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

‘Shot In Arm’ At
Interest in mining vocational
training in the area underwent
a definite revival at the meeting
of Ebensburg Council, Joseph A.
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,
