STANDARD OIL MUST
PAY ADVANCE RENT
Welles Building Verdict TO
Cost Company S6,500.000
in 81 Years.

A jury before Justice Isidor wssser-
vogeI in the Supreme Court yesterday
returned verdict in favor of E. T.
Smathers, owner OF the Welles Building,
II to 20 Broadway, who sued the
Standard Oil Company OF New York TO
ascertain when quarterly payments OF
rem. fall due under terms of a long
term lease by which the Standard Oil
Company took possession more than two
years ago.
The Standard Oil Company contended
that with the omission OF the words
payable in advance" from the lease
which was signed the instsllrnents OF
rent were not payable. as MIR. Smathers
sought. at the beginning OF each quar-
teriy period. The rental Is s2o0.0 900. The
lease has ninety-seven years to run.
Mathematicians have computed that
by the verdict the Standard OIL Company
loses the use of s3.750 year in interest,
Compounded at 6 per cent. for the tenure
OF the lease this item OF interest becomes
about s6.50o.0 900.
The case already has gone through 70
the Court OF Appeals on a Judgment on
the pleadings which was in favor of the
Standard Oil Company. The Appellate
Division in January reversed the order
of the lower court and directed that the
circumstances preceding the signing OF
the lease be submitted to a jury. The
Court OF Appeals affirmed this decision.
The jury before Justice Wasservogel
was told that the f1rst draft of the pro-
posed lease contained the words payable
In advances" although hey were omitted
from tne final draft which was signed.
Counsel for Mr.. Smathers said their
omission was not intentional.
