From all parts of the city com- plaints of unreasonable increnses in rent are still pouring in to The Kvening World. In five months rents in an apart- ment house on Grant Avenue, the Bronx, went from §29 to $50, an in- crease of more than 72 per cent. For three rooms in an_ utterty dilapidated building on Vermilye Avenue, where no repairs have been made in the last two years, the rents of the tenants have been increased from $23 to $30 a month, two of the boosts coming in two consecutive months, and others expected, the ten- ants say. Within’ the last nine months an «partment butiding on Valentine Ave- nue has changed hands twice, each | landlord increasing the rent twice, raising it from §35 to $42 Reports from Marion Avenue, the Bronx, show that one apartment house has changed hands three times in the last six months and that the rents have been {ncreased from $39 to $52 in that time. Four rooms in an Kast 176th Street upartment which formerty rented for $23 are now bringing $32, an increase of about 40 per cent. This building changed hands this month and the new landlord raised the rent at once. Apartments on Albany Avemue, Brooklyn, which a year ago rented for $22, have changed hands three times since then, the tenants mean- ering four increases as fol- 0 $23, to $25, to $30, to $36. The total increase amounts to 64 per cent. | A tenant in the Bay Ridge section ot Brooklyn reports three recent in- creases in rent, carrying it from $17 @ month to $26, a boost of 53 per cent. om the Borough Park section es information of three Increases t months, lifting the rent from $48 a month.

Navy are to be driven electrically, the keen interest of discriminating motorists in the Owen Magnetic has doubled and re-doubled. For what greater endorse- ment of this principle could there be than that its actual performance on the great battle- ship New Mexico should war- rant the Navy Department in adopting it for all battleships, in which economy and depend- ability are paramount? Smart people have always. too, admired the craftsmanship expressed in the Owen Magnetic, because it invariably expresses the idea of unobtrusive elegance. Colors and upholstering are decided upon by the owner. All the appointments show discrimination—such as the silver hardware, the lighting fixtures, the carpeting. And just? as the Owen Mag- netic avoids the Soomonenace ppearance, so does it banis eel crudities of the past, At the touch of finger-tip this wonderful car is in com- plete control—giant power leaps ‘across an air space from engine clanking noises ger—just, & quiet seely diferent. => SS cman @ — =—- Street. — SS — — = > at 59th Announcement ES Parrringe*COwc METROPOLITAN DISTRIBUTORS From this date the Show Rooms of Owen Magnetic and Liberty Six will be in more convenient and commodious quarters at 1826-28 Broadway, near 59th The firm name of the Metropolitan Distributors of these cars of quality and distinction has been changed to E.

Your first thought of the Liberty is that it has a beauty and charm of individual style that set it quite apart from other cars. And that there is a superi ority and a difference in the yy the Liberty rides and a feel that the car holds its steadiness because of its perfect balance. You feel that you can drive or ride for hours without a sense of fatigue. You identify excellence in every unit that goes to make up the car. This recognition of superi- ority becomes steadily greater with the intimate experience of ownership. The final test of Liberty superiority is in its long-lived, continuous service, that you can get from Liberty users. There is no car which is regarded by its owners with greater friendliness, As to performance we know a no better way to win your (pt erence than to aenhy assert its own difference jority in a demonstra- deg mites on Rent Profitecring has formed an alliance with Commissioner of Ac-/remain at the old figure. counts David Hirschfield. Certain landlords summoned to appear before Commissioner Hirschfield to-day, after having defied Chairman Hirsch, regard the alliance as offensive Rent-raising landlords generally were consulting their lawyers to-day after hearing what happened yester- day to one of the Schweinbund who had increased the rent to his tenant in a West 58th Street house from $46 to $70 since last August. Chairman Hirsch called the landlord before him. “Why should I answer questions?” said the landlord. “What can you do with me if I don’t?” Before the day was over the Iand- lord bad a summons from the Com- missioner of Accounts. He obeyed it to-day. He found Chairman Hirsch sitting beside Commissioner Hirach- feld. “Mr, Hirsch wil ask you eame questions,” said the Commissioner af Accounts tn effect. “You may refuse to answer him if you wish, But you shall be wasting breath and time, be cause I shall then ask them. And I have the legal right to make inquiries to determine whether your property is properly asseased on the tax books, I have the right to see whether your assessment ought not to be very greatly increased when you are valu- ing the rental of your house at nearly | twice the rate on which the last as- | {m sessment was based.” Five other landlords were sum- | moned to the joint hearing to-| morrow. { The Welfare Committee of the Board of Aldern n will hold an open | meeting for dis fied tenants this afternoon, The Advisory Committee | of the State Reconstruction Commis- sion will meet to-day to discuss. plans urged by The Evening World for the | encouragement of building invest- LIBERTY | Proof of 4 Yb let the _ > cS Wl YY Le Y) A aR te a ‘:/2 KILLED, 3 HURT BY AUTO; 21) Aa Omega ents, In Queens County Distr orney O'Leary ja preparing to the i PRINCETON PREP BOYS HELD : brulsed. ttention of » conduct Se rowding cots i eviction cas Mother #.)
