MONTHLY TENANTS,
HAVE so DAY GRACE
Decision for Kings, Queens and
Richmond Against
Landlords.

Landlords in those parts of long
Island and Richmond covered by the
new rent laws must give thirty day
notice of the expira ton of month to
month tenancy. 1t was decided yester-
day by the Appellate Division in Brook
iteers in municipal court in The Bronx.
In the Second Department opinion by
Justice Charles Kelby. concurred in by
Justices Cropsey and Lazanslxy. 1t was
for the use and occupancy of the prem
ises unless thirty day notice has been
given. This also applies to rent in
creases.
The Appellate Division of the First
Department recently held that the
month to monta tenant shall continue
to pay the same rental for the occu-
pancy of the premises unless the thirty
day notice has been given for the
change in rent or the notice to termi-
nate the occupancy.
The Second Department case was
taken before the Appellate Division on
an appeal by Richmond Weed of Cor
don, Weed &c Young of 154 Nassa u
street, to recover 1921 from Matthew
w. Carswell, Weeds tenant at 81 San
ford avenue. Flushing.
Bronx landlords are increasing rents
wherever possible, according to Judge
Peter A. Shiel. sitting in the First Dis
trict Municipal Court in The Bronx. 1t
was stated that more than 1900 rent
actions had been disposed of in 1921 in
that borough with rentals aggregating
moro than 100000. Stringent legis-
lation and immediate action were urged
by Judges In the First and Second dis
trict courts in rent actions, and it was
said that unless these measures be taken
there will be no downward trend for
six months or a year.
When the Lockwood committee goes
to investigate conditions in The Bronx
it will be shown that although tax ex-
cmpt buildings to the value of s72.150.-
T3S were erected in the borough last
year the tenants are paying higher
rents Several of the judges, however.
agreed that the landlords were con-
fronted with the outlook of a high peak
in building prices and could not make
much profit on their Investment if they
reduced rents. Nevertheless they urged
rigid investigation and immediate legis-
lation to restrain landlords from charg-
ing excessive rents.

COASTER DROWNED,
PLAYMATE SAVED
Ice Gives Way When Sled Runs
From Hill Onto Staten
Island Creek.

While Carl Kennetty, aged IA. high
school boy Of 166 Burke avenue, Limo
leumville, Staten Island, and his COM
panion, Norman Marlborough. aged 10,
of 1875 Burke avenue, were coasting
across Simmons Creek at Linoleumvllle
yesterday. the ice gave way under their
Sled plunging both into the water. Ken
netty was drowned.
William Barborough. aged IL, a
brother Of Norman, was skating in the
vicinity when he heard a crash and
turned to see his brother and the Ken
netty boy struggling in the water. try
ing vainly to draw themselves to the
surface by grabbing the thin ice that
fringed the hole their sled had made
The ice gave way each time their
weight was thrown upon 1t and both
appeared in danger Of drowning when
William Marlborough, unmindful of his
own danger. skated to the edge of the
hole, as the ice cracked and sagged,
seized his brothers coat collar and drew
him through the hole to safety.
Before attempting to give his brother
first aid, Marborugh skated back to the
hole and made an effort to rescue Ken
netty. Kennetty, exhausted, was going
side and got hold on one Of his trouser
legs. The rescuer began to tug, but the
ice started to give under the added
weight and young Marlborough had to
release his hold and flee for his own
life.
Since the snowfall of few days ago
boys and girls have been starting their
sleds at the summit of a hill and gliding
across the ice to the other side of the
creek. The Ice had thawed slightly and
when Kennetty and Marlborough at
tempted to coast across 1t tandem 1t
gave way near midstream.
Seventy-five boys and girls, most OF
them school children, were skating on
the creek at the time and looked on as
their companion drowned, powerless to
give assistance. One boy ran for a
policeman when he saw Marlborough
abandon his efforts to save the life OF
the Kennetty boy. but when the police
man reached the creek the boy had dis
appeared. Harbor police recovered the
body with graphing hooks later after
breaking up the ice.
