Owners Request
Old Rent Rate al
Suit|and Manor
Want to Restore
That Existing Before
OPA Ordered Cut

A petition seeking restoration of
rents at the Suitland Manor Md
apartment development to those in
effect before the Office of Price
Administration ordered a reduction,
will be filed this week by the Suit
land Manor Owners Association on
behalf of the small property owners
in the project.
According to William E. Spicer,
association president, the groups
attorney, Vance v. Vaughan, will
file the request with the OPA Area
Rent Control ONCE in Silver Spring
in an attempt to obtain favorable
action before appealing to the
courts.
Restored on 200 Buildings.
Mr.. Spicer recalled that James w.
Woogerd, former areas rent director
for nearby Maryland, ordered a IS
month reduction in rents last
January for each of the approx
mately $50 buildings in the de-
velopment.
He said the largest single owner,
who also was the builder, has sue
ceeded in having the cut restored
for each apartment in his 100
buildings.
Owners of the other 60 buildings,
however, have not received the
same consideration from OPA," Mr..
Spicer said, although they have
spent thousands of dollars improv-
ing the appearance and living con-
ditions of their properties"
Viewed as Discrimination.
"In our opinion, Mr. Spicer
declared, 1.-The reduction was arbi-
trary and illegal and our efforts to
restore the rentals to the pre-
OPA figure represents the desire of
the small property owners to re-
ceive a fair return for their in
vestment plus a desire to provide
liveable homes for our tenants.
THE association members feel
that granting the full rent restora-
ton to the largest single owner but
denying it to the local individual
owners Is clearly discrimination in
favor of the more powerful out-of-
town interests"
