LANDLORD TO TEST
RENT BASIS RULING
Appeal to Determine Whether
Market Value or Invest
ment Shall Govern.
LAWS INTENT SOUGHT
Case Goes to Appellate Div
ision Of Supreme Court,
First Department.
LAWS INTENT SOUGHT

The much debated question now in the
minds Of all the city's landlords and ten
ants-whether rentals are t.. be based on
the owners actual cash investment in
building or upon the present market
value of the property as determined
from the testimony of real estate ex-
perts--is to be decided by the Appellate
Division Of the Supreme Court. First De-
partmcnt.
The Appellate Term Of the First De-
partment. in which Supreme Court Jus
tices Guy, Blur and McCools are sitting
at present, gave permission yesterday
for test case to be taken to the higher
court on appeal from the terms decision
some time ago that actual investment
should be the base for rental charges.
In that case DR.. Leon Sidney Moos OF
e25 West Ninety-eighth street was sued
by the A. c. & H. M. Hall Realty Com
pany. owners Of the apartment building
at that address. because he would not
meet demanded advance in rent
Louis w. 'Stotesbury, counsel for the
realty company, based his request for
permission to appeal from TIE TERMS ad-
verse decision on the contention which
has been upheld by the Appellate Term
In Brooklyn--that rental charges ought
to be based on market values--which
was the alleged basis followed by his
client In raising the physician's rent.
The Brooklyn decision aroused fresh
litigation as much as 1t settled cases.
Numbers of landlords who had been
basing their rents so as to give them
a reasonable return" on their invest
ment suddenly jumped rents to yield
10 per cent. return on what they
alleged was the market value Of their
property. Samuel Untermyer attacked
the ruling In a long statement and
urged that the Lockwood committee.
Of which he is counsel. and the New
York Real Estate Board OF Brokers
agree to press test case through the
Appellate Division in Brooklyn and If
necessary on to the Court OF Appeals.
The action Of the Appellate Term in
Manhattan, however. may render such
action in the second department un-
necessary.
The opinion which the appellant
realty company objects to was written
the basing on present value OF prop
erty would be to justify extortionate
demands on the part Of landlords by
proof that the extortionate demands had
resulted in an increase of market value
for similar property.
1T was clearly the intent OF the.
Legislature the decision continues.
that a landlord should be restricted to
such rentals as would yield not rea-
sonable income on values created by
profiteering methods. nut reasonable
income on his investment

HOME GROWN POTATO
PLANTS AGAINST FOREIGN

Newberry, S. c., May so, 1921.
Mr Editor:
Just now while the growing OF
sweet potatoes is receiving consider
able attention there is one question
that should be settled for it is very
important one. The question is one
affecting the yield of home grown
plants as against the yield of Georgis
and Florida plants. If Georgia anc
Florida plants will yield as large 8
crop of potatoes at digging time a!
home grown plants, then in the future
let us order these plants altogether
for they can be had at a lower price
because produced on a larger scale
But # home grown plants will give
larger yield, (note that l say larger
yield) then it must be manifest tc
every one that it will pay better tc
set out more home grown plants, even
at higher price per thousand. II
would seem to be poor economy tc
save 25 or so cents on thousanc
plants and lose several bushels Of po,
tatoes in yield, or production.
Now let's do some experimenting
with this years crop that will be
helpful to US next year and in years
to come if we would raise potatoes te
best advantage for our own use anc
Cor the market. 1 will furnish free OF
charge one thousand home grown po
tato plants to one farmer in each
township in Newberry county, provid'
ed he will also plant one thousand
Georgia or Florida plants and give
impartial attention to both as to soil
fertilizer, cultivation, etc, and repor'
the yield next fall to the county dem
onstration agent, Mr.. T. M Mills.
I understand the chamber of scom-
merce is handling Georgia plants anc
any farmer wishing to make this ex
pertinent may secure his out CT tht
state plants from this source. Per
haDs the chamber of commerce woul(
0e willing to furnish these plants
free in order to encourage this ex
pertinent for the benefit of the pota
to growers of this county.
