Hightights that developed during the analysis of the rent situation here which has been under fire on many sides developed the fact that in many places rents have not been reduced to meet the economic pressure which is facing Casper; that, predictions to the contrary, landlords renting prop- ety based on a 20 per cent return are not clearing over 5 per cent; that renters are primarily responsible for the conditions here that allow desir- able properties to be out of propor- tion through the practice of paying The Trapshoot- believe ee and geologists ‘rapshooter” Reilly Mexia-Wortham field arrived at mapped and honor.

Among the speakers who placed their views before the Realtors were M.-P. Wheeler, voteran Casper real estate man, who has made an inves tigation of the situation through long experience in observing conditions in Casper; E. P. Bacon, general man- ager of the Natrona Power company, and Charies Anda, house and apart- ment owner of Casper. Mr, Wheeler opened the discussion by calling attention to the fact that rents were on the decline in Casper except in a few rare instances. There is a general reduction trend to meet conditions that must be met in Cas. per if the city is to continue to grow. Mr. Wheeler also called attention to the fact that every member of the Real Estate board could show that all properties listed with them for rent had been reduced and that the indi vidual members of the association were impressing upon their clients and upon other property owners the necessity of reducing rents. He announced that neither he nor any other member of the Realtor as sociation believed that aN rents had ‘een reduced to meet the present con- ditions but he believed that these cer. tain exceptions would always be a ‘Done of contention unless persons who rent properties co-pperate with other agencies in an effort to work out equitable rent relief here It was charged in the meeting thal certain prominent people here who own properties, had not yet seen the light and were charging rentals that had not been adjusted to present con- ditions. One of the greatest features that must be taken into consideration by landlords here is the cost of upkeep of properties. Lack of cooperation on the part of some tenants neceasi tates high rentals, it was said, to re- place properties in repair after ten- ants movo out. Other features that were mentioned to show a lack of co-operation with landlords was general misuse of prop- erties; lack of care in keeping the houses and grounds in shape; destroy- ing walls by driving nails, spikes and other devices into the walls; moving out without no & landlord, per- mitting water pipes and other fixtures to freeze, destruction and theft of fur. niture and other costs which neces- sitate high rents to insure medium re- turns. Taking tnto consideration interest, vacancy, depreciation, taxes, repatrs and other costs, the property owner here has to receive a large return, it ‘was stated, in order to make renting houses a profitable investment.
