RENTSCUT1N
LARGEST LIST
Of DECISIONS
Real Estate Broker Gets Re-
duction-Six Other Claims
Are Granted.

Broker against broker in a rent
case figured prominently In a sheaf
of decisions handed down today by
the District rent commission--one
of the largest patches Of rent re-
ductions made in the history OF the
official rent fixers.
This particular case concerned
r. c. Rowzee. local real estate
man. who is the tenant of the
house at 1871 Columbia road. He
filed a complaint against Stone &
Fairfax, Inc. agents, asking the
commission to lower his rent.
The Commission did so today, re.
ducing 1t from $3.50 month to
500. The board also cut the stated
valuation Of the property from ST..
500 to sl3.500.
Another determination showed
the right of the commission to
stand by former determination.
This was the case of David ID.
Bowen, owner of the Danford Apart
ments, 1929 Harvard street north
west, against number of his
tenants.
The commission fixed rents in the
apartment house in 1920, and at
the hearing the landlord admitted,
under questioning by Chairman A.
Left wich Sinclair, that he had sent
letter to the rent judges telling
them that II was useless for prop
erty owners to expect justice" at
the hands OF the commission. The
landlord further reminded the com.
mission in his letter that America
was democratic. and that its people
were not living under a socialistiC
regime.
Lester V. Appleman and Andrew
VI. FetZer. tenants. refused to pay
an increase in their rentals, which
later was demanded, and the Dan.
ford case was again brought before
the commission. which today dis
missed the complaint of the landlord,
holding that the rentals fixed in 1920
were fair and reasonable.
Other cases were: Corrie Bolton
against Francis A. Blundon Com.

", R, T, SEEKS
To HAVE PAVING
TAX XCANCELED.
Company Sues D. c. Commits
sioners, Alleging It Is
Not Liable.

The Washington Railway and
Electric Company today brought
suit, through Attorney w. c. Sulli-
van, against the Commissioners OF
the District, to cancel an assess
ment under the Borland amendment
for paving Benning road. This is
the second suit Of the kind recently
brought, Mt. Olivet Cemetery having
filed a similar suit several weeks
ago in connection with the paving Of
Bladensburg road.
The railway company claims re-
lief on the ground that the Com.
missioners paved Benning road
without any authority to do so; that
Benning road was neither COM
pletely resurfaced nor resurfaoed be-
tween the side thereof and the center
thereof; that the Borland amend
ment applies only to streets in a
city or village, and Benning road is
in a rural section of the District;
that the Borland amendments do
not apply to railroad rights Of way,
particularly to such as that Of the
company, which il is required by
law to convey to the District of CO.
lumbia when Benning road shall be
widened to a width of ninety feet;
that the Borland amendment can.
in any event, apply only TO the ex-
tent of Increased value actually
given by reason Of the paving for
which the assessment is made, and
the company's particular right Of
way involved in the suit was not
increased in value at all. and that
no charge can be made against the
company for paving outside Of its
own tracks except for two feet on
each side thereof.
