Roosevelt Signs
Bill 10 Amend
D. {. Rent Act
Homes Permitted
To Take as Many
As Four Roomers

President Roosevelt has signed the
bill amending the District Emer-
gency Rent Act which will permit
Washington home owners to take in
as many as four roomers without
coming under the restrictions of the
present rent act, the While House
announced today.
This was one of three District bills
receiving the Presidents signature
and has been hailed as an important
measure toward relieving the citys
acute housing shortage.
Also signed was an act increasing
the penalty for indecent exposure
cases, permitting Municipal Court
judges to impose Jail sentences for
the first offense.
The Districts present indecent ex-
posure law is so years old and pro-
vides a maximum penalty of $3.50.
Persons convicted of the crime have
only been Jailed for failure to pay the
fine. Under the new BILL a 90-day
jail sentence for each violation is
provided. The maximum fine re-
mains $3.50.
Householders have been reluctant
to rent their rooms in many cases,
District officials point out, because
under the present rent act they
could not evict person found un-
desirable. With the new law, own
ers may rent rooms for as many as
four persons without coming under
the provisions. This includes the
right Of eviction in certain cases.
The third bill signed by the Presi-
dent amends the District act regulat-
ing the practice of the healing art.
1t provides for an annual registra-
ton of such practitioners, and the
fees paid will be turned over to the
Commission of Licensure for its op-
Grafton.
