tConClnued FROM Page Abb
administrator OF housing rentals
for Canada twice came here with
members of his staff to confer with
Mr.. Cogswell.
Rooming House Data.
Because of conflicting statements
by tenants and landlords regarding
rents charged and services rendered
on January l, 194l, the date for
rent freezing" 1t was found ne
ceSSary to obtain statistical data
from every rooming and boarding
house proprietor in the District.
AS result, Mr. Cogswell said, his
office has in it's files reports of
every detail of operation OF board
ing and rooming houses having ac-
commodations for three or more
persons.
Data now on file concerns 8,710
rooming and boarding houses. In
addition, the file includes data on
785 apartment houses in the District,
and information as to all premises
involved in rent disputes. Also in
the files are descriptive information
furnished by the various agencies,
including the Washington Real
Estate Board, Hotel Association,
Washington Housing Association. the
Health Department, the District
Building Inspection Department and
others. The file, Mr.. Cogswell said,
contains some 10000 items.
In order to prevent sudden and
unjustified evictions, reductions in
service, withholding of service or
wrongful seizure of apparel. he re-
Quired last February 13 that pro-
prietors or managers Of rooming and
boarding houses give five full days
notice In writing to the administra-
tor before taking action against
tenants. Mr.. Cogswell thereafter
received and handled $3.50 such
notices. 65 per cent Of which were
for failure to pay rent and the
remainder for various complaints.
Number Of Suits Filed.
Acting for the administrator.
Ernest F. Henry. general counsel,
/ filed number OF suits In Municipal
Court on behalf Of tenants alleging
violations of the law and was s,ls-
tanned in all of them. Forty cases
involving violations Of the District
code were referred to the health,
building or fire marshals ONCE for
action.
The ONCE, he added, has CO.
operated closely with the Police De-
partment in matters requiring police
investigation. and number of cases
involving alleged subversive activi-
ties were referred to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
The Public Relations Branch,
headed by Charles Stofberg, with
Robert T. Smith. jr., as legal assist
ant, handled 10,577 informal COM
plants made by personal calls, and
7,483 telephone complaints. Adjust
ments in these cases, Mr.. Cogswell
said, resulted in savings to tenants
