You see, Plum Hollow members
had heard about Demarets appli-

They expected Helferich to pro-

the walters in the New York
night clubs that are Mr.. Deglin's
habitat in normal times. They
do not realize that Mr.. Deglin is
taking on his rodeo mood.
He is the publicity director of
Madison Square Garden where
the worlds championship rodeo
is held every year, and the mood
is necessary to bring out Mr..
Deglin's best efforts in calling
public attention to this affair.
We suspect that the title OF

The cause of this situation is housing shortage not
only in Detroit but in the outlying communities OF the
county.
In most cases the evictions being sought not
because of failure of tenants pay rent but because land
lords want their property vacant so they may greatly
increase their rentals
Against such action the tenant has little recourse
Because his own rent actually being raised ne can
not appeal to the Common Councils rent mediation

The landlord merely refuses to accept his money he
