statement of the. fact-the conferences
Enthusiastically has left it open, now
MANY years purchase of his rent a
tenant NAV have to pay in order to
get the benefit of the Mansion Rouse
scheme-that is to say. it has been leIC
an absolutely open question how many
years purchase he may have 10 pay
which, in other terms, is merely say
ing that it has been left open now
many years he may have to continue
making his yearly payments.
NV view, right or wrong as IL may
be- has been throughout, that. given
really good yearly reduction the
length of the term over which the
YEARLY payments may have to extend
is a matter of very secondary import
ance.
1 infer, however. that this is not MI.
Russell's view. Apparently it is very
far from being the view taken by MI
O'Rrien. But, between them, they nave
left this question of the number OF
; years purchase-in other words, the
length of the period over which the
payments are to extend-quite unde-
! fined in the scheme. They have oeen
drawn by the capable representatives
of the landlord interest into pledgins
themselves most definitely as to the
minimum sum that the landlord is to
get. They utterly failed-and oddly
| enough, even Mr.. Russell does not yet
seem to be aware that they did fail
in drawing the landlords representa-
| tives into committing themselves INTO
anv statement as to the maximum
price that the tenant could be called
upon to pay.
