City Faces
Chaos in
Tax Setup.
BY HAROLD sHACHERN

II protest by the Koenig Coal
Company is upheld by the states
attorney general. the city's $1,000
100000 tax assessment rolls may
be thrown on the scrap heap, II
was indicated today.
Appearing before the state tax
commission hearings yesterday,
Norman j. Fredericks. attorney
for the coal company. argued that
the charter amendment approved
by Detroit voters April %, 194l.
which moved the tax assessment
date from April ! to March was
unconstitutional.
1.-THE city of Detroit had no
authority to change this date
which II provided In the state
constitution, Fredericks said. AS
result of this change, many
Detroit business firms were
caught with much larger in
ventOries on March than they
would have had q month later"
FISCAL PROGRAM PERILED
An adverse decision on the part
of Attorney General Rushton
would throw the city's entire fiscal
program into confusion. On the
basis of the more than three bill
lion dollar assessment rolls. COM
mon council approved city budget
Of more than $50 ,000.0 900, the larg-
est in the city's history.
On the same basis. general
10 per cent raise for all city EN-
ployes was approved by the council
In addition. the city assessors Of
flee would be faced with repeating
the titanic task OF re-assessing city
real and personal properties.
Fredericks indicated that even
should the attorney general fail TO
uphold his protest. his firm was
prepared 10 pay frS taxeS under
protest, pending an appeal 10 the
supreme court. The commission
took the question under Amusement
and will refer II 10 Rushton.
The purpose OF changing the
assessment date was 10 give the
city an additional 30 days TO pre-
pare for the new fiscal year.

Landlords Seek
100000 TO Aid
In Rent Battle
Organizing All Property
Owners After U. s. Denies
Change in Freezing Date

Organization Of greater Detroit
owners against present
terms of the rent control bill was
spurred today following a report
by a committee that federal Off
Gals in Washington had fatty
refused to change the rent-freez-
ing date of April l. 1871.
An estimated 1000 persons
TANNED the auditorium OF North
ern High School last night TO at
tend the meeting sponsored by the
Greater Detroit Property Owners
and Taxpayers Association, which
sent the committee to Washington.
Said John w. Langs, member
of the committee and vice presi-
dent of the association:
"The office of price admin
stration has been fully advised
Of our problem--that the freez-
ing OF rents as of April 1, 1871,
is unfair and unequitabie to
landlords In the Detroit area.
NET WITH REFUSAL
"The committee asked the
rent-cOntrol administrator to re-
lieve the hardship and dlscrim-
nation against property owners
by advancing the freezing date
to January 1 or March Of this
year. We were met with a fiat
refusal"
Langs said that surveys showed
that rents here have risen only
10 per cent between April i OK
last year and the date the rent
control act became effective. Dur
ing the period, he added, retail
prices rose Is per cent, wholesale
lprices 33 per cent and the prices
| of raw materials Sc per cent.
Property owners have been
squeezed, he said because OF the
failure of Congress to freeze wages
and farm prices along with rents,
as was done in Canada.
NO DISCRETION ALLOWED
Criticizing the OPA's lack of
cooperation wit n communities.
.lLangs pointed out that local Off
Gals have been granted no powers
of discretion and must carry out
regulations as dictated in Wash
Iington.
"The administrator told us
), that nothing could be done ex-
! cept to add a percentage of rent
to the April level II and when
figures justify It," Langs con-
cluded.
In an effort to produce an or'
ganization powerful enough to be
heard in Washington. the associa'
ton has started a drive for 30O,.
1000 members in Wayne Oakland
and Macomb counties. 1t was or
ganized and held its first meeting
: a week ago.
! The association plans to meet
: with common council on Tuesday
; to protest the councils approva
: of April 1 freezing date, later
adopted by the OPA. The councils

mayors fair-rent committee.
