HEAT LEGISLATION

Commissioners Reject Plan
to Put Responsibility
on Landlords.

Proposed legislation to make own |
ers, landlords or their agents respon-
sible for furnishing adequate heat for

day by the District Commissioners.
An unfavorable report on bill in

pm, when contracts were made call
ing for furnishing Of heated quarters.
Bride reported to the Commission
erS:
mo doubt such a measure may be
within the police power, and while
there may be some cases where per-
sons suffer from lack of heat, such
a measure would be hard to enforce
and would give rise to litigation Oft
times instituted through malice. AS
the matter now stands. there Is civil
liability on the part of the landlord
to furnish heat where he has con-
10 hn fo
ant may vacate and move to another
habtation, where a more willing
landlord will furnish sufficient heat,
and the tenant may avoid liability
for rent at the former premises on
the theory Of constructive eviction
There again the same degree OF proof
is not required in a civil case as in
criminal ofIense, and it is believed
there is no real or urgent need for
a measure of this kind at this time"
'Need Is Urgent"
Health Officer Fowler wrote:
The need for the proposed legls-
! lation is somewhat urgent. Com
paints are quite often made to the
| health department of a lack OF heat
| in certain buildings and rooms that
have been rented or leased by occu-
pants with the understanding that
heat would be furnished. While the
| health department has been fortun-
ate III most instances in persuading
the responsible person to furnish
heat. there should be some authority
/ to compel person to furnish the re-
quired heat in event of their refusal
/ to do so.
Some of the apartments or rooms
from which complaint is received OF
the absence of heat are occupied by
sick or feeble persons who require
heat for their comfort and well be-
ing. 1 am of the opinion that the
legislation proposed is needed and II
the bill IN question Is enacted into
law will accomplish much good"

 Some Sidelights
 Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 7-(UP)- No election is without its unusual and interesting sidelights.
 Don Fraser, rapid sketch artist and ventriloquist, who campaigned with his dummy Elmer" in be- half of the republican administra- ton, was elected to the state house of representatives by four votes at Salem.
 Fraser plans to bring Elmer to Hartford to entertain the lawmak- CTS during the none too frequent calms that occur during the ses- sions of the house.
 In the small town of Bozrah, Theodore S. Abel, dem.. defeated William V. Kane, repn., for a seat in the general assembly. It was the first time either candidate had tried for public office.
 In gaining control of all elective offices the democrats held power over the influential board of f. nance and control. Its chairman, Edward F. Hall, may go out after his term expires next year and the same goes for Insurance Commis- sioner Howard P. Durham.
 The control board has the say-so over appropriations and state spending and during the past fAur years of Gov. Cross rule 1t has been a thorn in the side of his party.
