from the vllegcd the minorities or the ethnics in order to warrant any merit I say even those with substance have a right to speak surely we ore still living in a Capitalist Country aren we It was stated the rent ers arc like owners because they pay a deposit and a substantial rent supported by a vole in community affairs This must be viewed as a farce The WOO deposit is very similar to the last month rent system In any rental on which is returned upon departure An excellent incentive to leave If one suddenly becomes short of cash The substantial rent well when it is subsidized It looses
