SUIT FILED TO PREVENT
TERMINATION Of LEASE

The Auburn Sales Company and the
Motor Company of Washington today filed
in the District Supreme Court a suit for
Injunction against James ]. Leary, owner
of the garage building at gath and M
streets northwest recently leased by the
government from the plaintiffs. who had
rented the building from Mr.. Leary. The
plaintiffs seek to prevent threatened
Termination of their lease and proceed
ingS to recover possession OF the prop
erty.
Mr. Leary claims, it is stated. that
the government in making alterations
to the building proceeded without his
written consent. His lease to the mo-
tor concerns provided that no a1tera-
tions be made except with the consent
in writing of the owner. The plaintiffs
admit that the government has made
slight changes to meet its requirements.
but assert that Mr.. Leary was advised
to the War Department and informed
that alterations would be necessary He
also was shown the lumber, it is
averred, with which the changes in
construction were to be made.
The court is advised that when the
plaintiffs leased the property they de-
posted in local bank $4,000 as secur-
ity for the payment of rent before the
garage was built, and they have paid.
they assert through Attorneys H. Win
ship Wheatley and Ralston & Richard
son. the regular monthly rental of
$581.S0 called for by their lease.
Before concluding a lease to the War
Department at $1,000 per month the
plaintiffs say, officials Of the Army in
spected their building and investigated
the business conducted by them and
were satisfied that the rental to be
paid was less than the profits on the
business. They were unable to locate
a garage elsewhere. the plaintiffs say.
Justice Siddons cited the defendant to
show cause Friday why he should not
be enjoined from terminating the lease.
