In commenting on the rent and in
come schedule, Chairman Breen
pointed out that it was a departure
from the Schedule now in effect at Old
Harbor Village, which was built by the
Federal Government under the P.W.A.
Housing Division, as distinguished
rom the present four projects which
we're built by the Boston Housing
Authority under the United States
Authority.
In the new rental schedule, Mr..
Breen pointed out that in each apart
ment-size group, three grades of rent
had been set up, so that families hav-
ing different incomes, but requiring
the same space accommodations,
would have rentals in harmony with
their rent-paying ability. For exam
pie, a three-room apartment may be
obtained for S1400, $17.00, or $21OO,
dependent on the income of the
family. The highest annual income
for family living in a three-room
apartment will be $1,050.00, or ap-
proximately S2019 a week.
The same grading of both rents and
incomes has been carried out in the
rent and income allowance for the
other sized apartments, as follows:
-Four rooms may be had at $500,
$500 and $23.00, with the highest
income allowed $1,366.00, or approx
mately $26.26 a week. In the five
room group the rents have been set
at $1,000, $1,000 and $24.00, with the
highest income allowed $1,478.00 a
year, or approximately $28.42 a week.
In the largest size apartment, which
is six rooms and is comprised of a
living room, four bedrooms, kitchen
and bath, the rents have been set at
S1700, $4,000 and $500, with the
highest income allowed being 81, 400.
or approximately S28.65 a week.
All of the rents are "gross rents"
