members of the District Rent
Commission will hold confer
ence today to decide q course Of
action relative to the unfavorable
decision rendered by Judge Nee
han in the Municipal Court yes

Judge Meehan announced he
would allow District landlords to
bring common law action of evic-
ton to recover possession of prop
critics unless the tenant can prove

Ruling in Eviction Case.
The ruling was made by Judge
Meehan in an eviction proceeding
brought by Morris Baslkin. owner Of
the Lonsdale apartments; to ~
cover possession OF the apartment
occupied by Mrs. Mary A. Corcoran..
Reason for today's anxiety on the
part Of the Rent Commissioners IL
that unless Mrs. Corcoran can prove
the emergency does exist, the de-
cision will open the Municipal Court
to all landlords, making it possible
for them to evict their tenants
without waiting for the outcome Of
the emergency investigation now
pending before Justice Stafford in
