Few East Side
Tenants Kick"
Against Owners
Of Several Hundred Re
queals for Complaints,
Decentralization Is Most
Serious Of 35 Received

There may be grounds for animosity
between landlord and tenant, but such
feeling is not general. There are ten
ants on the East Side who think well
of their landlords, and, in turn, the
landlord5 are not embittered toward
their tenants. Douglas l.. Gilman &
Co. have prided themselves for years
on keeping tenants happy in the build
lngs in their charge Fearing that
there might be grounds for comp aint,
that through an oversight 3 tenant had
just grievance against them or the
owners OF apartment houses under
several hundred dweiers in the East
side apartment section which read:
ave invite you to send us any help
<ul suggestions you may have to offer
which might improve the service in
The building or add to your comfort
n your own apartment"
Only 35 Suggestions Received
Within few days thirty-fve an
were of Il nature that might be termed
serious. The other thirty were com
plants of q minor nature.
One complaint, for instance, was that
the hall man does not have polished
noes. Another suggested that the
shaft be painted white to increase the
i5ht in the bathrooms. Shift in serv-
ice was complained of by another ten
ant, not knowing that the labor laws
provided that persons in this class of
ampioyment be given so many hours
off.
I'VE are very we'll pleased with
everything except the decorations,
which | hope you will do in the spring,
as you promised to do" said another
complaint.
trsoience Most Serious Charge
The most serious of the thirty-fiye
complaints were charges of insubordi-
nation by the house help. In every
complaint received the writer explained
that he was well satisfied with every
thing but that which he had com.
plained of. No mention was made of
the increased rental. .,
Mr.. Gilman expressed qualification
at the low number of kicks" and the
character of the charges that were
made. I'VE asked" he said, Chat COM
