Tenants Opposing Cut

In Their Rentals Here

How many times have you heard a landlord say, “when a tenant comes to the aid of a landlord, it'll snow in August.” Well, it looks like it's going to snow in August. Elmer F. Lahma nn, 2851 Thompson 'Rd., was told by the Office of Rent Stabilization he would have to lower the rents on his apartment house at 704-6 Virginia « Ave. But his tenants are up in arms They don’t want lower rents. OPS said Mr. Lahmann was charging more rent than landlords in the same area with comparable facilities. Mr. Lahmann told, his tenants he would have to lower the rents and would probably go out of business because he didn’t believe he could break even. He asked them what he should do. They told him to appeal to the rent board. They were willing to pay a higher price for what Mr. Lahmann gave them.

Oppose Rent Cut

In fact, the tedants in the 14apartment building sent representatives down to the rent stabilization office to demand that the rent stay the same. They were told it would be impossible. Then they demanded ORS send out inspectors to look at the apartments and start revising their ideas. ; They said they didn’t like the

sideration. . . One of the tenants, Mrs. Stella Compton, 66, an L. 8S. Ayres & Co. employee for 24 years, was so upset about it all she wrote a letter to The Times. ‘Worked Hard’ She says she has lived in the apartment, house four years and that Mr, Lahmann has worked “real hard to make his apartment much nicer than the other buildings in that area, renting for the same price.” She asks, “Why can’t the landlord be allowed to keep the rent as it has been for the past four years? Unless he is allowed that, he is closing down the building, which means that 14 families will have to move. “Some of us here have gone to the ORS and believe me they are plenty mean, We are all satisfied. Now, why can’t they do right by us?”

have been “thrown at me” during the past week and devote his speeches to telling “how I feel as a matter of conviction.” “I am no medicine man,” he said. “I have no panacea for the troubles we face.” He expressed amazement and how much he was honored that 80 many American people do him the honor to consider him for the presidency. He promised an “honest, decent approach” to the problems of the day and pledged that “such as I have, is yours and the rest of America’s to use as you desire” On his arrival by train the General was greeted warmly by Michigan National Committeeman Arthur Summerfield whose 46vote unpledged delegation to the GOP convention could play a “king maker's” role at Chicago next month. A crowd of about 500 was on hand to greet the General and his wife, Mamie. “Welcome to Michigan, General,” said Mr. Summerfield, who was Gen.

[to fix rates. | Attitude Questioned | The Attorney General questioned the “attitude” of Judge Claycombe in giving Bell the big increases over PSC objections. Mr, McManamon called attention to Judge Claycombe’s own recorded statement that he was approving “rates fixed by the plaintiff (Bell) itself.” “It seems that nothing further is required to show the state of mind of the court (Judge Claycombe) in approaching a decision {of this case,” the Attorney General wrote, “It allowed the utility to fix its own rates, then approved the same and enjoined any interference. “We pause to ask, ‘Upon what meat doth this, our Caesar, feed, that he is grown so great?” Mr, McManamon charged Judge Claycombe’s “act was an abuse of judicial discretion.” Public Counselor Jones also affirmed that fixing rates is not a function of the courts, but of the legislature through the Public | Service Commission. “Utilities play an important role in the community,” Mr. Jones wrote. “They are entitled to fair compensation, and in this brief an attempt has been made not to lost sight of this fact.

‘Certain Advantages’

“However, it must be remembered that a utility has been given certain monopolistic advantages by the people, and by virtue of the privilegesthey enjoy, there is the obligation to render service at a cost commensurate with and based on reason. able standards.” $ In a similar argument, the Attorney General pointed out that the Public Service Law was enacted “to protect the ratepayers from the greed and arvice of utility managers, who were prescribing rates and charges irrespective of the rights of those who
