Burnham and company, Chicago
Architects. The building is designed
to cover the Broadway block bound
ed by Nassau, Pine and Cedar streets.
Although the plans have been ap-
proved it is still very doubtful if the
thousandfoot skyscraper will ever be
occupied by the Equitable, for a con-
troyersy has arisen over the advis-
ability of such a move
When the intention of putting up
the siXty-two-story structure was re-

criticism on the part of the policy
holders, who objected to the expendi-
ture which it would entail.
Paul Morton, president of the So

that the present building yields SO
