LEASES NULLIFIED BY
THE DRY AMENDMENT
Contracts Entered Into Before
Adoption Affected.

A lease entered into before the Eigh-
teenth Amendment to the Federal Con-
stitutfon was adopted where the prem
ises are occupied by a saloon and hotel
can be nullified. according to a decision
rendered Saturday by the Appellate
Term OF the Supreme Court sitting in
Brooklyn
Supreme Court Justice James G.
Cropsey wrote the decision. II was con-
Cured In by Justices kelby and Man
ming. The ruling is considered OF a
great deal Of Importance ut this time
in view OF the fact that Police Com
missioner Enright has predicted that
within two months there Will not be
saloon in the city doing any liquor
business.
There are many saloonkeepers in the
city who hold long term leases on such
property, hundreds of which are rented
from brewing interests. Since the police
started the iigid dry enforcement work
lessoes OF ,iis kind Of property have
been III q"gndsry, rs they declare
their curtailed business has made 1t inn
possible for them to meet payments on
their leases The decision will no doubt
bring into court many cases where sa-
loonkeepers wish to rid themselves of
leases.
The decision was made IN the case OF
Rudolph Ziegler. lessee OF 80 Borden
avenue, Queens. and Jacob Kaiser, the
owner. who granted a lease to the COM
plainant in May. 1916. with the under
standing he was to conduct a saloon
and hotel at a monthly rental of $500.
Ziegler paid the rent until the adop-
ton Of the Eighteenth Amendment, and
then he entered into a new agreement
with Kaiser which called for $3.50 a
month. Kaiser accepted the reduced
rent for January and February. but
when March came he demanded the old
rent, as stipulated in the original lease,
which was refused The action was
started in the Municipal Court which
ruled that Ziegler must pay the original
rent.
Following the suggestion of Judges Of
General Sessions, Magistrates held Of
tenders charged with violating the Null
Ian Gage dry laws in $1,000 each. Hith-
erto bail has been fixed in sums rang
ing from $500 to $1,000. Persons in
dicted for liquor offences are being held
in $1,000 bail in the Court of General
Sessions.
