Rent Increase
Mayor Coming Says
Council Is Against
Boost as 'InfIotionoy'

Mayor Thomas ]. Canning OF
Greenbelt, Nd, says he and mem
oers OF the Town Council are "ve-
hemently opposed" to a rent in
crease in the Government-owned
development and that such an in
crease would be "infiationary."
In statement issued last night.
Mayor Canning reported the Public
Housing Administration is "in the
black" at present rents.
PHA officials, in response to this
contention, agree that operating ex-
penses are being met, but point out
that this is only half the story.
Government money used to build
the project-and it was expensive
to builds earning no interest and
is not being paid back into the
Treasury, they explain.
Rents Extremely Low"
Thus, rents are extremely low"
IN comparison to privately operated
developments, even without taking
into consideration the admitted adj
vantages Greenbelt residents have
in the way of recreationnal facilities,
such as the swimming pool and other
advantages, PHA indicated.
Greenbelt rents, which range from
$23 to sos, are based on the ten
ants income and the size of mis-
family-and not on the type of
dwelling, itswas pointed out. Under
that graded rent" system, many
three-bedroom and basement ac-
commodations rent for considerably
less than SOS month, it was ex-
planned.
In his statement, Mayor Canning
SAID it was his belief and that of
the other members of the Town
Council that the great majority of
the residents will be most seriously
affected by an increase"
While no percentage figures were
available from PHA as to the
amount of the increase, either on
individual units or on an average
basis, the agency said the aim was
to raise the maximum" rents to
a point where they would be equal
to rents for comparable accommoda-
tons in privately-owned develop
ments.
Plan Held Infiatiouary.
Even these comparable rents
would not be charged tenants with
low incomes or large families. A re-
duction is made on the basis OF
family size and family income, it |
was explained
Referring to the increase in the |
maximum rent schedule - which |
PHA says will only be charged to
high-income families with few chill
dren-Mayor Canning said that I'm
many instances the proposed rates
represent increases in excess of 80
per cent"
The Mayor commended the present |
rentals established in 1912 under
OPA review represent a fair study |
of comparable rents, and that the
proposed increase in relation to that
study is inflationary."
The inability of PHA officials to
produce comparable data upon
which the new schedules were based
and their inability to name other
PHA housing projects where similar /
increases have been or will be, put
into effect have convinced the men,
bers of the Council that the pro-
posed action Is most arbitrary"
Mayor Canning said.

there in the cold weather - which

hooks it on his car an he's off.

car with a boy an girl who are
plannin' their future on a pint of
gas. He can't get past due to
oncomin' traffic so six cars an me
are strung out behind him.

grave robber. Nobody notices that
young love is really responsible" "
What happened?" l ask.
WELL" Bumps continues, up
the road about 20 miles l haul into
a coffee joint an there is the little
guy from Dakota.
He leaves the joint just as
do an I say to him that 1 felt
sorry for him gettin' the blame
for everything:
The little guy rocks back on
his heels an laughs. He points to
his car. No trailer.
He said he finally managed to
honk the young couple off the
road, onto the shoulder where
they parked an went on talkin'.
So he stopped too. An he talked
