Director of Rent Sterilization,
Tighe E. Woods pointed out in his

cessive increases through the years
have made today's legal rents
higher than 20 per cent of the
June 80, l947 rates, ordered by
Congress, the landlord will retain

Monroe county has not granted
any increase for maintenance and
operations costs beyond the 10
percent raise in DeceInhey. hence
the landlords are entitled to an
additional 10 percent if the Rent
Advisory Board approves it.
Woods promises that he will
concentrate his efforts upon an
effective Rent Control program
around military installations and
critical defense housing areas to
protect military and defense work
ers and their families from ex-
ploitation.
Every excessive rent that
stands up like a sore thumb is
going to be knocked down." he
declared.
He was referring to areas that
have been decontrolled since 1947
