In public statement, Walter E.
Walsh, Rent Director Attorney for
Alaska, stated his office is re-
ceiving an increasing number of
inquiries concerning the extension
of rent control and flood of
petitions by landlords for rental
increases.
The Act of Congress continued
the Office of the Housing Expe-
otter until June 80, 1851, and auth
cried it to administer rent con-
trolls Walsh said. The law, he
stated, continues rent controls in
Alaska until December 81, 1850.
Rent control may be continued to
June 80, 1851, by either City Coun-
Gil action or by popular referendum.
lie said there is no requirement for
public bearing, legal notice or
ether procedural matter if the
City Council wants to take action
for continuing rent control after
December 81. All the Council needs
to do is declare by resolution that
shortage CT rental housing ex-
lists which requires the continuance
of rent control and promptly to
notify the Office Of the Housing
EXpediter CT its action.
Without the Council action or
referendum to continue control,
Federal Rent Control here ends
December 81.
A further local option privilege,
the Rent Official said, is that the
local City Council could, even after
passing the resolution to continue
rent ccntrol, vote to end it any
time between now and June 80.
1851.
Since Korea cur Alaska Offices
have been flooded with landlord
petitions for rental increases, Walsh
stated We are processing hund-
reds of petitions each month and
granting many increases in rentals.
Fer the greater part these in
creases are requested because of
the increased costs to the land
lords for fuel, materials, supplies,
labor and other costs of operation.
Increase in rentals can be obtained
only by petition and an order. Any
landlord believing that an inequity
exists in his rentals should contact
our office Tor information, FORMS
instructions or assistance. The Ju-
neau office is in the Valentine
Building.

Maryland Zone Fare
To 7Cents Feb. 70

Riders on Capital Transit Co.
lines in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties will pay cents
more per zone beginning Feb

in Montgomery, who must travel
through five zones to get to the
District line, will have to pay 20
cents more for each round trip.
When added to the 13-cent fare
