MOVE MADE To
!. HAVE TENANTS
PUT Up BONDS
Cong. MiIIspaugh Wants Land
lords Protected In
Appeal Cases.
An effort to require tenants TO put

An effort TO require tenants TO put
up bonds covering the proposed
amount OF rent increase in the case of
an appeal by landlords from the de-
cisions of the Rent Commission, was
made today by Congressman Mills
paugh during the course OF the Con-
gressional hearing on the District
rent bill.
Congressman Ailllspaugh presented
for inclusion in the Ball rent act a
resolution providing that. in a case
OF an appeal to the Court of Appels
by the landlord or owner, the tenant
should be required to put up suffi-
cient bond to cover the difference
between the former rent rate and the
increased rate sought in the appeal.
For example, II the Rent Commits
sion fixes $75 a month as a fair
rental for an apartment and the
landlord appeals from the decision,
seeking to obtain 500 a month. the
.enant will be required to put up~a
bond OF $26 a month for each month
elapsing pending the decision of the
Court Of Appeals.
The District Rent Commission
was again put under fire by the
House Committee, with A. Leftwich
Sinclair. chairman, on the stand.
Mr.. Sinclair made a vain effort to
keep Congressman Millspaugh from
reading into the record a decision Of
the Rent Commission in the Mon
mouth apartment case, in which the
Congressman claimed the commits
sion did not grant a fair and i'm.
partial trial, showing discrimination
In favor of the landlords.
