Rent Lalu Extension
Bills Due First of M0ntI,
From a sto0 Correspondent

ALBANY, Jan 17..-The Lockwood
committees legislative program, com
prising in all about twenty-five bills,
will be ready for introduction during
the first week of February. Its main
features will be demands for the ex-
tension of the rent laws and also re-
quests that the life of the committee
be extended another year
1t has not as yet been determined
how long period the proposed rent
law extension is to cover. 1t may be
for one or perhaps for two years.
Legislative leaders declined to discuss
to-day a report that civil war is going
on within the Lockwood committee be-
cause certain of its members claim they
are not being sufficiently consulted.
The report has it that some of the
members arc peeved at Samuel Un-
termycr. who, as counsel for the com
mittee, is giving his services without
charge. Legislative leaders, both
Democratic and Republican,, favor cx-
tending the life of the Lockwood COM
mlttec and the rent laws as we'll. Sena-
tor James J. Walker, minority leader
VIII DO all he can to further this legis-
lation.
With reference to the present rent
laws. an amendment will be asked to
provide method of determining a fair
AND reasonable rent. Also any legisla-
tion tending to do away with the CON
gested condition of New York City
courts in landlord and tenant cases
will be supported. All bills tending to
increase taxation on real estate, or
otherwise adding to the burden of
property ownership. will be opposed
Any further exemption of any class of
real estate from taxation will be vigor-
ously opposed, and it is expected that
a campaign will be started to do away
with all exemptions of real estate from
taxation
