H. C. Johnson, 4-county coordina
tor stationed at Camp Adair re
ports that a rent survey of com
munities surrounding the camp will
be started next week by a repre
sentative of the rent division of
OPA.
This investigation is expected to
relieve local authorities and cham
bers of commerce of the problem
of attempting to deal with rent vio
lators, as a rent ceiling is in ef
fect here.
Johnson states that he is advised
by the regional rent attorney that
as a result of this investigation
whatever measures are necessary
to correct the violations will be
placed into effect.
This is brought about, Johnson
points out, due to the unwilling
ness on the part of some landlords
to cooperate with the local boards
already established in the towns
surrounding Camp Adair.
Any complaints that have not
been filed with the coordinator’s
office or with the chamber of com
merce in the respective city should
be so filed in writing within the
next few days.
&
Mr. Frank Bennett, Notary Pub
lic, has offered the services of his
office as Notary to any soldier of
the post with papers or documents
to be notarized.
Mr. Bennett is in the Transpor
tation office at the Post Head
quarters building and his service is
offered gratis.
