ln letter TO Chairman Oscar ).
Straus yesterday the Real Estate Board
protests against the Public Service
Commission entering into any lease for
new quarters until certain suggestions
made by the board have been carefully
considered. The commission has prac-
tically decided to sign & five-year lease
tor 5000 square feet of space IN the

feet in the City Investing Building, at
. rental Of $4,000.
The Real Estate Board had asked for
a nublic hearing on the lease matter.
and the commissioners yesterday in
vitcd representatives Of the board to .
conference. The boards representa-
tives aid not find it convenient to con-
fer yesterday. Instead, the board sent
the letter to Chairman Straus.
Commissioner Hayward said last
night that he considered the commits
sion morally bound 20 sign the $4,000
lease. lie said that it had practically
promised to do so and that it was the
best terms it had been able to get.
In its letter the Real Estate Board
asked the commission 20 make sure
thee was no city owned property avail
able which would meet the require
ments before entering into any pro-
posed lease. The board pointed out the
possibility Of legislation being enacted
to consolidate the TWO commissions,
which would reduce the required space,
and the advisabiity Of having an op-
tional cancellation clause in any new
lease. The board suggested the use Of
