erty owners to refund the amount Of

approved by the District Rent Com
mission. as provided in the re-enacted
Ball rent act, members Of the com
mission last night expressed the
opinion that the attorney for the COM

ton Of all delinquent owners, will be

commission was approved by the Presi-
dent on August 24-which bill pro-
vided for the appointment OF an at
torney to the ccmmission-no action
on this appointment has been taken
by the commission.
Many Cases Settled.
The excessive rents which owners
are required to refund by today. are
the amounts in excess Of the rentals
approved by the rent commission
charged by some landlords after the
decision Of the District Supreme Court
that the commission was unconstitu-
tional, which decision was later re-
versed by the United States Supreme
Court making the commissions find
ings legal. although the owners did
not comply with them.
More than $50 cases OF excessive
rent charges were before the com
mission at the time OF the Unite,
States Supreme Court decision. and
number have since been added. Will
the re-enactment of the rent act. anc
the provision granting the owners
thirty days to make refunds TO theii
tenants. most OF those cases have beer
settled.
Refund Money TO Tenants.
A number of the cases now fefor'
the commission still remain unsettled
and it is expected that many more
cases will be reported in the neal
future. and unless these cases are
settled today. the owners will be liablC
to an assessment of double the amount
of the excess rent and an additions
charge OF $50 attorney fees and the
costs of prosecution.
The actual amount of the excess
rent will be returned to the tenant
while the other half will be place
in the United States Treasury.
