Local Landlords Granted Authority to Raise Rents
About 160 Middletown landlords received permission to raise rents by 15 percent this week. Rent control agent Thomas Hynes reported roughly 300 landlords filed triplicate applications and that processing aims for 24 hour turnaround. He noted no tenant complaints in nearby counties and said more requests are likely as word spreads. City officials have not yet decided on extending rent controls before the December 31 deadline.

Federal Court Halts Erie's Anti Red Law
A federal court in Pittsburgh halted Erie Pennsylvania's anti subversive ordinance. Judge J Alger Fee issued a temporary restraining order blocking registration of Communists and subversives, saying the law imposes an unreasonable burden on interstate business. The move follows a petition by the International Workers Order arguing the ordinance harms its insurance operations. The city has not enforced it since September 29, awaiting court resolution.
