7 BROOKLYN OFFERS ve FINE OPENING FOR THE TAX ASSESSORS Rents Are Raised Raised Sky High—{ Let the Laridlords Pay on Increased Values, TO KEEP TAX RATE LOW. Would Provide Large Part of the $50,000,000 Needed * by Greater City. Brookiyn flats will furnish a fertile field for tho deputy tax assessors Working in that borough if they see Mt to follow the expressed wishes of the City Administration that the $50,000,000 of additional revenue to be raised next year shall be raised with-| out adding to the tax rate | Increases in rentals by Brooklyn landlords have beon just as marked as those in Manhattan and the Bronx, ‘Tho Mayor's Committee and Munici- pal Courts have reports from tenants om record which will show the tax .osessors just what rental value the Jandiords put on thelr premi If the assessors will take the landlords’ own word for the value of their property, as indicated by the rent rolls, they can find a large part of the additional! os. necessary $2,000,000,000 in taxable value for the 1921 tax rolls. While property values are not so liigh in the borough across the river, | cheap and medium priced apartments | have been adfanced to tho point | where they rival those‘in Manhattan for price. | LANDLORDS MAKE NEW LAW, REASON FOR RAISING. | Incidentally, the large majority of ldadiords who set their raises at 2 per cent. Indicates the need for a! clearer understanding by tenants of the provisions of the landlord-tenunt Jaws passed to help bridge the emer- gency. | It appears to bo a quite general misapprehension at a landlord can! arbitrarily raise bis rents 25 per cent, vegurdless of the facts involved and that the tenant must pay. They also seem to be of the opinion that a landlord cannot raise rents more than 25 per cent. The landlord-tenant laws do not forbid lundiord# to raise their rents, | xior do they give permission to raise them arbitrarily. ‘They do prohibit raising rents unreasonably. The 25 per cent. provision js only the divid-| ing line to guide the courts in taking evidence. If the raise is under 25 per cent., It is up to the tenant who wprotests ‘to show the court that the raise is unreasonable. If it is over 25 per cent., the landlord must show it is reasonable. This point has been explalped so often that repetition should be wn- necessary, but the large number of | cases in which the landlords set 20 per cent. as their raise, and the larger number of tenants who visit the Mayor's Comuitteo for advice on that | f |. 1 i ‘ No Mothers to Follow, so Must | Act Independently, De- This is the second article of a se ries dealing with the political reac- tions: of the passage of the in New Amendm These Are Some of Their Selections as the Prettiest in the U.S. DISCORD IF WIVES.
