Rent Problems Settled Here by OPA Adjuster

W eek ly Visits Here For Benefit o f Both L andlord and Tenant

The problem of explaining the rights of both landlord and tenant under the OPA rent control regula­tions. in settling differences which arise between the two parties, pre­sents few difficulties according to E. P. Dalmnsse Jr.. OPA rent control adjustor and inspector, who is at the Rationing Board here every Wednesday afternoon. Each week

■ he has had a few situatihich c r becau

either landlord or tenant has conception of the law.

Citing the benefits of the OPA regulations to landlords, the OPA adjustor said that all owners of rent­ed property, exclusive of business property and at present summer cot­tages. are required to register with the Rationing Board even if they

ease of boarders the law requires that the room rent be registered,' and the meal charge is covered by the OPA ceiling prices. Property own­ers who have a complaint against a tenant or who wish to readjust a rental have no legal right to redress under the OPA rent control regula­tions if their property is not regis­tered with the board. At present Mr. Dalmasse explained, the OPA is not considering the failure of prop­erty owners to register as wilful neglect, and accordingly subject to a penalty, but a case of neglect or improper information.

Every Wednesday afternoon Mr. Dalmasse is at the Rationing BoardSid will be pleased to explain the

PA rent control regulations to landlords or tenants and also prop­erty owners who have not registered and who wish detailed information regarding the law.

>ver had t<■aising of blown-ovi past hurricane had n ful and no heavy equipment was

this time to raise the trees. He spoke of the scattering de-

this time, in contrast to of fallen trees before. The

total number of trees so far destroy­ed by the village runs to 31, com­prising 19 maples, nine elms, one plane, and two willows. The Mayor ‘ id not believe that the cost of clean- p and repair after this year’s blow 'ould go much over $5,000 and was

glad to report that the Village has •ried hurricane insurance in the

amount of $25,000 since 1938. Mayor lade certain recommenda­

tions for the consideration of the Society:

LVIS should fertilize the Vil­lage Green and should consider1 the installation of a sprinkler system and

additional pump.. LVIS should fertilize Memorial

Green, where the soil is mostly sand, washed in by rains.

3. The Society should not allow ees to be put on the Greens as

Memorials. A memorial fund to take care of all trees is preferable. Trees crowd the Green and spoil its beauty.

4. Many trees, including new and ck ones are urgently in need of ater. A high pressure pump would

send the water directly to the roots do away with the laborious cup­

ping method of watering. This pump :ould likewise be used for spraying

Some of the recommendations of the Mayor had already been con­sidered in committee meetings and others were referred to committees concerned. The Mayor answered questions from members and also thanked the Society for what it is doing. During the discussion the matter of the Old Sheep Pound was brought out and a motion was passed ecommending that the village again ipproach the Strong family as to the purchase of the Old Sheep Pound,

newing the original offer of $2,500. Mrs. William A. Lockwood, new

chairman of the Tree Committee, asked that a resolution of apprecia-

scnt to Mrs. Peters for the many years she has given so much

and attention to the trees. This resolution, presented by Mrs. John

is unanimously adopted to to Mrs. Peters and also . the records of the Society.

Mrs. John Hand was given a vote of thanks for her work in caring for the reports of work done, keeping the books, etc. Mrs. Lockwood went on to explain the workings of the Tree Committee sirtce about 1926 and to show how the work was handled. She also announced five new mem­bers of the committee, Mrs. N. N. Tiffany. Mrs. Howard Morris, Mrs. T. A. Kelly, Mrs. Delos Walker and Mrs. Nathan Dayton.
