B - BALL TO PRESENT RENT BILL CHANGES Will Explain Amendments Pro- posed by Local Real Estate Owner. The Senate District committes will meet tomorrow at 2 o'clock and take action on the resolution passed by the House extending the life of the Rent Commission for two years. | Owing to a rush of other business | the committee was not able to meet | today, | Before taking final action on the |rent question, Senator Ball, chairman | of the committee, will present to his colleagues several important amend- ments requested by Bates Warren, a real estate man. The most important of these changes is one providing for an extension of the rent law for one year instead of two years. Another would reduce the | commission from five members | three members, a. third would require | @ tenant to await the expiration of a pending lease befors going to the Rent Commission, and a fourth would require a tenant to give the landlord thirty days' notice of his intention to renew a lease. Senator Ball heard a. group of build ing owners and managers vesterday afternoon relative to the proposed amendments. | Senator Ball told the delegation | trat_it was absolutely certain that the Senate would adopt the resolutian already passed by the House extend- | ing the life of the commiswion two years. He said that there were some features of the rent law that might be amended, but advised the real es- tate men 1o accept the extension res- olution, and that he would take steps later to offer necessary amendments. Bates Warren, a local real estate man, appealed to the chairman of the District committee to consider cer- tain amendments at this time, ex- pressing the belief that the House would later agree to such amend- ments. Plans Four Amendments, Senator Ball then stated that if Mr. Warren would get the proposed amendments to his office in time for the meeting of the Senate District committee, today he would offer them for action. Mr. Warren stated, follow- ing the hearing, that he was preparing four amendwents as outlined above. Among those who were’ in_confer- ence with the committee vesterday were R. L. McKeever, C. A.

BOARD TO DEBATE ON CENSORSHIP RULE | Will Resume Meetings After Three- Week Respite, With Much Business on Hand. | | After a | the of three-week respite, | board education will meet this | afternoon to dispose of a mass of accumulated routine matters in addi tion to several important questions Chief among them will be the much | criticized news censorship ruling and {a new plan, concetved by Ernest Green- wood, for the allotment of funds for emergency repair work. A determined effort will be made by Mr. Greenwood to have the news- muzzling order rescinded, in the face | of stiff opposition, which is expected to be offered by Mrs. Laura D. P. Morgan. Although Mr. Greenwood voted for the ruling when it was first proposed, he has changed . his views on censorship and is now the strongest opponent of the order on the board. Mrs. Morgan, however, apparently has not changed her opinion and will fight any move to have the ban lifted on news originating at the adminis- tration headquarters at the Franklin School. Mr. Greenwood's new scheme for the allotment of funds for emergenc: repair work contemplates the laying aside of $70,000 of the total appro- priation for school repairs immediate ly upon becoming available. Thi emergency fund, according to his plan, will be expended wherever needed without the formality of requisition from school and District government officials. tobert L. Haycock, assistant super- Klnfr‘fldfln: of schools, also will ask the board to approve the contract award- ed for supplving uniforms to mem- bers of the Washington High School Cadet Corps for the nmext scholastic year, of e PRINCESS MURAT DIES.
