Chief Justice McCoy and Justices Bailey and Hoehling, sitting in a general term of the District Court under the Ball act, today heard arguments of counsel on the appeal of the owners of Pelham Courts, 2115 P street northwest, from a determi- nation of the Rent Commission made March 9 last, reducing the income from the property about $6,000 an- nually. Arguments were made by Attorneys H. Rozier Dulany, jr.. and C. B. Garnett for the Radnor Trust Estate, which owns the building, and by Chapin Brown, Commission. the matter under advisq Counsel for the ow court nent. crs asserted took | that the ruling of the commission {3 nconstitutional in that the deter- nination is made retroactive in a procceding instituted on the initia- tive of the commission and 1ot on the complaint of the tenants. While the ecision was rendered March 9 last | it was made effective as of the prior January 15. The lawyers also con- | tended that the finding is confiscatory in that it fails to allow a reasonable mount of income on the value of the building. They pointed out that the commission had valued the prop- | rty at $225,000 when the evidence showed it to be worth 3$250,000 or ,000 and the rentals allowed on B> basis of the real value would be ess than 6 per cent Attorney Chapin Brown upheld the ruling of the commission and’ denied that the placing of the date for its pplication back to the date of the hearing was unconstitutional.
