The first apartments! to fall under the committee's weapon of publicity were the Hanover. 187 King street, operated by Miss Altura Dorcas and O. A. Boone, and the Classic. 604 Gliean street, oper ated by N. D. Hendry. ; -HALES BOOST PRICKR The lease and furniture of the Han over were sold in March, 1919, for $9000, In ; August of the ' (same year, they were resold for Itl.OOflj. which caused' a rise in rents. Later the.leajse and furni ture sold for J16.000 and again for $21. 000. The lease epireswlthin J6 months and the owner admitted he would get ?5.000 for it. ! Reselling and pyramiding of leases, ays the committee, is responsible in large measure for high rents. Landlords buy leases and furniture readily, often lose money, and to make up the deficit are forced to raise rents- The lease and rurnlture of the Classic apartments originally sold for $3500, the committee was told. Two months ago it sold for $12,000 and was resold last Tues day for $11.0,00. The last landlord was forced to sell at a loss to pay creditors. The lease expires in four years. Rent of apartments . have Increased JOfr per cent at the Classic in two years, said the committee. ; OWNERS EXONERATED Actual owners of apartment buildings I are not engaged in profiteering -as far as the committee has been able to de ' t ermine.
