amounts to- a letter to the attorneys In

feet in Broadway OF 16S feet in 33d-st., and
a depth OF $50 feet Harrison Grey Fiske has
been the lessee of the property for some years
His lease will expire May /, 1907. Though
no one identified with the tunnel company would
confirm or deny the report il was learned from
a trustworthy source that the tunnel company
had secured the property.
That the tunnel company would ultimately be-
come the owner of the property and the other
parcels forming the block front on the west side
of Broadway from 32d 10 SD ST appeared
certainty two years ago. when the tunnel
company announced that it would build 9th
ave. spur to its Morton-st tunnel route between
Manhattan and Ncw-Jersey. on November 20
the company began an action TO acquire through
condemnation proceedings the fee simple of the
block front. Since that time, however. its agents
nave been busy acquiring the parcels, and III
they succeed in purchasing the Trainor's Hotel
property at the southwest of 33d-st and Broad

hotel property is owned by F, A. Morrison
In 1873, theatre was built on the Shepard
parcel. 1t was called the Standard. 'Pinafore'
was one of the early productions on its stage.
Ten years after il was opened that theatre
destroyed by fire. and the present theatre and
office building erected the site. About five
years ago, Harrison Grey Ftske became the
lessee and manager of the theatre. He will not
have TO Vacate the property until his lease eX-
pires. when the building will be torn down and
a tunnel terminal station erected on the site
Mr. Fiske has not Yet decided on a site for
a theatre. He has had under consideration
number of projects which were placed before
