OPA RENT PLAN
TERMED UNFAIR
Chamber Of Commerce
Asks For Investigation
Of Local Conditions
Calling the OPA rent control
“freezing" date here a ‘‘discrimina
tion against our community," the
board of directors of the chamber
of commerce Wednesday adopted a
resolution asking that a “proper
and thorough investigation be made
of local conditions” and an adjust
ment satisfactory to both tenants
and property owners be made.
It was drawn at the request of
Representative J. Bayard Clark, of
Fayetteville, who had asked that
representative groups in the city
and county express their view on
the handling of rent ceilings here.
The resolution will be handed to a
Congressional committee now study
ing the matter of adjustments.
While an investigation was asked
so that “inequalities may be rem
edied,” it was admitted that “in
such an adjustment perhaps it will
be found that some properties rent
above their normal value, whereas
other properties are entirely too
low.”
It was pointed out that “this
should result in the bringing about
of an equitable basis for determin
ing all rental values.”
An adjustment, it was said, will
“result in the availability of addi
tional living accommodations to as
sist in caring for the great influx
of people,” thereby contributing to
the war effort.
The resolution was drawn up by
a special committee appointed by
the board, comprised of W. A. Fon
vielle, chairman, N. L. Foy, and J.
G. Thornton.
The full text of the resolution
follows:
“Be it resolved that the Greater
Wilmington Chamber of Commerce,
realizing the necessity of rent con
the smaller types of hand arms,
bombs, fuses and signal flares. His
ability to repair, assemble and shoot
with accuracy any of the light
weapons is shown by his high honor
grades.
Commander Edward E. Dolecek,
a Pacific battle veteran now serv
ing as the commanding officer at
the gunnery school, commended the
top ranking graduates upon their
application and concentration
throughout the intensive training
period. Smith may now be sent to
one of the important war fronts for
active combat duty.

trol in all defense communities to
avoid inflation, to better serve the
war effort, and knowing that our
citizens locally, both tenants and
property owners, have shown every
spirit of cooperation in connection
with the rent control order, feel
that it is its duty to state that the
freezing date in our community,
namely April 1, 1941 (actually Octo
ber, 1940, due to the fact that most
leases were in effect at that time) is
a discrimination against our com
munity.
Further that the inequalities
which now exist, both from a ten

point, are in our opinion creating a
hardship upon many of our citi

and thorough investigation be made
of local conditions in order that
these inequalities may be remedied
and we may have an adjustment
satisfactory to both tenants and
property owners. In such an adjust

some properties rent at above their
normal value, whereas other prop

But you’ll do better for yourself (and with no loss of

that will stand remodelling after their first term of

colors that fit into your present wardrobe — that will
