OBJECT TO THE SALE
I OF SOUTHERN BUILDING
Fire Insurance Company Receiv-
ers Hold Commission Too High;
y, First Payment Too Small.

Objection to the proposed sale of the
Southern building, at 18th and II
streets northwest, to Allan f. Walker
for S1,S05.000. of which only S229,00C
is to be paid in cash, was made before
Justice Hitz of the District Supreme
Court yesterday by the receivers of
the First National Fire Insurance
Company, who are attacking the val
idity of the title of the Southern
Realty Corporation to the property.
Justice HitZ took under consideration
the question of the ratification of the
sale and may announce his decision
Saturday.
brokers' commission of s54.15O
seemed to be the storm center of the
arguments of counsel today before
Justice HitZ. The receivers commended
that the terms of sale called only for
a purchase of the equity in the prop
erty and the purchaser did not assume
or agree to pay either the first mort
gage of 10000 or the second bond
issue of s676. 900. the latter being held
by the First National Fire Insurance
Company. Counsel urged that the
court was asked to pay a brokers
commission which amounted to % IL
per cent of the cash payment.
The lawyers for the receivers urged
that no sale should be made which
did not take care of the second trust.
tory. but claimed the sale should be
made subject only to the first trust
and brokers' commission, which
should not exceed $4,000.
Counsel for the Southern Realty
Corporation commended that it was
selling its own property on the pres
ent state of the record, and that if
the receivers could not submit a bet
ter offer the court should require an
injunction bond to protect the South
ern Realty Corporation against loss
II the present sale should not be APP
proved.
The arguments disclosed that Mr.
Walker, while the only purchaser of
record. has associated with him a
number of Washington financiers.
