SUGGESTS DELAY
ON BALL MEASURE
Housing Expert Would Hold
Up Extension Until Com
mittee Reports.

The first act Of the housing commit
tee appointed by the Commissioners
should be to request Senator Ball to
postpone action on the bill to extend
the life OF the rent commission. in
the opinion OF cIenry Brigham, hous-
ing expert of Boston. :.
Mr.. Brigham, who has been made a
member of the Washington commit
tee, voiced this belief in letter sent
today to Mrs. Eli Helmick, chairman
of the committee.
~T believe" wrote Mr.. Brigham,
that your committee should ask Sen
ator Ball to postpone action on his
bill for the extension Of the Ball act
until after your committee has had
an opportunity to study the situation
and to report. ,
Would Await Report.
IF the act should be now extended
and your committee should later find
that it is a serious handicap, rather
than an aid to the solution Of the
problem, your work would lie wasted,
whereas. If your committee should
find its extension advisable, your re-
port might be a valuable assistance
in securing it's enactmen:
The question of wide Ming Of the
Ball act to include business proper
ties may not come before Your COM
i3ittee, but ! cennot see how il can
POSSIBLY be constitutional in the light
of the recent opinion of .he United
States Supreme Curt on the New
York rent laws.
Il also. believe. as said this morn

sion, giving in more or less detail the
number and nature OF cases handled,
the nature of the decisions rendered.
the methods of handling the various
problems and the facts considered and
Investigated In the hearings upon
which the decisions are based, is Of
vital Importance in getting a true
conception of the situation here and
Of the value of the work of the rent
commission. Such a report should
show the number of cases settled, the
number where increases were allowed,
the percentage of increase allowed,
the number where reductions were
ordered, and all statistics of interest

Will Address City Club.
Mr.. Brigham left the city today, but

Housing Situation in America"
