Ninth Floors: Basement Balcony. What Are Your Needs for Today Tomorrow Any Time? G. G. ROHRER BACKS MOVE Addresses Made by R. G. E. Cornisb on Legal Phases and Professor Hastings, of Reed, on Atti tude of Owner to Tenant. On the flood of enthusiasm en tendered by a number of forceful talks tending: to show that Portland property owners are not g-etting; adequate rentals despite the fact that desirable locations are scarce, G. G. Rohrer, chairman of the. rental committee of the Portland Kealty Board, presented a resolution at yesterday's meeting of that organization at the Hotel Benson which was calculated to bring about Increased rentals generally throughout the city. After heated debate the resolution was tabled, but none of the realtors yielded in his belief that rents are now too low in Portland and none relin quished his ripht to urge increased rentals as an individual. Mr. Rohrers resolution did not fail for want of sympathy among the members of the Kealty Board, but rather on account of a somewhat suppressed feeling: that an organized stand for increased rentals would inspire censure and criticism against the board as an organization. Rental Keport Submitted. At the outset of yesterday's meeting the chairman of the day, Mr. Rohrer, rad a comprehensive report of the rental committee, estimating that there are at the present time only 73 vacant apartment suites in the city of Port land, and about 1200 vacant properties. Including residences and stores. as compared with 4.U0 vacancies shown in the committee's report of January last. Mr. Rohrer's report also set form that rents throughout the city in the residence district have increased since the first of the year from 5 to 20 per cent and that business rentals have in creased from 25 to 35 per cent. Apartment-house rentals have increased from 1 to $5.50. the report adds. "We find that in a great many cases there are lontt waiting lists for apart ments, as hish as 40 being reported in one instance, while in others the houses are constantly filled, eliminating the necessity of waiting lists," said Mr. Kohrer. Two Addresses Heard. Following a talk by Regnelle G. E. Cornish, Portland attorney and special contributor to The Sunday Oregonian, on "The Legal Relation Between Land lord and Tenant." and an address by Professor Hastings, of Reed College, on "Why Should a Property Owner Con tribute to the Support of His Tenant?" the debate over the advisability of launching an organized increase of rentals was precipitated. Opposition to the resolution was led by J. Fred Ktaver. Professor Hastings produced figures tending to show that the owner of resi dence property must get a rent of 13 per cent on a fiair valuation if he is to obtain tn adequate return on his in vestment. He allotted 6 per cent for Interest. 1 per cent for taxes, S per cent for insurance, repairs and depre ciation, 1 per cent allowance for vacancies and bad collections, and 1 per cent for probable loss due to a. change In the character of the resi dence district. Rentins Declared Cheapest Way. Professor Hastings cited numerous Instances to prove that Portland resi dence properties are not bringing 13 per cent on the investment and openly declared that, under nresent conditions, it is cheaper, in the terms of dollars and cents, to rent than to own a home. He pleaded that the "soft pedal" be placed on the "helter-skelter" construc tion of homes for rent In outlying residence districts and laid much of the blame for the present conditions to the operations of companies, and in dividuals who have built homes for rent on speculation. In his talk on the legal relation be tween landlord and tenant Mr. Cornish dispelled the impression which seems to-be abroad, that leases in Oregon serve to protect the tenant without ruarding the Interests of the landlord. He also explained that the law in Oregon prescribes that a tenant cannot make repairs on property at the ex pense of the landlord.

CHURCH DOCTRINE IS TOPIC Roman Catholic Lecturer Discusses Transubstantiation. Rev. Jomes Gillis. who is conducting a series of non-Catholic lectures at the St. Mary's Cathedral, last night took for his subject "The True Doctrine of Holy Communion." The lectara was explanatory of the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation. Zn oart he sa;d: "The doctrine of transubstantiation Is marvelous indeed, yet by no means Incredible, for we must remember that it Is believed by at least 400,0)0.000 Christian people of today. It has been believed by persons a thousand times as many since the day of Christ, and was believed for approximately 1500 years by all Christians." Marsbrield Foundryman Dead. MARSHFIELD, Or..
