Mra. von Claussen was divorced from her first husband, Dr, William Francis Honan, in 1905. In 1907 she denounced President Roosevelt and Uhreatened to sue him for $1,000,000. She was arrested some years later in connection with @ threatening let- ter to Charles Strauss, Chairman of the Board of Water Supply, over liti. gation, and after spending six months on Blackwell's Island she was ad- judged insane.

Also of no small tmportance ts the fact that the burden of proof, as pro- vided In such statutes, will devolve on the Jandiord. in other words, he will have to show to the satistaction of the court why he has the rent. The excessive rent will not be collected, either, until the court has fully passed it. This latter provision is somewhat dependent on the Public Service Law, which, upon complaint of an excea- sive rate, cannot be Imposed until a thorough review has been had before the Public Service Commission. Then, again, if the landlord cannot remove ummary disposses pro- ceedings, and he knows tnat his ten- ant can stay for a year or more ao- cording to the Justice's decision, he is not going to issue so many sum- mary dispossess notices as had been the case during the year, These provisions, It 1s deemed, will prove most effective in dealing with the immediate housing troubles, MORE SUGGESTIONS TO BE CON- SIDERED IN THE FUTURE. As to the future, in providing more apartments and encouraging building as well as adjusting rents commen- surate with actual yalues, consider- able thought is being given by legis- Jators to the following provisions: Create a rmanent State agency that will study hewaing, recommend statutes and establis! housing as of constant public concern. Limit the rent of every apart- ment house to 10 per cent. of the valuation of the property from Exempt all new dwellings from taxation for a period of five or je the income tax on mortgages for a simi- lize real estate mortgages janner to Gi \° bonds. These recommendations are made because of the following significant facts thi the pros There apartments in tho city of approxi- mately a 100,000, since residential building was practically stopped dur- ing the war. About 30,000 new apartments are the annual needs of the city fur nor- mal increase of population, About 90 houses, with 2,171 apart- ments, were erected in the first seven months of the present year, During the same time, about 2,000 apartments were converted into other purposes than residences, ' ‘This state of affairs, "In the first half of the year, shows that New York, instead of having normally 24,000 new apartments, has only about 4200. Investments in mortgages have 43- creased in number. that mortgage investments have been withdrawn to the amount of $10,000,- 000, owing to the loss of return on account of the Income tax, ang that such loss represents 2% per cent. of the investment. In many inatances the net return on mortgages have been but 2 and 3 per cent. In view of this, such investors have diverted these moneys to Governmen- tal bonds, which yield a net return of 6 and 6 per cent. since they are exempt from income tax. By elimi- nating the income tax, a net return of 6 or 6 per cent. would be assured the small or large investor of mort- wages. If the mortgage security could be legalized the same as Governmental bonds, a successful drive could be launched to induce the average per- son to invest his small earnings in such securities because he already underteands suoh investments, having purchased war bonds, As to exempting the tax on mort- gages, this would only benefit cor- porations, which place large sums of money, and the State would be the loser. Also, it would be of little profit to the Individual lender, It would not encourage him to lend money on mortgages, since the amount he would eae would be but one-half of 1 per ent. For instance, a $10,000 mortgage, if exempt from mortgage tax, would only mean a saving of $50. A person would not invest such a sum just to save $50 in preference to other sources of Investment where there are larger returns, The subject of the city going into the business of building property for rent is regarded by specialists as a questionable move in view of various Similar experiences, such as the Goy- ernment building houses around shipyards, After spending over $500,- 000,000 in such properties, the Government was forced to sell at less than half the original cost. Another important move in the dl- rection of Federal aid would be that of securing preferential shipments for building materials, since the in- adequate transportation facilities have wotully retarded the completio of many buildings. eee By limiting the rent of every seen house to 10 per cent. the vi ir return to the land- Paar according to the author the proposed bill, eopecially since the plan in this + onnection is to fix the valuation D.PRICEECO.
