REALTORS
FOR RENT DATA
Four Points OF Information
Needed To Ask For Rent
Decontrol

Substantiating evidence to back
their demands for rent decontrol
public hearing here was asked
of the Wilmington Board of Real
tors Tuesday by the Wilmington
Rent Control Advisory board.
The realtors in their November
meeting adopted a resolution de-
nouncing continuation of rent
controls and criticizing the board
for not holding a public hearing
on the matter before it recon-
mended to Washington that con-
trolls be continued in this area.
The rent board members ad-
vised the realtors that before it
could make any recommendation
to Washington for decontrol here,
the rent board should have in
writing substantiated testimony
on the following four points:
l. Current vacancies IN the area
and the prospective demand for
housing accommodations result
ing from change in employment
and migration.
2. The trends of new construc-
ton both for rent and for self
occupancy.
3. Changes in the general rent
level of the area which are likely
to result from decontrol.
4. The effect of decontrol on
the eviction rate in this locality.

For Staying Out Late

The old, old story of family
quarrel in which one aggravated
party sWears out a warrant but
cools off and fails to prosecute
by the time the case is called in
court, was repeated with all the
trimmings before Judge H. Win
field Smith in Recorders court
Tuesday.
Mrs. William johnson, mother
Of four and wife of a 31-year-old
service station operator, told the
court she had forgiven her hus-
band for assaulting her after she
took exception to his staying out
late.
The way she acted was enough
to provoke an attack, she told the
court as she explained every
thing. She further stated that she
hit her husband first and "got in
several good licks." Judge Smith
mol pressed the case with leave.
