YOUR,
MONEYS WORTH
Renting Easier, Too
BY SYLVIA PORTER

We tenants are starting to
play the annual game of musi-
cal chairs in our New York City
apartment houses now " with
some of us switching apart
mentS within the building, some
of us moving out. some of us
m loving in. But this year,
there's delightful difference
in the way we're playing.
The presSures are gone, at
last they're gone-particularly
in the middle, higher-middie
price range. The prolonged
period of catching-up is over
and the supply of apartments
to rent is rising to or surprising
the demand. The postwar rise
in rents has slowed to a crawl,
and throughout the country,
rents are leveling of, even
dropping.
Evidence Offered
Of course, I'm not stating
this only on my own observa-
ton. To back the above points,
consider.
Evidence: The vacancy rose
to 7.3 per 100 apartments or
houses for rent in the second
quarter of 1860, the Census
Bureau has just reported. This
is up from rate of ga per 100
at the end of 1859, a rate of
4.8 in early 1857 and of "a in
1850, the year of a roof-of any
rt-at-any-price.
When the vacancy rate
jumped sharply in the first
quarter of 1860, Census Bureau
officials were skeptical, warned
the rise might be a fluke and
suggested the second quarter
report should be watched. Now
it's out and the rate is up again
indicating as one Government
official put it in typical Wash
lngtonese, some dem an d
restrictions"
Evidence: At the last report
ing date. the percentage of va
cancies in rental units covered
by Federal Housing Admins
tration insurance was up to 4.8
the highest since 1851 and
comparing with an all-time
low of "a per cent as recently
as 1857.
Evidence: In almost one.
fourth of the country, the va
cancy rate is 6 per cent or more
at this time, according to the
semi-annual survey of the AS
sociation of Real Estate Boards
In one-third of the country
the vacancy rate is 3 to 5 per
cent and the number of regions
reporting under 2 per cent is
shrinking. Says the board
There is a noticeable increase
in the availability of higher
priced units-$125 or over"
Evidence: Many areas CLOS

Diego, Phoenix, Seattle, Co.

SlnCe pre-War Gays.
Shortages Still Heavy
Does this mean that rental
experts are in House g. Homes
words, reaching for the panic
button? No. not by a long shot.
There are still awful shortages
in low to low-middle heusing.
There is a vast untapped mar
ket for city apartments de-
signed for bachelors, single
girls, young marrieds. In our
city and in others, the situa-
ton varies from section to sec
tion and building to building.
But the basic point is clear
and OF national Importance.
The furious pace of apartment
building is bringing supply up to
demand. In 1859, 20 per cent of
the country's new housing was
in muliunit buildings, twice the
percentage of five years before.
The uninterrupted advance in
rents since World War II Ger
tainly has brought most rents
into line" The NAREB survey
reveals in Sc per cent of the
country, rents are relatively
unchanged" from last year.
Where they've moved, 81 per
cent of the changes have been
down, only % per cent have
been up.
Competition is back, quality
is rising, service is improving,
prices are leveling off.

On the Air
By BERNIE HARRISON
Star TV Critic

If you feel that the multiple commercials
on, say, the Paar show, too often intrude on the
lively chatter NBC has a wonderful answer
They'll tell you that they're actually permitted
to include one more sponsor but so far have
refrained from doing it.
Big of them isn't it?
Paar, under contract to NBC, can grumble
about it and has, but there's little he can do.
That's why we think that veteran Garry
Moore may have won one of the most significant
victories of the season in behind the-SceneS
battle with CHS and his sponsors
It's no secret that Moore and his producer,
Bob Banner felt there were far too many COM
mercial interruptions on the weekly variety
show
1t isn't the time given over to the four
sponsors that's annoying, but the fact that six
breaks are required.

carefully, knew the fans objected He hoped to

that worked out beautifully for him.
He was in no position to do anything about

STA soon will expand its fishing

The Russians told an informal

Russia will begin experimental
halibut fishing, also expand TROLL
ing operations for perch, sole, other
other bottom fish. Kulikov stated,
in reply to a question: "Our main
emphasis has ben on the Boring
Sea, but we are planning to ex-
pand south in the Aleutians. We
don't try to conceal our growing
interest in this fish.
George Clark, Canada's deputy
fisheries minister, reminded him
that Canada and the us. have
managed the halibut resource
jointly for many years. Kulikov re-
piled: "When we initiate halibut
fishery we will certainly provide
all statistical information"

King Grab, Inc, Offers TO Purchase
Cold Storage Plant : Develop By 1862

King Crab, Inc. has offered to
purchase the cold storage facili-
ties now owned by the City.
The firm has submitted two
alternate plans, one calling for a
purchase price of 100000 Under
this agreement, they offer to pay
$500 down and the balance to be
paid, without interest, at the rate
of $500 or more per month. They
further stipulate that the property
and all improvements and personal
property placed or erected by
them, be exempt from all real and
personal taxes except school taxes
for the next ten years.
This agreement also provides
that the balance will be paid in
full on or before April, 1862. They
agree to install on or before April
l, 1862, cold storage facility hav-
ing holding capacity of at least
100000 pounds of fish.
The second alternative offered
by the firm is to purchase the
property for $4,000. Down pay
ment under this agreement would
be $3.50 and the balance payable,
without interest, at the rate of
$3.50 or more per month. The en-
tire amount would be paid on or
before April 1, 1862.
Under the alternate plan, the
company would not be obligated
to install amy particular equipment
by particular deadline. They
also do not ask for any tax exemp-
ton.
In making the offer, Bob Resoff
president of King Crab, Inc, stat
ed that it is planned to employ a
reputable refrigeration engineer
ing firm to lay out plans for con-
struction and the installation of
cold storage facilities to take care
of future expansion as demands
for additional volume arise. Pre-
sent plans call for plant with a

of fish, motion to have a COM
mittee study the plan further was
adopted.
Main objection to the proposal
was the suggested capacity of the
plant. 1t was felt that 100000
pounds capacity was not sufficient
to handle the needs of the area.
100000 pound capacity was sug-
gested. The president, DR.. Bob
Johnson, appointed a cor1mitte to
study the proposals. This commit
tee consists of Del Valentine, chair
man, Emil Knudsen, Emil Norton,
Lloyd Cannon and All Hochberger.
Chuck Weir, DELEGATE to the
State Chamber of Commerce meet
ing in Fairbanks, reported on reSo-
buttons presented to the group
from here. He said he was unable
to report what happened to most of
them.
A swimming pool for Kodiak is
now being studied by a group, who
are comforting with an engineer on
the naval station, according to AL
Hochberger, who stated in his re-
port that report of the commit
tees findings should be forthcom-
ing by the next meeting of the
Chamber.
One guest, Al Nelson, from
Anchorage, was present at the
meeting.

100000 pound capacity.

OUU,UUU pOuIlu Capacity.
Resoff also pointed out the great
potential in Kodiak capturing much
of the halibut market, and also
the bait herring market. He also
stated that the freezing and pro-
cessing of king crab will undoubt-
edly be large part of any cold
storage operation in Kodiak. other
than canning, readying the crab
for consumer market is now done
in Seattle by Seattle labor This,
he stated, could be accomplished
here in Kodiak with a cold stor-
age plant
The two plans are now being
considered by the City Council,
and also a special committee APP
pointed by DR.. Bob Johnson, presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce.
Public hearings will be held at a
later date before any agreement
is finalized.
