Sedalia Rent Control Reinstituted Amid Base Relocation
Sedalia receives word that rent stabilization measures are to be activated under public law 96 following the base re activation of Sedalia Air Force Base. The move aims to curb housing shortages and potential rent hikes that could hamper defense operations in Pettis and Johnson counties. The Office of Rent Stabilization will set a registration date and may apply controls to new and decontrolled units, with hotels and motels possibly affected. Affected landlords should consult officials for impact details and the Johnson County inclusion is noted. Capt Roswell L Beach, stationed at Ft Worden, Washington, returns to duty in Germany after a long service and family update.
