unable to use because the furnace is useless in its present condition.
 New Haven Case
 All cases drawn up by the Water bury rent office so far had been filed in the federal district court at New ven. However, similar case, in volving heat service was recently heard in the common pleas court in New Haven, and an order was issued requiring the landlord to make re- pairs to a furnace.
 Lack of heat may Involve injury to health, the complaint states, and continuation of the heating serv- ice in accordance with rent regula. tions is necessary, in public interest, the rent officials claim
 Although several landlords have requested the rent office for esti- mates of the increase in rent they would be allowed if they made i'm provements on their property, the regular procedure is to make the ifn- provement first and then file a peti- ton for an increase in rent, MT. Secor stated. In the case involved the landlord first asked for an in- crease in rent on the condition that he would repair the furnace. Re- pair of a furnace is considered nec- essary maintenance, the rent office holds, and an increase cannot be allowed.

obtained approval of motion from Common Pleas Court Judge John T. Dwyer which orders the land lord, Jean Boucher, owner of prem ises at 36-40 Lockhart avenue, to appear in court Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock and show cause why a mandatory injunction should not be issued against him.
 Tenant Complains
 The rent administrators point out that Mrs Eva Doran, tenant and mother of small child, has com plained that the landlord has refused to repair a furnace set up to heat her tenement. They add that the landlord has admitted the need of fixing the furnace for he filed re- quest at the rent office asking how he would be allowed to increase the rent if he made the repairs.
 Heating of the premises is con- sidered regular service connected with the rental accommodations MT. Seccr states, and must be continued. The landlord is charged with violat- ing the portion of the Emergency Price Control Act which pertains to rendering of minimum services.
 George McDuff, chief of the rent office, stated that the tenant is us- ing an oil cooking stove at the pres ent time to provide heat. A portion of the tenament is closed of so that the insufficient heat could be cen- ter in one room, he said.
 Although the main charge against the landlord is failure to provide heat according to regulations, it is believed charges that he is collect ing excessive rent may be pressed also. The tenement involved has a rental fee of $33 at the present time.
 MT. McDuff emphasized that the furnace in the case is for burning coal. and no oil rationing problem is involved The tenant is said to have purchased coal which she is
