FAIR RENTS.
Surely it was up to the Government in extending the above legislation to lighten tilings up a bit for the property owner. He has had a lean time ever since the clump .period set in about 10 years ago. Even the Government in the box seat as a landlord has had to admit that nearly £3000 has been lost owing to defaulting tenants. Does not this one fact tell ita own story? The bask upon which rents are assessed bv the Fair Rente Department is altogether ont of proportion to high wages and rising costs of maintenance. In justice to ownere this ought to fee reviewed. The protective and humane motives behind the "alternative accommodation , * and "hardship ,, clauses I* freely admit are the best in the world and necessary—in theory. In administration practice theory. In administration practice these have been grossly* abused.' Generally speaking, the owner hasn't a "dog , * chance." ■ FED TJP.
