THE DETROIT TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1941
Committees
Will Investigate
Increases
John Dancy
Named Head Os
One Unit
Another blep toward choking the
efforts of gougiug landlords to
c.ont inuc their steady int l ease in
r> lit was made Tuesday night When
ihe Common Councils Rent com
mittee appointed three sub-commit
tees to probe into the protests
lodged by tenants.
The three committees will be
headed by Recorder's Court Judge
Joseph a. Gillis, Mrs. Josephine
Gotnou and John C. Dancy, execu
tive secretary of the Detroit Ur
ban league.
The office of the three subcom
mittees will he with the Detroit
Housing Commission, and a clerk
from the WPA, NY A, or Council
will be employed to list the com
plaints lodged by tenants. ’
The Common Council Kent com
mittee. headed by Council President
John w. Smith, was created last
Fall following numerous protests
made by tenants about the steady
increase in rents, a number of
open hearings were held in the
Council chambers, tenants and
landlords voicing their opinions.
Several laws were drafted for
the purpose of introduction to the
Legislature, with the hope that
passing of*thes • laws would throt
tle efforts of landlords to continue
the hiking of rents. Rut none of
Hie dratted laws rent lied the floor
ol either the House or Senate.
Probably the most seriously
hurt by the continued increase in
i ••ntr are those who live within Ihe
>o-i all'll slum area colored peo
ple. Rents in this section have been
enjoying a steady Increase since
early last year, and there are no
Indications that this Increase will
'•'op, in many instances the rents
have been raisid almost 100 per
»cut.
