Mr.. Chase alleges that he has acqhired
a remunerative business on the property
which yields him large profits; that the
location is the best in the city for that
business; that the location has a par

his theater; that the plant which he has
established cannot be readily moved or
transferred to another location, and the

chase property elsewhere and erect the
