|COURT SETS ASIDE
RENT BOARD RULING
Decision on rs Apartments
in Monmouth Unfair,
Says Justice.

The District Court of Appeals. in
an opinion by Justice Van Orsdel to-
day, set aside a decision OF the Rent
Commission fixing rentals for seven
ty-six apartments in the Monmouth
Apartment House. The Appellate
Court finds that the real value of the
property is between 100000 and
3650.0o0. and that the commissions
valuation of s450.o00 is wholly un-
supported by any competent evil
dence"
Counsel for the Rent Commission
stressed the view of the value of the
land by the commission in arriving
at the valuation. The inspection by
the commission amounts to nothing.
the court declares, as that body is
not board of appraisers, an arbi-
tration board nor board for the
1t Is rate-fxing body with quasi
judicial powers to fix rental rates
based upon the present value of the
premises.
The court points out that the
statute provides that a hearing be
accorded the parties, at which evil
dence may be submitted as to the
present value of the property and
other matters of fact essential to en-
able the commission to make a just
and equitable finding. What the
commission did, says Justice Van
Orsdel,' after hearing extensive testi-
mony was TO view the premises and
without giving its reasons therefor.
arbitrarily fix q valuation not in ac-
cord with the evidence. The provi-
sions of the statute. providing for
notice and hearing, were totally
ignored. and the commission thereby
assumed arbitrary powers to disre-
gard the evidence, deprive the de-
fendant of due process of law and
FIX a rate upon an arbitrary valu-
alton, which is absolutely confisca-
tory when weighed In the light OF
the testimony"
Justice Van Orsdel also reversed
the decision of the rent commission
in the case of the Clifton apartment
house and ordered a rehearing In addi-
ton to the criticism of the methods of
the commission in the Monmouth case,
the court points out that instead of fix
ing the rates upon the thirteen apart
ments adjudicated with reference to
TIE value of the entire property in
tho proportion which they bear to
that. value. they were arbitrarily
fixed with reference to the rental
value of each individual apartment.

STRONGER DEFENSE
FOR CANAL NEEDED
Secretary Weeks Returns
From Inspection Tour.
Plans Improvement.

Secretary Weeks returned today to
his desk at the War Department after
an absence OF several weeks on the
inspection tour that carried him
from New York TO Porto Rico. Pan
anna and up the west coast to San
Francisco. Members of the congress
sional party accompanying him on
the trip continued either to Alaska
or to Hawaii, but Secretary Weeks
came home by train. stopping only
at Salt Lake. Omaha and Fort Leav-
enworth to look over the Army sta
tions at those places.
Whatever recommendations in con-
nection with the Improvement of the
Army stations the Secretary may de-
eide to submit to Congress as re-
suit of his personal observations will
be worked out at the War Depart
ment between now and the time the
estimates for the fiscal year 1924-25
are submitted. with the reassembling
of Congress in December.
Canal Needs Strength.
The need for improving the de-
fenses of the Panama Canal Zone
and on the Pacific coast was sharply
his trip and he said today he would
take the matter up Immediately
with the general staff. Plans will be
drawn up for submission to the joint
Army and Navy board and ultimately
to Congress.
Mr.. Weeks declared the canal zone
In need of additional anti aircraft
equipment. 16-inch guns and airplanes.
There is but one obsolete, short
range 16-inch gun now in place in
the canal batteries.
The Secretary also expressed the
opinion that additional guns up to
16-inch types should be installed at
various points on the Pacific coast. He
will make no recommendations on his
own authority, but would order the gen.
eral staff to make a study upon
which a project ultimately could be
developed.

FAV0RS u. S. FIGHT
ON C. p. A. DIPLOMAS

The District Court of Appeals. in
an opinion by Chief Justice Smyth
today, sustained the injunction grant
ed by the District Supreme Court at
the request of United States Attor-
ney Gordon against the National As
sociation of Certified Public Ac-
countants. corporation which was
said to be issuing degrees in ac-
countancy throughout the United
States without authority. The gov
ernment claimed that the right to use
the initials C. p. A was granted by
the corporation in one instance on
the unsupported statement of the ap-
plicant as to his qualifications with
out any instruction or examination
by the corporation or any of its rep
reSentatiVeS.
Persons residing in California pre-
sented an application in a fictitious
name. the opinion states. and the cer-
tificate of the corporation was issued
on the recommendation alone of per-
sons wholly unknown to the corpo-
ration During the nine months of
the corporations activity throughout
the country il issued more than
$500 certificates or diplomas at $40
each.
The decision of the appellate court
will prevent the corporation from
exercising in the future the right to
confer degrees in accountancy.

SUSTA|NS BUILDING
PERMIT FEE PLAN
Court Holds Regulations Fix
ing Cost Based on Floor
Area JuStifiabIe.

The District Court of Appeals in
an opinion by Justice Robb today sus-
tained the building regulation of the
District by which permit fees for
new buildings are based upon the
specified floor area. The validity OF
the regulation was questioned by Leo
Simmons. who had been required to
pay 5000 for a permit to erect an
apartment house. Mr. Simmons
claimed that the act of 1909 is not
building regulation. but purely a tax
levying statute. and as the taxing
power may not be delegated the
statute is invalid. The District Su-
preme Court held against his conten
tion and that finding is affirmed.
1T is a matter of common knowl-
edge" says Justice Robb that the
failure of builders in erecting struc-
lures for public use to conform to
recognized standards has often re-
suited in disaster and tragedy. To
prescribe standards without means of
enforcing compliance Herewith would
be as futile as to prohibit an act
without affixing a penalty. This act
was obviously intended not only to
authorize the issuance of permits. but
by proper supervision thereafter to
compel compliance with their terms.
The regulations in question are rea-
sonable and adapted to effect their
object. The fee demanded of plaintiff
was for a service rendered necessary
by him and primarily for his bene-
fit. The fact that the service also
was in the public interest does not
affect the character of the exaction
which was an inspection fee and not
a tax"
1t does not appear that the fee
was excessive. the court points out,
in new of the character and ex-
te7' of the service rendered.
