BANS » Rent Control Office Getting Reports 0f Overcharging The area Rent Control Office in Johnstown gets reports each {month on between 30 and 40 landlords who have not register- ed their rental units. And in nearly all cases, says { Leo H. Akers, rent director, the | landlords are overcharging. In many of the cases landlords are not aware of the fact that their units went under rent con- trol as of April 1, 1949, the date the new rent law became effec- tive. In other cases landlords never have registered their units in the seven-year history of rent control, November was a particularly busy month for the rent office at 124 Main Street, Johnstown. A total of 2,386 persons visited the office, 1,596 asked their questions by telephone and 756 made in- quiries by letter or card. That's a bigger volume of service busi- ness than was handled in Octo- er. During the past month 178 petitions to increase rents on 246 units were approved. Nine were denied. The 265 units rented for a total of $5,798 before the boost and $7,393 afterwards. Reductions in rents are some- times ordered too, Mr. AKers said. In November 58 such cases were processed and 30 reductions were «ordered. The first rent charged by the landlord was high- er than the comparable rent per- mitted under the rent law. Of the 79 formal complaints filed by tenants during Novem- ber, nearly all were satisfactorily adjusted through the rent office practice of conference with the landlords involved. Landlords refunded $345.70 as the result of overcharges. Court action is taken only as a last ef- fort after voluntary compliance attempts fail The office is interested evictions on controlled units and they must be cleared through the rent office.

Holmes Association, last Friday night in the Ebensburg Court- house. A committee, which will study ways and means of setting up the educational program in district schools, will be appointed by the council in January. Definite steps to train young men for the industry were taken after members discussed all as- pects of the project. Ira P. Bradley told of the council’s efforts along similar lines a number of years ago. He pointed to the need for additional well-qualified workers in coal mining operations. Joseph W. Hunt, head of the mineral industries extension serv- ice of Pennsylvania State College and E. M. Johnson, principal of Ebensburg-Cambria High School, were the principal speakers. Mr. Hunt reported on the min- Mining Vocational Training Gets Safety Meeting ducted in several area schools. He dwelt particularly on the classes in Meyersdale and Portage. Mr. Johnson described problems of mining instruction as a ‘part of the curriculum. He said the main explained that school districts often can ill afford to pay the can demand. Leonard Timms, superintendent of Ebensburg Coal Company at Colver, discussed the proposal that practical mining men be en- gaged as high school mining in- structors on a part-time basis. The Colver mine was awarded the council's Class A citation for its safety record during Novem- ber. The operation turned out 60,- 000 tons of coal without a lost- time accident. The national aver- age is one mishap per 14,000 tons mined, A motion picture, ‘“‘Under- ground Adventure,” was shown The film was released by the ing education program being con- Bituminous Coal Institute.
