NKW YORK ST U K RENT

NKW YORK. July 24— Tho new
state rent laws are in effective but
have not deterred profiteering land
!o ds from continuing rent gouging
a au'ta on thousands of tenants in
New York City, according to Lee Ken
neth Mayer, chief counsel for the
.Mayor's Committee on Kent Profiteer
ing.
The landlords are adopting diverse
methods to circumvent the new laws,
Mr. Mayer declared and have been
successful to a certain extent.

the landlords as outlined by Counsel
Mayer are to:
Notify tenants that their leases will
not be renewed unless they are willing
to pay exorbitant rents. It* they re
fuse to meet this increase the tenants
are then ousted by due process of the
law.
Notify tenants that the premises
have been sold on the cooperative plan
but offer to sell them the apartment,
if they will pay the exorbitant sum
asked.
Show a higher valuation on their
property by inter-transfer of property
through alleged sales ami thus he able
to extract a higher rental.
The first method, according to Mr.
Maher, is the most popular hut is
rathei slow as it takes from one
month to one year to legally evict a
tenant.
The cooperative selling plan, he de
clared, was one of the new inventions
of the landlords to exploit the tenant.
The transferring of property on the
pretense of making a bona fide sale
and thus increasing the valuation of
the premises is one of the latest dodg
es, Mr. .Mayor explained. By this me
thods the landlord “sells” to a relative
or business partner, then “buys” the
property back again and thus runs up
th*‘ valuation, which will command a
higher rental under the state laws.
The entire legal staff of the rent
committee has been placed at the dis
posal of tenants in their fight against
the rent profiteer. Landlords who are
inclined to be fair are meeting their
tenants in the offices of the commit
tee and are arranging new leases with
their tenants on definite terms.
The rent committee which has been
in operation for 15 months has hand
led more than 80,000 cases of which
62,000 have been settled in and out of
court. Of the remaining cases, 8,000
are listed as hopeless and no settle
ment is possible.
There is a constant flood of com
plaints into the committee’s office,
which is visited by about 5,000 tenants
every week.

WEEDLESS LAWN LATEST
LOS ANTILLES, July 24— A lawn
that is not a lawn, but looks like a
lawn and is said by its owner to
be better than a lawn— a waterless,
mo we i less, weedless, gophcrless,
lawn— in short, a cement lawn, paint
ed grass green, has made its appear
ance in front of a Los Angeles bunga
low.
Mrs. A. C. Woodard inventor and
owner, says it saves time, money
and worry. She never has to water
it, she never has to cut it; it is al
ways dry enough to sit on— and it
needs painting only once a year.
She has circular holes cut through
the lawn and in them and along the
edges she has flowers planted.
‘T invented the cement lawn,” she
said, “because of trouble I had in get
ting a man to take care of my old
grass lawn. It cost only $65.
You don’t know what a blessing it
is,” she continued. “Do you know, I
believe there would be much less un
happiness in married life if the hus
band would use cement instead of a
grass lawn, and so avoid having to
come home after work and run an old
lawn mower over the front yard every
night.”

BUFFALO, July 24— Unless some
remedy is found for the acute short
age of nurses, many hospitals of the
country will hi* compelled to curtail
their operations, asserted Mrs. Annie
L. Hansen, superintendent of the
Buffalo District Nursing Association,
in her annual report. A recent cam
paign to induce more young women
to take up the profession of nursing
was a failure, Mrs. Hansen said,
and as a result one Buffalo institu
tion was compelled to close one of
its departments.
“Hospital training schools of the
United States have reached a high
state of efficiency and hospitals and
new systems for nursing the sick in I
their homes are arising everywhere,”
Mrs. Hansen said, “but the necessary |
!
pupils fail to appear. The country
needs another Florence Nightingale.”
