Mass Meeting Called
On Rent Increases

A mass meeting of the approx
mately 600 tenants of Fairfax Viii
lage, Alabama avenue and Thirty
eighth street Sc, will be held this
week to discuss rent increases re-
quested by the Realty Management
Corp. and to arrange for united
front at hearings before the District
Rent Control Administration next
month. ...
The meeting was agreed on yes
terday at a preliminary gathering
in St. Timothy's Church, Alabama
avenue and Suitland road Sc. Al
though that session had been
planned for only 20 representatives
from each of the four divisions Of
Fairfax Village, nearly 200 tenants
we're present, spokesman said.
1--WE did not call this as pro-
test meeting" the spokesman de-
clared today. 1--WE simply wanted to
study the merits of the proposed in
creases and we appointed COM
mittee of 13 members to do this
before all the tenants meet this
week"
Although the proposed rent in
creases vary from 10 to Is per cent
and are on an individual unit basis,
the group at the meeting yester-
day decided to retain one attorney
to represent the tenants. The Rent
Control administrator Office ex-
planned Today that individual ten
ants could choose attorneys if they
wished, but that they are not re-
quired to do so to protect their
interests.
The Rent Control Administration
has scheduled four public hearings
between March II and 27 because
petitions were filed for the four sec
tions comprising Fairfax Village.
j. Clarence Blake. manager of the
development, said the proposed in
creases would range from approxi-
mately S. to 81 a month. Operat-
ing costs have increased more than
100000 since 1912, he declared.
