TENANTS ASSAIL FLIMSY EXCUSE (Continued From Page One.) per cent, increase In fuel of nearly 200 per cent, and, In fact, Increases in cost of all elements of overhead expeuses entering into the proposition. "Your rent has been increased from $55 to $65. A lease for one year from Jan. I, 1921, will be given if desired. "Regretting the necessity of taking this action, but trusting that, under the circumstances, you wLI appreciate the necessity of so doing, we are, Very truly yours.” Tenants in the building, of course, leallze that the assigned causes for the Increase in rental are without foundation in fact. They know that there has been no increase in the assessment of the property for taxation, for the property did not exist when the last assessment wag made by the taxing officials and no assessment on it is possible under the law until Match 1, 1921. They also know that the price of coal has declined instead of advancing aud they know that there is no basis of comparison on which to Justify the "200 per cent increase" statement, Inasmuch as the apartment did not exist last winter. Mahony, assistant treasurer, gave a different explanation of the increase in the rentals. He said the building had cost more to erect than was expected. When asked if the tenants had been notified to that effect when they moved Into the apartments, for which some of them had waited several months, he said they had been notified shortly after they moved in. DENOUNCED A8 PROFITEERING. Tenants are denouncing the increased rentals as pure profiteering. They as sert that they were advised of the lower rentals and their money was taken before the building wjs completed at a rental rate which is now being raised without Justification, after they have established themselves in the apartments. The attitude of the agent Is expressed In a statement in which he says: "I have done everything to make It

Just because they are in the place they think they can scare us. I am confident that when it comes to moving out and all the trouble of hunting another house, they can neither find anything as satisfactory nor will they take the trouble.”
