REASONABLE RENT IS DEFINED BY COURT Return of Ten Per Cent. on Present Value of House Just. New York, Sept, 2.--The problem of the definition of 'reasonable rent," which has been the subject of great j controversy in the municipal courts fsihce the amendments to the new rent laws were adopted, was settled by the Appellate Division of the Brooklyn Supreme Court, which rul- ed that a reasoriable rent was a re- turn of 10 per cent. on the present value of a house. In an opinion written by Justice Shelby and concurred in by Justices Cropsey and Lazansky, five rules, in- tended for the guidance of mynicipal courts, are promulgated. They are: (1) Determine. the present fair market value of the premises. (2) Determine the gross rentals démanded by the landlord. (3) Determine the allowable oper- ating expenses for the past year. (4) Deduct from the gross rentals the operating expenses, and this will give the net rental. (6) If this net rental does not excepd 10 per cent. of the present value 'of the property, then the rent demanded is not unreasonable. The reasonableness of a rent charge may vary under changing financial condi- tions.

During these | | four years the cost of production has | increased from 200 to 300 per cent., | while the income is practically the same. This Las caused the suspen- | sion or amalgamation of over 200 | newspapers past few years. | ""The reason the newspaper grave- | yard is so full is shown by an editor i who has been investigating the cause | {of the high mortality. He figures out | that in 1907 wages were at a 100. | |In 1914, they had advanced 178, and {in 1921, the figure was 393. News- | | print from 100 jumped to 177 in 11914, and to 628 'in 1921. News- | paper postage, which cost the normal | of 100 in 1907, was 147 in 1914, and 337 in 1921. Ink was 100 in 1908; | #00 ia 1914, and today stands at 331.
