PUT MORE RIVETS IN DOWLING BILL TO MAKE IT STICK erie= Sarees Objections of Landlords Met by Allowing Them “Op- ating Expenses.” PROPOSE 6 1-2 TO 8 P.C. Even With This Liberal Al- lowance Tax Revenue Would Be Increased. Objections to the rent bill pre- pared by Senator Edward -J. Dowling for the special session of the Legis- lature called by Goy. Smith Sept. 20, will be answered by the addition to the bill of a clause setting a stand. , 8rd allowance for operating expense of apartment properties, This allowance, probably between 6% and 8 per cent., will be to cover i) operating expenses except mort- sage interest, which is not properly an item of upkeep, Government statistics and the experience tables of men who have spent years in the tenement house business will form the basis for the allowance, Land- lords will be given a hearing if they disagree with the figures, “A standard allowance will dispose of one of the most irritating facte n landlord and tenement disputes,” Senator* Dowling said last evening while answering scores of communi- cations resulting from the publica- tion of his proprosed bill in The Eve- ning World, PUT IN TO AVOID EMBARRAS- SING LITIGATION. “In most of the disputes the land- lord gives high oxpenses as his ex- cuse for raising rents, Tho tenants complain the rents are extortionate. The landlord says they are not high enough and boosts them again, The landlord has the figures and knows the operating costs. The tenants have ho figures and cannot know the facts, The case gets into court. The lani- lord presents his figures. The Jus- tice decides the case, Né matter how he decides it, another Justice sitting in the next district may be deciding the same kind of a case in a different way. By fixing a definite percentage and providing a detinite method of estab- lishing value, we can establish a defl- nite method for deciding what may be presumed fair. If elther landlords or tenants feel that special -circum- stances create @ condition in which the presumption fs not fair, they can get Special relief from the courts, “This is the way the law is intend- ed to work. Take for example, a building assessed at $83,500, which shelters forty famjlies. The actual ajue would be presumed to he 29 per gent. more than the assessed yal yocause tax Values are almost a fow /te behind the act would set the actual value at $100,000, The landlord would be entitied to 10 per cent. net rétura ma value. LANDLORDS CAN STILL BE AS- SURED BIG RETURNS. “If we allow, say 7 per cent, for operating expenses, exclusive of In- it will make the cent. on $100,000, terest on mortgae gyoss return 17 p or $17,000 per year. This ts an 4 age rental of $425 per year, or $35 per month, for each of the falls Uf the landlord demands more rental than this, the courts, under the law, would be forbidden to put the tenants yut for refusing to pay the excessive charge, unless the landlord could prove his case was exceptio “Pho reason 1 except mort terest from operating expense is that it 4g not properly partyef the upkeep.
