Martin. ipcrintender.t cf the Uronx Tenement Homo Department, "and I l:ave no doubt but that many other ctlons will have whole colonics of t' nt dwellers after May 1. In view i r the anticipated increased demand fr tentage. especially by envlcted families, I hhall write to the War Department for sufficient canvas to neet all possible need In the Bronx". More Ilflicultlc Kirwtl'sl. On top of the present housing .shortage looms the prospect of the usual horde of pleasure Keekers, ii. any of them with abundant war profits or earning-, who are coming to th metropolis for their summer utlr.g. Some of thec will offer landlords attractive prices for temporary quarters and, where tenants jiro occupying apartments from month to month and paying exorbitant rents, the reHult is expected to be an Increased number of evictions on May 1 and June. 1. Kvaslon cf the anti-rent profiteering laws recently pawed at Albany is a common charge in many cases against landlords up for trial in the .Municipal Courts. Thousands of tenement "owners" to circumvent the law which compels the landlords to prove their rights to rai.se i nts more than 25 percent a year, have notified tenantH to vacate their

property by September 1. Then they plan to rent the apartments to the

h'yhest bidders.

Startling Statistics. An indication of the competition

for shelter in New York is afforded i-y the Tenement House Department figures which show that, due to light building and t!ie remodelling of one-time tenements into more profitable, business structures, them are today actually fewer apartments in th city than there were this time a year ago. On January 1, 1919 there were 98 3.139 living apartments In New York, large, enough approximately for 2, 9.11, 704 persons. Under the law. it must be remembered, a "tenement" may mean a building on Riverside Drive as well as In the, lower Hast Side. Since January 1. tjie city has had an estimated InTease of 5.1S.604 In population but the building construction which has been done dnee that date is suiffiont to house only 455.490 persons, according to the real estate board. Meanwhile the war is over and tralnloads of oil. steel, lumber and automobile men and thousands of other prosperous Americans are said to be planning to Invade the ('treat "White. Way.

prices for accommodations. All or which gives joy to the landlord and real estate dealer who see visions of a bountiful harvest. So while tired mothers with babies in arms, leave baby carriage outside courtroom doors, and with worried husbands plead against eviction from their homes the magistrates afUr granting them temporary stays, postpone the hearings to "read up" on the new legislation put through at Albany. And while Mayor Dylan's committee struggle for a solution of the complicated problem, city marshals accuse each other of profiteering in the eviction cases. Hundreds of men. said to be without authority, were also reported posing as "marshals" and serving dis-pos.vesxion '- tice. some of them "earning" aa high as $2.000 n month.
