THE HOUSING SHORTAGE

In most of the large cities of
the country the housing shortage
is not nearly as acute as it was
but the decision of the federal SUI
preme court sustaining New York
and District of Columbia laws for
the protection of tenants against
grasping landlords appears to
open the way for other states to
enact such legislation If they
wish.
Housing is a necessary OF
life" says the majority opinion OF
the court. If for one purpose the
height of buildings can be con-
trolled by law. for another good
purpose rent may be limited. "A
public exigency will justify the
legislature in restricting property
rights in land to certain extent
without compensation"

those who sought TO set aside the
laws of New York and the Dis
trict because such laws constitute
ed an unjust interference in pri-
sate property rights. 1t challenges
the rather eNtravagant position OF
the courts minority that such leg
islation struck at the very root
of our civilization"
1t is encouraging to find the
highest court in the nation taking
the position that housing is a
necessary of life" and hence
comes properly within the law
making powers to protect. Land
lords who play square have moth
ing to fear in it, On the other
hand, landlords who have taken
advantage of serious world
