This matter was brought about by the investigation of alleged exorbi- tant rents in Waterbury made by the commission for the governor and the Connecticut State Council of De- fense. To meet the situation the governor wrote to judges having ju- risdiction in summary process action in industrial centers and requested tueir aid in making it inipcssible for grasping landlords to hamper war work by “rent profiteering.” The suggestion of the governor was in effect that ,when the summary process action came before him seek- ing the eviction of a tenant for the non-payment of rent, which the ten- ant alleged to be exorbitant, judge should cause facts to be ascertained and if it appeared that public welfare or any one interested would suffer by the increased rental, he should post pone the summary process action un- i. after the wur is aver The governor accented mendation of the Connecticut Council of Defense that in places “here the number of cases this kind appeared to warrant it, special | commissions should pe appointed t investigate these matters for the judges one labor representative Commissioners have been ed as follow: Bridgeport—William | John W.
