Note by l. w. D.-This is quite a
novel idea and has great possible

cured by putting the sand, gravel

mixing them dry before adding the
water. Also the shorter trailer tongue
would give both better mixing and

Landlords May
 Increase Rents

The local Office of Rent Stabilization pointed out this week that the present control plan differs from that which existed during World War II, Rents are not frozen" in a strict sense. A ceiling is put on the rent with certain serv- ices and equipment, and land- lords may increase the rent for good reason, but only after an issuance of an order by the Rent Office.
 Rent Stabilization also diff fers from control in that their policies are deter mined by a local Advisory Board. How ever, this does not relieve landlords of their obligations to register their property and have maximum rents recorded. A deadline for filing exists and failure to observe these requirements will result in the innosition of penalties.
 The Rent Office in the Kod- iak Apartments will remain open until 8 P. M. Monday through Friday. Landlords are requested to furnish legal des- crlption of rental properties together with their tenants names and mailing addresses.
