- Description:
- The document is from Miss Edith McCormick-Stephenson to Honorable George Schwabe, expressing concern about her rent being raised from $32.50 to $50 per month. She believes the increase is unreasonable given her salary and financial situation. She urges Schwabe to support a bill for price control to prevent citizens from resorting to illegal activities to survive. Schwabe responds, stating that he cannot pass judgment on the rent increase without knowing the full circumstances, but acknowledges the complaints about rent control and expresses skepticism about government regulation of salaries and rents.
