Forest Hills Tenants,
Rent Raised, Sue to
Test EvictiOn Lu,U.

Developments yesterday in the suit
to test the powers of the courts to
protect tenants whose leases have ex-
pircd from election through high rent
increases showed that the rents on
the leases Of twenty tenants at the
Garden Apartments, at Forest Hills
who are bringing the suit, have
jumped from $1,477.50 a month in 1915
to $2,945. The unusual points raised
in the suit will insure its being care
fully watched by thousands of tenants
who are in similar situation.
In letter to W. w. Bruse, one OF
the tenants. Guyon L. C. Earle, the
agent, explains that the rents have
been raised to bring them on pal
with those in new apartments the own
ers are now constructing.
I'VE find it costing us so much more
to build new apartments" he said yes
terday, "that we cannot afford to lease
the apartments for what we have beer
getting at the Garden. If we have te
charge so much for the new apart
ments, those in the Garden are worth
more, too"
According to Albert Rohrback, chair
man of the tenants committee, the
present rent roll pays $106,02O a year
on the apartment, whose assessed val.
uation is 100000. The government
set Ia per cent as a liberal wartime
allowance for gross profits. Rents now
range. as high as $4,000 for four rooms
and bath. One-room apartments run
from $50 to $11O month.

brlcklayers never were able to work
much more than half the time. Mr..
Gill denied that there was any attempt
to limit the amount Of brick laid.
Edward l. Hannah, president Of the
Central Federated Union, pledging the
cooperation of that body, attacked the
proposal for taking the tax off mort
cages. He said there had been no con-
structive suggestion from the investors,
accused the material dealers of profit
eering and renewed the attack on the
erectors. who, he said, were trying to
destroy organized labor.
There has never been finer spirit
in the labor unions of the city in the
last fifty years." he said. ave are

with any one who will help us toward
the ending of.this great menace to the
comfort and livelihood Of our citizens"
Frank Mann, Tenement House Com
missioner, urged that the mortgage tax
exemption apply only to mortgages on
dwellings,, so that it would force capital
out OF the big commercial enterprises
which investors favor and into home
building. He also urged steps toward
a constructive program for municipal
housing.
