Property of close to 100000 people
would be subject to regulation under
the proposed rent control bill intro
duced by Representative Randolph,
chairman of the House District Com
mittee. Every owner of an apart
ment, a hotel.-a four-family fiat, a
house not oWner-occupied, any one
who rents out a single room, all will
come under the jurisdiction OF a
rent commission with power to COM
pei the registration of each rental
unit, to fix the maximum rent to be
charged, the minimum service to be
rendered and the exact wording OF
the lease to be agreed upon.
1t is of vital interest to every
owner-not merely those in the real
estate buSineSS-to know something
about this proposed law. Sooner or
later every property will be affected
by it.
This bill differs from any rental
control bills enacted during the last
war. All such laws had a terminal
date, none was permanent legisla-
ton. The Randolph bill would give
O rent commission power to set rents
and services for all rental properties
which are used for housing. The
bill assumes in its preamble that a
housing emergency exists today
and, further. that such an assumed
emergency will continue indefinitely
Need of Housing.
There is nothing new about rent
control legislation. During World
War Congress passed the Sauls-
bury resolution on May 81, 1918.
This merely froZe rents. The Ball
rent law, which set up a rent COM
mission, was enacted October %,
1919. After three extensions, it
lapsed on May %, 1925, having been
held unconstitutional few months
before, the court holding that a
housing emergency no longer
existed. Rents were controlled in
New York, Wisconsin and Denver.
Many States and cities passed legis-
lation aimed to stop evictions and
other hardships. Some set up vol
untary committees in an effort to
prevent profiteering.
Whatever may be the merit of
such legislation, it does not go to
the heart of the problem that is
said to exist: The need of housing
The only way to solve this is to
use more fully the available houses
and apartments and to build new
ones.
The National Defense Advisory
Commission we'll recognizes this in
its report on maintenance of fair
rents during the emergency. Here
is a quotation from the summary
of that report:
The Consumer Division of the
National Defense Advisory Com
mission is not recommending a
general policy of rent control. Rent
control is recognized as undesir-
able from the point of view of both
landlord and tenant, and
should therefore be resorted to
only when new construction is not
sufficiently rapid and extensive to
meet the need and where local
communities can find no other
means to check a disastrous rise
in rents. More efficient use of ex-
listing housing facilities, consistent
with the maintenance of standards,
and improvement of transportation
to extend the committing area with
in which available housing may be
used should be undertaken before
resorting to regulation Even where
some measures to maintain fair
rents are necessary, cooperation

Planning the Living Room

With the building of garages ad-
jacent to principal or side entrances,
living rooms may now be planned
to profit by view and with a thought
to sun exposure. Many living rooms
are now being planned in the back
of the house, giving direct access
to a terrace, patio, garden or an
attractive lawn Walls or hedges
may separate the service yards from
the play yards.

these residents have left town and
they are being acquainted with the
need of getting their contributions
to U. S. o. headquarters before
July II.
U. S. o. headquarters explained
yesterday that the pressure under
which the campaign was organized
here mad left some Of the impor-
tant units handicapped in person.
mel Residents were urged not to
wait to be asked for their gifts. but
to send their contributions directly
to campaign headquarters.
Gifts are already coming in, it was
reported, from the coupons pub
lished in The Star. These coupons
may be filled out by readers and sent
in with contributions to u. S. O.
