CONTROLS END - * BOARD HAPPY TOO
The end of the Federal Rent Stabilization program wil
be welcome relief to the me . bers of the local rent control
board as well as to some landlords.
The difficult and thankless task of making decisions or
rentals confronted the board on many occasions. Regardless
of their decisions, either the landlord «r the tenant was dis
. -satisfied.
The local members serve! without pay and only through
a sense ot civic duty. H. E. Spencer, Mrs. Tensra Rockney,
James Bennett, Alvin Miller and Walt Muller have received
an expression of gratitude from the director of the program.
K >diak residents should express their thanks too.
