Fuel is somewhat lower. Other supplies cost less. Cer- tain recent rental increases are absolutely unwarranted, and most Seattle office and store rents SHOULD BE MATERIALLY REDUCED. Landlords must understand that it is up to them, as well as up to the rest of the community, to liquidate the war-fever standards. Unless they begin doing it promptly, The Star is convinced, many businesses, many groups will take the same step the doctors contemplate, and build their own housing.
