Milk price cut,

Hawthorne Melody dairy made

Following the lead of several
major diaries last week, Haw-

Rent boost may

Now you see it, now you don't
but under one of those shells
that the Chicago Rent Advisory
Board is manipulating is a rent
boost which may be announced
this or any week.
Five of the Rent Boards ii
new members. hand picked by
Gov. Green. committed Them
selves last week to supporting
the recent recommendation of
the original eight board men,
bers for a Is per cent rent in
crease affecting 100000 Chicago
tenants who earlier refused
new leases for rent increases.
With board member Michael
Mann, CLIO regional director, the
only open dissenting voice against
the rent increase, John Joseph
Ryan, chairman of the board, an
nounced meeting would be held
to discuss an increase this week.
Meanwhile Warner G.. Baird,
president of the Chicago Real Es-
tatae Board, dreamed up a new
nightmare for tenants. Baird pro-
posed last week a blanket rental
boost of 25 per cent, or 10 per
cent for those who have already
signed leases for Is per cent in
creaseS.
