RENT BOARD DEFERS
VACATION PERIOD.
Members Had Planned Rest,
Beginning Friday, But Bust
ness Interrupts.

mem berS of the District rent commits
sion have decided to defer taking
their vacation for an indefinite PERIOD,
| it was learned today. The commits
sioners had intended to take month
rest beginning Friday
Despite the fact that no hearings
have been held for week the COM
missioners have before them many
disputes which demand priority over
a vacation, it is pointed out. Iestl-
mony in these cases has been re
corded and personal inspection or
many of the premises is yet to De
made. 1t is unlikely that public hear
ings will be resumed until the present
accumulation of work is cleared
away.
