Boquiries in official quarters, says the Singapore Free Press showed tha the present inclination of the landlords won cousidared inevitable following to increase the rents of their properties upon the withdrawal of the Rens Restriction Ordinance and the con-- sequent cessation of the Surveillance of the Rent Control Beard, which, during the four years of its existence performed a greatly appreciated ser vies in keeping ranta down to a reason.. able level. The view was, however, a36- pressed in an authoritative source that therituation would right itself, thoug
all
it was impossible to tell how Togg it would take, as much a situation kad... never previously arisen. The inattega was thus aptly pak: “You have goti to have the tooth out some time.. Rent restriction could not go on for pver. It may have done good- think it has-but the only, way of righting the situation is by increased building. There is a building boom in progress at the present time, there isan immense amount of building. going on. Houses, are going up Landlords over the town.

Taese ars indications that tenant- am not taking it lying down for many of them ark building their own houses. The Rent Restriction Ordinance b a kept renta far below what they would otherwise havh bien, when, with the population growing during the boom, there wAN no building because coils were too high. Large no.abers of houses are bring built.
THE BUILDING BOOM.
This lart statement was amplifield by a building official who said thas everything showed that there was a | distiest building baum at the present-
time.
The view was expresied that the only anlation to the situation-which was likely to give considérable trouble before the end came in view-EN A State sided scheme, of building, similar to that adopted in England, where a somewhat similar situation had arisen. Such a scheme, it was contanded, would lead to the con- straction of permanent dwellings of m far better type than those now being built,
Complaints bad becu received, an ass sarunt official said, from people who had received notics of rent increage. In one case it was ascrɣ- tained that one. landlord had given notion of a two hundred per cent increase. None of these reported instances concerned the large property owners. It was -pointed-out-that landlords could not expect to recëivo some of the inerasce, they wer demanding and that it was only s matter of negotiation for: terms, more or lote reasonable, to be casts the 'anived at.. In some demande were justifiable for in these inslunca landlords had not, be a in receipt of reasonable, rents. The a was a'enosi 'crable' paber of chop-
| houses vacact at the present time, hus it was agreed that this might quite easily be due to the demands of the- landlords of those properties. - It was al-o painted out that as the Oalinanoo did not ceare to operate until Decem- ber 31, all notice served before that date were floral and that as full calendar month'e naties must-haves given, increases cou'd not take effect until Maral 1.
