OWNERS TO RECKON
WITH THE TENANTS
Renters Of Board Of Trade Building
Company May Yet Hold to
Their Leases.
NOTHING DEFINITE IS DECIDED

When the directors Of the BOARD
OF Trade building finally make VI
their minds whether to repair OF
build a new structure where the ole
one was Quilted by fire they will have
number of tenants to reckon with
! besides the G. w. Hull company
While c. w. Hull is still holding pos.
session of his quarters on a lease
that is made out to the year 1919
others who have temporarily aban-
doned the building declare that they
will also have something to say as
to whether they will step out for
good or not.
Among these Is the German American
State bank. which took up temporary
quarters at Fifteenth and Farnam streets
in the old Burlington ticket office.
We are just waiting on the directors
OF the Board OF Trade building to do
something before W, know definitely
what our future location will be-" said
President Fred II. Baker OF the bank.
mo. c. w. Hull is noe the only one hold
iAlb Jul " Alt HtlNtI VI AIS ltbbtt ny any
means. He may be the only one that
has been publicly mentioned. but there
are lot OF them, you will find. that are
going to stick for the fulflllment Of their
lease. am not saying what We will do,
OF course. As say, we do not know.
II will depend upon what the directors
Of the building want to do. When they
put up some plan. we will consider II and
see whether It is satisfactory to US or
not. And a lot of other tenants will be
the same way. When over 80 per cent
OF a building is destroyed it il TO be
considered that a lease terminates auto
matically. 1t is a question in this case
whether any where near 90 per cent OF
this building was destroyed"
Many Are silent.
A number of other tenants are in much
the same position on this matter but are
loath to talk about It, Many have placed
the whole matter in the hands of an at
torney and arc refusing to say word
unless advised by that attorney. An at
tempt was made shortly after the fire to
organize a kind of association of tenants
Of the building. which organization would
form a united front in presenting what
they considered the side of the tenants
in the matter. No very definite organ
ization was formed however, for this
purpose.
In the meantime the directors OF the
building company are seeking TO get the
insurance adjusted before they make any
very definite plans as to the next step
for the building
The ]. c. Mardis company. which is
tearing down some of the burned parts.
has orders to tear down the two upper
stories. which the city ordered down for
purposes OF public safety.
