Defendants' motion to dismiss the above petition alleges that the statutes of the *8 United States upon which plaintiffs rely for their cause of action provide that such action must be brought within one year from the date of the overcharge of rent; that the petition states the rent was paid October 24, 1949, and the summons of this cause shows issuance on January 31, 1951, more than one year after the payment of said overcharge; that the records concerning the ceiling rental rates under such statutes are public and open to the plaintiffs as well as to the defendants; that defendants were not advised of such ceiling rate at the time of making the lease, nor until this suit was filed; that the ceiling rate has since been raised by the area rent director to $110 a month, which now prevails.
