100. ¢, BOOS N SUBURB RENTALS DUE TOT FLUX Westchéster Folk Gouged by Landlords as City Tenants Seek Refuge There. | TO APPEAL TO ALBANY. Yonkers and Mt. Vernon Resi- dents’ Delegation to Ask Re- lief at Special Session, Rent payers of and Mount Vernon are arranging to send delegations to Albany Sept, 20 to urge the special session of the Legislature to include these suburbs in the rent laws passed to meet the emergency in New York City. So many refugees are being driven across the northern Yonkers boyndary line into the two Westchester communi- ties that the landlords are boosting rents beyond the meang of residents there. One landlord, who owns apartment houses in Yonkers and New York City, is succeeding in throwing his tenants out of the Yonkers properties, with the aid of Justice of the Peace proceedings, while his New York tenants have been given a year's stay. | A PECULIAR TAX SITUATION BROUGHT ABOUT. While the angry tenants are dis- the merits of the Dowling Bill, on which Senator Dowling of we Nineteenth Senatorial Distret is working to perfect some flaws pointed out after The Evening World published it in its embryo shape, the officials of the two cities are studying with interest the peculiar tax situa- tion brought about by rent profiteer- ing, brought to light by The Evening World, Scores of cases, selected at random from the thousands in the records of the Mayor's Committee on Rent Prof- fteering and the Municipal Courts, have been published to show the enormous increase in income land- lords have exacted since the assessed value rolls for New York City real estate were made up last year, The deputy tax assessors working on the 1921 rolls have had their attention called to the increased rentals land- lords are collecting, and, by compari- | son, the possible tax valuation made up in proportion to rent increases have been shown, Mrs. Emma L, Hollywood, City ‘Treasurer of Mount Vernon, said to- day that by following the path blazed "by The Evening World for the New York assessors, the Mount Vernon of- ficlals can give that community the additional borrowing capacity that is badly needed for public improve- ments, ‘4 “If the landlord is collecting higher rentals than he was @ year ago, there {s no reason why the city should not get more taxes from him,” Mrs. Hollywood said. ‘Increased valua- tions would give us a larger borrow- ing capacity than we now have, I hope our officials can find a way to profit by the advice The Evening cussing World has given the New York assessors,” | 100 PER CENT, INCREASES ARE | COMMON. | Mrs, Hollywood said that in many cases rentals have been increased 100 per cent, in Mount Vernon, while, al- though It leaves rentals there lower than in New York, the situation is becoming more serious daily. “The housing shortage and the at- tendant rent profiteering are really New York's troubles, They are be- ing passed on to our people to a great extent, and we need the same pro- tect that is planned for New York.” Mrs, Carrie R, Thomas, No, 352 South Broadway, Yonkers, intends to lead a delegation of protesting rent payers to Albany, if she recuperates sufficiently from serious _{llness which sent her to @ hospital following a vigorous campaign in behalf of | Yonkers tenants, Mrs, Thomas now lives In her own home, bought after to move from an| she was obliged upartment she occupied at No, 70 Radford Street, Yonkers, Mra. ‘Thomas lost a son in the army during the war. “We need the same protection plan- ned for the tenants of New York | City,” Mrs. Thomas said. “Our po- «lion is even worse than that in New (Continued on Thirteenth Page.) | ALL OUT OF THE “EATS.” | Bread and Butter Gobbied Up tn| Hestaurants Near Bridge. | ‘The small restaurants in the vicinity of the Interborough Terminals in Brook- lyn and about the bridge entrances on Doth sides of the river were eaten out of thelr last slice of bread and last pat of butter long before the ending of their normal breakfast hour.
