RENTS IN SYDNEY.
LABOUR COUNCIL DEPUTATION. By Teleffraph—Press Association-Copyright (Roe. January 10, 9.5 p.m.) Sydney, January 10. A Labour Council deputation asked Mr. Beeby to introduce a Limitation of Bents (Bill, with the view of alleviating the distress amongst workers, consequent on the high rents. They tendered much information on the difficulties of obtaining houses and the extortionate demands of landlords. Another plea was that the continued influx of immigrants would have to be reckoned with. Hr! Booby admitted that the question was of extreme urgency. Next month the Government would introduce a Bill to enable it to erett houses. The only way out of tlio difficulty was for the State to become a competitor with landlords. He regretted that the deputation had not furnished a practical scheme of limiting rents; if a workable scheme were submitted tho Government would consider it.
