BALTIMORE, May 16.—"No rent commission is needed here and Metz- erott’s wrong so far as Baltimore's concerned,” declared Secretary Pitt of the Real Estate Board, in comment- ing on the statement of Oliver Meta- erott of Washington that every city |in. the country will have'a rent com- |m!~<hl(-n in ten years. a commission. It is an unwarranted asion of governmental authority “Baltimore should never have such |a into matter best settled by the work- ing out of economic laws. “We had lower rents here than the cities which had rent commissions. There was some profiteering during the war period, but not by reputable realtors. “Most of our realtors took profits less than those set up by the.Gov- ernment as fair profits in Washing- ton. “A rent commission scares capital from investing in the building of homes. The result is that there is still a_housing shortage in Washington, while we have entirely overcome our own shortage, it is believed, and in fact may be a little ahead in homes. “The only profiteering I know of is the renting of garages, or $400 to build, for §120 3 more. There is a good deal of this in Baltimore now, but a garage is not ssential as a home. WASHINGTON, D. C. Owes $160,400; Files Bankruptcy. Joseph W. Buchanan, described as an “executive” with offices in the In- vestment Building, has filed a peti- tion in voluntary bankrupty. He lists his debts at $160,400 and estimates his assets at $1,500.
