Metropolitan rent control debated in Virginia
A delegation from Alexandria and Arlington urged Governor Darden to establish local rent boards rather than rely on federal authority. The Office of Price Administration has set a price ceiling based on January 1, 1941 rents under a 1942 General Assembly act. The governor can form local boards but has postponed action due to federal ceilings and has 60 days from the OPA order to act, until June 28.
