THE MOKKISG OREGON IAN, TUUltSiJAV, AI'RIIj 22, 1920 Consideration of the anti-rent prof iteering ordinance, introduced to the city council, by Mayor Baker, was postponed yesterday until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.. Commissioner Bigfelow was responsible for the de lay, asking for time to study the ordinance. He first sought a week's delay but modified his request. The ordinance which authorizes the mayor to appoint a fair rental com mission, composed of three persons not Interested in any way in the ho tel, apartment house or rental busi ness, and which gives this commis sion unstinted authority to investi gate and fix fair rental prices, was read. , Powers Held Ample. Deputy City Attorney Ackay, its author, in response to a question from Commissioner Bigelow, said that he believed that the city possessed po lice power to regulate rents, when conditions made such regulation a matter of public interest. The ordinance, which he admitted was drastic in many particulars, he said was taken from similar ordi nances enacted in other cities, and from the congressional rent regula tion imposed on the "District of Co lumbia. Obnoxious features of all such ordinances were omitted from the Portland draft, he explained. Mayor Baker made it clear that he would not stop until unfair rentals were curbed. Investigation, he said, proved that many cases of unfair rentals exist and the public is en titled to relief. Ordinance Srlra "rath. "The time has arrived when some one must move in," said Mayor Baker. "I instructed the city attorney to draft an ordinance covering the un fair rental subject and to make it constitutional, if possible. Honest persons will have nothing to fear from the ordinance. Others should be shown up. The ordinance is not a popular one. I have been called up " and damned more in the last week than any similar period during my administration. '"But the complaints which have been coming to the city attorney's office plainly show that unfairness and injustice prevail among some of our landlords. All landlords are en titled to a fair return on their invest ment. There is no attempt to deny this fact. But take a case where two small unfurnished rooms and a bath, which brought J20 a month two years ago, are now held for (55 a month; it is criminal." Only One to Be Paid. The ordinance read yesterday pro Tides for the appointment of three nersona - on the commission, one of whom shall be a public accountant, who alone will receive compensation for his services. - The commission would have to uti lise legal service from the city at torney's office and clerical help from the civil service bure" of the city. Power to examine books, papers and other similar property of landlords is . granted to the commission, as is the nower to nlafft witnesnes nn nnth. The ordinance would be effective for two years, as it is declared to be temporary legislation, brought about by the influx of workers to Portland during the war period.
