Attorney General Says
Special Act Necessary
To Provide Representa
tion for New Ward
-»
State Attorney General Harry
McCulIan, investigating the ap
pointment of new councilmen to
the Plymouth town board at the
request of city officials, has stat
ed that according to the town’s
charter of 1915, the membership
of the council is limited to six
members and since the present
board is so composed, no vacancy
exists and no new councilmen
may be appointed to the board no
matter how many new wards are
created through expansion of the
town.
McMulIan pointed out that the
only way now open to secure
representation in the local gov
ernment for the fourth ward
would be to have the town char
ter amended with provision for
an increased board membership
Ior a reallocation of the number
of councilmen from each ward.
I Such action, he said, would re
quire a special act of the State
General Assembly which will not
reconvenes until 1949. The letter
t from Mr. Mullan was received
5 here this morning.
’ Reasons given by Mayor A. J.
f Riddle for the investigation by
the attorney general was that
original plans for the appoint
ment had included the naming of
’ two men from the new forth
ward but it was discovered that
the municipal laws limit the
1 membership of town governing
r boards to seven.
As matters now stand, no ap
nointment at all is likelv to be
„ made from the new fourth ward.
' Cecil Carter had been unani
” mously recommended by the res
a idents of the Country Club Vil
' lage portion of the fourth ward
” division of Plymouth for appoint
“ ment by the town council to serve
~ as representative from that dis
a trict to the council, the recom
^ mendation being made at a meet
j ing of the people in that area in
♦he R. L. LaCoy home there last
Thursday night.
y An alternate plan for represen
e tation to the town council, sug
r gested to Mayor Riddle, has been
rj the reallocation of the number of
representatives to the board, al
lowing the election of one council
man from each of the four wards
and one member from the town
at large, giving the body a total
^ membership of five. The mini
j mum number allowed is three.

county courthouse in Plymouth
today for the purpose of inter
viewing applicants for the posi

Rent Controls To
Remain in Effect
-
Clerk Asks Landlords,
Renters to Appea*- at
Office Before Changing
Present Rent Set-Ups
-♦
With the signing of the new
rent control bill by President
Harry Truman on Monday of this
week, federal controls in rental
housing areas were given eight
more months of life, extending
the law until March 1, 1948. The
old rent control bill was sche
duled to die at midnight on Mon
day.
The prime provision of the new
bill is a section which would per
mit an increase of 15 per cent in
rentals with a lease running
through December 31 of next
year, if both landlord and tenant
“mutually agree." Local landlords
have stated that they are not
planning to approach their ten
ants with such a proposition since
they consider the extended-lease
part a bit too binding. They have
indicated a preference to wait
until the bill dies next March
before making any rise in rent
rates.
Mrs. Sabrie Reid, chief clerk at
the local rent office has request
ed that if landlords and tenants
contemplate rental increases they
should appear at the rent office
in the county courthouse before
the raise becomes effective so
that necessary registrations may
be made.
Other provisions of the new bill
are as follows:
Landlords may secure evictions
by going straight to the courts
and seeking an eviction notice.
Evictions are permitted if the
tenant is not of good moral
character, if the landlord wants
the property for his own use,
wants to remodel or demolish it,
or wants to sell it to someone who
will then move in.
Local boards are to be named
by the Federal Housing Expediter
who may, through recommenda
tion to the area director, wipe out
all controls in areas they think
best. Tenants may sue landlords
for triple damages for over-charg
es but the area director may not.
Government controls over non
residential buildings are ended
except in the case of amusement J
or recreation projects.
