RENT BOARD IS
WINDING UP
AFFAIRS
Commissioners Will Stick to
Duties Until Expiration Of
Law, May 20

It's days numbered by, the failure
OF Congress to pass rent legislation
recommended by. President Coolidge,
the District Rent Commission today
proceeded toward wind-up Of its
affairs.
Operating under the old act Of
Congress, the commissions life
ceases on May 20. Until that time,
the commissioners and the few re-
naming members of the clerical
force will continue to transact such
business as has not been abridged
by court decisions.
= AS far as could be determined to-
day, none of the commissioners in
tend to resign before their terms
expire. They hold the view that
such action would be. in effect, an
obituary notice before the actual
demise.
The business of the commission
consists largely Of regulation OF
the refund feature OF the existing
law, which compels landlords who
have refused to abide by decisions
reducing rents to return to the
tenants affected the amount Of
overcharge. and to deposit a SINH
lar amount as penalty to the cred.
1t of the District government.
This feature is the subject OF
litigation at present. and the COM
feel it is their duty to
watch developments closely, in or
der to enforce the rent law to the
last day of it's life.
Commissioners Oliver MetZerott
and William +. GUIDE said today
that work will continue practically
the same as is has for several
months past. They had no state
ment tS make on the legislative
side of the rent situation.
