SEEN IN
LEASEHOLD
BUILDING

The present trend toward the cree
ton of business and residential
structures on leased land instead of
on land that is owned thus saving
in the amount of borrowing. money
required and interest charges there
on, thereby increasing the per-
centage earned so per cent, with
net earnings amounting to more
than six times the bond interest, as
compared with 25 per cent earned
on the investment with net earn
ings of only four times the annual
bond interest under the lee loan
plan, is shown clearly in survey
made public today by Hugh Hern-
don. vice president OF the Common
wealth Bond Corporation of New
York.
Theory OF LeasehOld
THE theory of the leasehold
tyne of first mortgage bond" AIR
Herndon stated, "is based upon the
growing tendency OF estates ana
individuals to hold permanent pos
session of the fee of the land. Inc
idea has it's origin in the lease
hold conditions in European coun.
tries. where fees are often handed
down from generation to genera
ton.
Builders and financiers find
much of merit in the idea. As a
first consideration. the enormous
ground prices in selected business
and residential areas in practically
all of the large American cities
often act as a bar where fees are
required for needed improvements.
AS its inherent attractiveness and
inevitable usage became clearer to
investors. the ,leasehoid type of
security, so long in vogue in
Europe, is growing rapidly as
prime investment in America"
Analysis Shows
Essential conditions lnsuring
safety 70 investment requisite for
a leasehold issue, according to Mr..
Herndon's analysis, are: I'D A
ground rental not in excess annually
of per cent of the value of the
land: ~ the fee OF the land to
remain free and clear OF any encum-
brances, or liens or other obliga-
tons ahead OF the leasehold bonds;
and ca the Ieasehold estate having
been assigned to an independent
trustee for the life of the bonds,
should provide that due notices of
payments of grouid rent. taxes,
insurance, water rates, etc, be
made regularly to the underwater.
