Item — Box: 6, Folder: 33

Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_6_33_0017

Scope and Contents

Miss Jessie Bristol Shearer wrote a letter to Congressman George B. Schwabe requesting renewal of rent controls. Schwabe responded by informing her that Congress passed a bill to continue rent controls, but President Truman vetoed it. Schwabe also mentioned that complaints of excessive rents were more common in areas without rent control. Shearer then sent a telegram to Schwabe urging him to protect against losing homes due to the abandonment of rent control.
