COURT DECIDES in
LANDLORDS FAVOR
Decision Handed Down in Test
Case Over Damages from
Street Widening.

The test case on the question whether
a tenant is entitled TO an appOrtonment
Of rent where show windows and vaults
OF his premises have been ordered re-
moved to permit Of the widening of Fifth
avenue, 23d street, Nassau street and
other important thoroughfares was de-
cided by the Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court to-day in favor Of the
landlords.
Under this decision. where a lease Of
entire premises provides that tenant shall
comply with municipal department orders
concerning the same at his own cost and
expense, the cost of repairs and the loss
OF space by reason Of the cty's crusade
against these street Entertainments falls
upon the tenant. The case was that in
volvlrg the premises at the southwest
corner of 90 street and Fifth avenue.
which were leased by the Union Trust
Company, Of New York, as trustee and
Max Rubel as landlord to Lebolt & Co,
as tenant. for a period Of seventeen
years at a net rental of $4,000 a year.
The citys improvements on Fifth avenue
and on 23d street required the removal of
a vault under the street and two show
windows encroaching one foot on the
sidewalk.
Lebolt & Co asked the landlords for
5000 the cost OF making the repairs. and
for an allowance OF $4,000 year. making
sl1saoo reduction of rent The same ques-
ton was raised with reference 70 a num-
Der Of other pieces Of property in the
Fifth avenue section and Maurice b. &
hal
landlords, agreed 10 make the Lebolt
lease q test case and 10 permit the others
10 wait and abide by the result. Accord
ingly, the action against Lebolt was
brought on for hearing before Justice
Lehman, Of the Supreme Court, for an
Interpretation of the lease Justice Leh-
man decided in favor of the landlords.
Then the case was submitted 10 the APP
pellate Division on the 9Th inst, and yes
terday that court handed down its de-
cision affirming Justice Lehman's disposi-
ton OF the matter, with costs TO the land
lords
Maurice B. Blumenthal, who argued the
matter before the Appellate Division
stated yesterday that the other cases,
which have been held in allegiance until
the decision of the Lebolt case would
probably all be settled ont of court. as
the various attorneys for the tenants had
assured him of their willingness TO abide
by the decision of the Appellate Division
on the question involved. The Lebolt
decision can be appealed to the Court of
Appeals, but Mr. Blumenthal says he has
not heard whether his opponent would
carry the case to that court.

writer had written them wrong.
We laid him out in the snow such pity
we seldom hear,
AS the passengers viewed the face of
the heroic engineer.
His grave is forgotten now, like his
manly form in life,
The only flowers that bloom are sown
by his dropping wife.
And the stoop where the stalwart
stood when the weary race vas DER,
Through the dreary autumn days,
shall feel his tread no more.
To the hero duty is sweet, precious
the public trust,
His name on the pay roll fades, but it
shines amid the just. Z
When every eye perceives, the coward
and bravely true,
Il he jumped to save himself, or died
at his post for you.
Then hail to the engineer In the shed
before the race,
While truth Is in his heart and life
lives in his face,
Give MIN the praises due, while life is
10 it's bloom,
Then bury the sigh and tear deep
under his p~ensive tomb.
