Saulsbury rent law hardship debated in Congress
An effort to revive Saulsbury district rent resolution hinges on conferees from the Senate and House agreeing to report an antiprofiteering rent bill back to their chambers. The Saulsbury measure preserves the prior rental status but blocks landlords from recovering property taken in good faith for a fixed term, a defect lawmakers seek to fix. A conference on the food stimulation bill is scheduled, possibly delaying action until after elections. Swift & Company’s Washington DC seafood division reports Fresh Pork ending Oct 15 at 19.17 cents per pound.
