Landlord's Attempt to Boost Rates Is Blocked by Order of Court. Louis J.

He is the first landlord to got ® favorable decision in rent cases in Queens under the new laws, According to the testimony the prop- erty is valued at $150,000 and Balzer’ equity amounts to $64,000. The Sep- tember rents were from $29.60 to $38 a month, giving Balzer @ net income of $5,439.93. He demanded an Increase of from $7 to $10. Judge Hazelton de- cided that was too much, but that Balzer wan entitled to a net income of 10 per cent. of his equity, or $6,400, He ordered each tenant to pay an increase of $1.67 over the rent pald In Beptem- ber. Has Slogan of His Own, Roth parties having made slogans a feature of this year’s campaign, John C, Dorovan, Democratic candidate for the Assembly in the 5th District of | Queens, adopted one of his own—'Vol- unteered for war of bullets, drafted for war of ballots.” Donovan, a atudent at Fordham University, served with both Water Supply and had been used in aqueduct work. The Comptroller just appropriated it without authority. “Tell us about the Stites you use for joy riding,” said the Comptroller, “Don't answer him, Grover,” inter- Je ected Mayor Hylan, Whalen explained later that the Comptroller had once seen him riding in the car referred to. He was ac- companied by a woman newspaper writer seeking material for a special article, In going over the tudget of the Finance Department of which he |s head the Comptroller announced that he was in a position to announce reduction® aggregating $97,979. He explained that In 19f7 there were 467 employees in his department, $49 in 1918, 782 in 1919, 805 in 1920 and that in 1921 there would be 846, or 11 Jess than in 1917, This reduction would Ue in effect, he sald, despite the fact that the work of the department has Increased 100 per cent. President La Guardia sprang a gur- prise by announcing that he had dis- covered @ group of new positions in the Finance Department and he moved that inasmuch as all other departments were economizing the Comptroller should do likewise, The new jobs referred to consist of one actuary accountant at $8,000 a year, one title examiner at $3,000 a year, one title examiner at $2,700 a year, five at $2,600 @ 3 at $3,600 a ear, It was explained that the new staff was needed to check up the.pen- sion funds running into the millions and to look after titles to city prop- ert We have sufficient forces In the Board of Hetimate to do the work, not to speak of such excellent city employees as Duncan Macinness and Bob McIntyre In the Finance Depart- ment, who, by the way, were not put there by the Compproiler,” said La Guardia, “There are many pleces of property which the city doesn't know whether or not it owns,” raid Mayor Hylan tn defense of the new Finance Depart- ment Jobs. ‘The Comptrotler added that amounta areiguating $72,000,000 are involved in Ye teachers’ pension fund, ia which 24,000 teachers are concerned. Beasldes, there is a pension fund af- fecting 20,000 city employees, he added. “There are still other complications which must be made clear,” went on the Comptroller. “I understand from the Police Commisstoner that there has been a 20 per cent. pension in- crease tmsed on salary increases, If don’t understand how that conclusion can be arrived at; only an actuary accountant can. That's why we need one “Dest what the Comptroller fays,” argued Manhattan Borough President Curran tn defense of Presi- dent La Guardia’s contention, “I don't see the necessity for eleven new pos: tions, Mr. La Guardia Is right when contends that !t is against our policy to create new positions with @ slag- gering budget facing us.” Despite the objections of the two Republican members of the Board the solid Democratic majority voted for the eleven new jobs. La Guardia met the same fate when he attempted to eliminate another flock of new jobs in the Co office, omy his lone Republi league Curran voting with him. These Jobs consist of eight accountants at $2,760 euch, seventeen bookkcepers at $1,800 each, three examiners at i each and one telephone operator at $1,500, La Guardia contended that the Comptrolier, the chief financial officer of the city, admitted openly that he didn't understand the pension fund under his supervision, La Guardia persisted in attacking expenses in the Finance Department. Ho figured that it cost $2,300 @ year to run on® car there without Including the salary of the chauffeur, The Comptroller said he personally didn’t use the car mentioned, and said he had two cars of his own and never charged the city a cent for chauffeur or gasoline. La rdia was once more defeated when he attempted to deprive the Comptroller of mainten- ance charges for the Finance Depart- ment car, Mayor Hylan and Presi- dent Curran voted with him on this occasion. President Curran followed La Guartia's example of searching for now jobs hidden away in the 1921 budget and succeeded in finding twen- ty-five in the Bureau of Preven- tion. They bonsiated of ten new fire prevention inapectorships and fifteen combustibles inspectors hips The Mayor voted with Curran to eliminate these positions, which he succeeded in doing. The Comptroller decided to Ko La Guardia and Curran one better and moved that the municipal garage be abolished, He said it cost more to run it than under the old sy when each department had its wn French and Ameriéan Armies in the Fordham ambulance outfit, fe the opinion of al taken the other day of @ group of Nyack High School girls in very stagey, ry cho costumes, the movie that used some of the church people to tation, was Wentified ax that of Mra, [Of her finnes, almost at the same hour, Sead tume Ne fit Ot ‘Anna Kalan, thirty-four, of No, 2544|AMlae Ingersoll te the daughter of O°) VkONeh Bes mT soutte Thureday night from ‘Combs Sant-|Ingersoll Watch Company, and wan to at y <5 H 2] tariam, Corona, cladsonly in @ night-| have scom married William Setcerer jr, but he adds that if there Is it will be ;obe and a pulr of men's shoes, Bast Orange, son of the President’ of J.D, Bvans of thi The body, when identifed by Dr.| the U National Bank, Newark, calls It an "outrage.

MISTAKE MADE IN LETTING HOMER CUMMINGS GO. Homer §. Cummings was the man who wanted the whole campaign pitched on the League issue. George White, who has done a wonderful piece of work against heavy odds, | was not able to learn the ropes and get into action quickly enough to head off the Republican opposition. Moreover, Gov, Cox did not soon enough make himgelf clear on the wet question and tackle domestic questions. Only late in the campaign did he outline that he would not have the same kind of Cabinet as has been In power in Washington in the last fow years, But he, too, had embar- ragaments—the Republicans would have been quick to take advantage of any apparent break with the Ad- ministration, It waa a hard job for the Governor of Ohlo and his best friends will be sorry that he had to be offered up aa the sacrifice if this cam pa gn, Fundamentally, there has been an- other weakness in the Democratic campaign.
