SENATE CONTINUES
HEARINGS ON BALL
RENTLEGlSLATION
Cooperative Owners Say
Plan Meets With Pub
lie Approval.

Senator Ball was unable wednes-
day to complete hearings on the
bill to prolong the rent law two
years from next October, and the
District committee OF the senate
will meet again at 10 o'clock this
morning. Purchasers and sellers on
the cooperative plan are being
heard. several testifying during the
session yesterday morning.
Louis X. Valentine, Edmond
Murphy and Mabel A. Butler will
be among the f1rst witnesses today.
They are to explain the circum-
stances under which they pur-
chased apartments. John L. Smith,
Mrs. II. II. Lee. b. F. Saul. James
l.. karrick and other owners will
testify.
William F. Browning, OF a local
real estate firm, said the statement
attributed to District Commissioner
James +. Oyster, former rent COM
missioner, that the cooperative
plan was a fake to get higher
prices and rents, could not have
emanated from an unprejudiced
mind.
Opposes Continuance.
William Z. Richardson, a seller
OF apartments on this plan. said II
should be encouraged rather than
discouraged. Judge Isaac Gates,
who has made a sale on this plan,
gave II his Endorsement. Edwin A.
Krauthoff concluded his testimony,
which was begun yesterday. He
declared that conditions here did
not warrant the continuance of the
Ball rent act.
Mrs. p. L. Moreheld. Mrs. A. Hart
and Charles Dabis, all tenants,
urged continuance of the law as
protection to tenants, citing expert
ences TO show that they had been
unfairly treated at the hands OF
landlords. Mrs. Moreheld said the
apartment she rented at $55 had
been twice raised and she Is now
paying $40. She said when she ap-
pealed to the rent commission she
was notified to move. The COM
mission fixed the rent at $3.50.
Mrs. Hart said she is paying $50
a month on a house that originally
rented for SEQ. She said her hus-
band is employed by the govern
ment at $1,000 a year and they have
six children, the eldest is.
Eleven apartment houses have
been put on sale by his firm since
March, 1920. under the cooperative
plan, said Morrison. and 355 apart
ments sold at a total of 31.S5o.0 600.
He said the average proft has not
been above 10 per cent. He urged
that recognition be given the plan.
In some cases he said there were
losses.
Senator Ball told the witnesses
that II apartment house owners had
not received a fair return on their
investment II was their own fault.
as they could have appealed to the
rent commission. In answer to Sem
ator Jones. who asked IL he would
rather have vacant apartments than
rent them. a witness said he could
not afford TO rent for less.

Opinion of Visitor.
The visitor also expressed the
opinion that in a great many in
stances in the west the failure OF

the comfort and purse of its patrons
has led many a man to purchase a

would have considered his salary

The one hope for Washington lies
in a merger of the two traction
