hall before
the joint committee on housing
He charged that by obtaining writs
of prohibition, or mandamus. the land
lords were able to place the tenants
with whom they had disputes COM
pletely at their mercy. He said he OPP
posed any repeal of the rent laws, but
he did urge that they should be amend
ed to avoid this writ evil
81 feel" said Justice Strahl, chat
great danger has crept into the law
in other words, certain of these land
lords, not the legitimate ones, have
succeeded in finding way to nullify
or evade the law"
Judges Hands Tied
He explained that when first dis
pute between landlord and tenant comes
up in court, it is the general custom to
allow the tenant a month OF SIX weeks
in which to hunt for another home,
without the menace of immediate evic-
ton. Generally, in the present condi-
ton of housing in the city, this time
expires before the tenant can find
place to move to. He then determines
to come before the Municipal Court
again and ask for an extension of time.
1t is here, Justice Strahl explained,
that the manipulation Of the law by
landlords is made apparent.
"They go to the Supreme Court" he
said, "and get a writ of prohibition
addressed to the sitting justice pro-
hibting him from passing upon the
case until the writ is argued in the
Supreme Court three or four days
later. They also resort to d writ OF
mandamus, prohibiting the judge from
determining that particular case until
it has been heard in the Supreme Court
"These writs tie the hands of the
judge so that he is powerless to act,
and the very same day that the matter
comes up in the Municipal Court for
hearing and the judge is served with
the writ of prohibition or mandamus
we find that the tenant is put out into
the street, which means that. when the
writ comes up for argument in the Su-
preme Court there is nothing to argue
because the tenant already has been
cvicted."

But there has for years been an insistent
demand for another car to supplement the
Twin Six: car Of shorter wheelbase and
lighter weight, a general.purpose car of
great maneuverability in traffic, one that
would park in a short space at the curb.
And the demand was that this light car
should give unusual gasoline mileage and
tire mileage, and finally, that it should be
designed and built Packard-wise, and
) therefore be able to keep out of the repair
shop longest and to require least attention
from its owner or driver. ~
We thought it over and studied the
problem for good many years, during
all Of which we were accommodating ex.
perience in the design and production of
the highest possible grade of car.
We have At various times during the
past ten years designed lightweight COM
panion to our larger cars, but were never
entirely satisfied with our efforts.
Then the war broke out in 1914, and
believing that America would inevitably
become involved, we turned our attention
to designing airplane engines, and from
then to the close Of the war, had a thor
oughly successful experience in designing
and manufacturing airplane motors, which,
as you know, must give the greatest power
Nth the least possible weight.

maximum power, and the ultimate in

large car. That is the field in which the

produce an active, easily-opersted, high.

twenty miles to the gallon Of gasoline. Of
course, in congested city driving, the mile.
age will not be SO high.
Average tire mileage can be expected to
exceed $1,000 miles. In our extensive

have had some tires in fair condition at

Announcing
Packard @Single Six
The TO- Year Car

We learned great deal through this
experience that was applicable to the
automobile, and towards the close of
the war we felt we were finally well
equipped by experience to design the
lightweight car.
Meanwhile, with constantly growing
talk of congestion in traffic, and increasing
cost Of gasoline, tires and other supplies,
the demand for the light car became more
and more insistent.
We have taken several years for the
development and perfection Of this new
Packard, but we believe we have accom-.
plished what we set out to do, and take
now pride in announcing that the
Packard Single Six will soon be ready. 1t
will be manufactured alongside the Twin
Six and by the same matured and expe.
rienced organization.
The new Car is of five-passenger capac-
ity and will be offered in Touring,
Runabout, Coupe and Brougham or Sedan.
Ihe motor has six cylinders, 1913 bore
by Az stroke. 1t is therefore Of medium
size, and despite its light weight is very
sturdily built.
1t is equipped with the Fuelizer.
The Single Sir motor is new through,
out, but it Is not experimental.
1t includes every principle of good
engineering that our experience has shown
to make for maximum power, coupled
with silent operation and freedom from
annoying troubles. We have failed Of
our intentions If we have not produced
motor that will run longer and require
less attention than any other.
Our chassis design is very simple and
clean. Its light weight, together with its
unusually efficient motor, result in very
economical car.
