Rents Normal Here in Lawrence Amid School Openings
Lawrence rent levels remain steady with no immediate hikes forecast unless a national defense project comes nearby. Realtors report conditions about normal with 13 houses rented yesterday at 30 to 40 dollars monthly, a typical range. Demand for housing is rising as schools reopen, with yearly rentals expected similar to last year. Some fear defense industry growth could pull families away, while others expect local families to offset losses. If a powder bag loading plant is built at Eudora, rents are expected to rise automatically.

A dispute over sectional wage differentials led to a Washington conference request after Aluminum Company of America rejected demands.
