HIGH RENT PROBLEM
IS SOLVED IN SERVIA
BELGRADE, Servia, April 10.—Ser
via is confident it has just success
fully solved the problem of soaring
rents. Following the two recent Bal
kan wars in which Servia doubled its

population into Belgrade that caused
rents to go up to an all but prohibi
tive point. A new law by parliament
went into effect today doubling the
taxes on all unoccupied houses and
apartments which it is confidently be
lieved, will cause landlords at least
| to think twice before refusing a ten
ant who cannot pay as much as the
landlord would like.
