From the very outset the league
has never asked for a blanket 40
per cent reduction. but that per-
centsge was the highest that II
was demanding. The housing com
mittee realized that in some In
stances n just rate was being
charged. There were no attempts
being made to change these rents.
The most recent reduction re-
ported to the Office Of the league
was a case In which a tenant re-
ccived a 10 per cent decrease on
$40 a month rent. This Is only one
of the many cases that are being
tabulated by the league at It's
headquarters.
In addition to lowering the rents,
