only homes available. Being less than
the number needed to provide every

situation created makes for high rent
ais, or protiteering, if one wishes to use
the term.
Rent Laws Were Justified
There was justification for the rent
gouging laws when they were passed,
but it is his opinion, MIR. Hall said.
that the emergency has passed. Al
though the absence of legislative pro-
lection would have brought great hard
ships TO many families, Mr.. Hall main
tains that if the passage Of the laws
had been deferred another six or eight
months the need for them would have
passed or the situation would have
been so improved that there would be
little pressure made on Albany for rent
restrictive laws.
The bait of high rentals, Mr.. Hall
pointed out, would be 50 tempting to
builders that an avalanche of fiat CON
struction would have been started in
every section of the city.
The situation after all, Mr. Hall ex-
planned, is just one of supply and de-
mand. 1t is the same in the real estate
business as in the dry goods store,
leather trade, the shipping business or
any other line of commercial enter
prise. If we look into these fields we
see what has been the result of un-
restriction.
Albany did not think there was any
need for curbng the desires of owners
of office buildings and loft structures.
Business could afford high rent traf

duced construction. Builders came into
the field, and in two years produced so

Praise for Tenants
Mr. Hall said he had no complaint
to make against tenants. In many
cases he found that they were fair
when matters were explained to them.
The buildcr-owner said he took pride
N the fact that of the 700 tenants in
his houses only eleven seemed deter
mined to have their disputes brought
INTO court.

are practically the same as those for

cause Of the difference in the cost of
maintaining property then and now
landlords have lost money on long

higher rentals have been lost for the
period, bu, on the actual expenses Of
running the property.
The housing situation is Just as
serious now as it ever was, Mr.. Hall
said. and it Will remain serious until
additional housing is provided. That
IS not being done. Mr.. Hall said, be-
cause of the restrictions which have
been placed on income to be derived
from property.
The Supreme Court and the state
legislature hold the solution of the
housing problem of New York. If the
court would say what is reasonable
rental, and the Legislature repeal or
allow to become imperative restrictive

housing situation in New York very
much. The facti that the emergency

will prolong the solution if the Le-is-

Mr.. Hall compared the situation. TO

intense pain in the dentists chair" he
said, "and the trouble would be all
over, but no, they prefer to suffer.
New York will suffer from a shortage
OF homes just so. long as the rent laws
remain operative"
Reverse Conditions in Two Years
Though some exports hold that it
would take five years at least, to pro-
vide New York With homes, it's the
opinion Of Mr.. Halt, who has been in
the building field for twenty-si Years
and built many of the largest and
finest structures in the upper West
Side, one year and half would be ali
the time needed to reverse conditions.
There is capital and labor enough
to do the job as speedily as I say"
said Mr.. Hall, IF the restrictions were
swept away Capital is not entering

is limited"
While awaiting for the coming of
