Chicagoan Outlines
Realtors Meaning
OF "An Act of Cod

If Actress Helen Hayes had been a
tenant in a building covered by a Ma
tional Association of Real Estate Boards
standard lease form she might have
used her "act of Good" plea to good adj
vantage If the premises were visited by
e. rthquake or flood. Miss Hayes year
or more ago termed motherhood IAN
act of God" in an effort to get out of
stage contract.
This phrase occurs in the standard
forms covering Office buildings, apart
ment buildings and shops prepared by
divisions of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards as an aid to their
country-wi membership.
Asked to define an "act of God" in
the realty field Mark Levy, president of
the Chicago Real Estate Board and
member of the committee which drew
the forms for Office buildings and shops,
said:
In determining what constitutes an
act of God in the possible cancellation
of one of these leases, the courts prob
ably would hold that this phrase covers
only such things as could not be con-
trolled by human agency.
Thus, an act Of God, to give suffi-
ciert cause to cancel our leases would
probably include earthquakes, cyclones
and tornadoes. lightning and such fires
as might wipe out an entire city, like
the great Chicago fire.
"A fire started as result of human
carelessness, even If started in build

power of human agencies to control,
and these, destroying the intended use
of commercial property, might permit
the cancellation Of the leases covering it.

Property Vacated
By British Embassy
Acquired by Cady
Erection of Office Build.
ing for Physicians and
Dentists Planned.

Title to the old British Embassy
property at Connecticut avenue and N
street, vacated during the past year
when the embassy staff moved into
their pretentious new home on MasSa-
chusetts avenue, was acquired this week
by Edward Everett Cady.
The new owner of the property, it
has been reported, is one of group at
work on final plans for the construc-
ton of a large Office building for ply
sicians and dentists. Acquisition of
the property by the new owner is in
line with previously announced plans
to this end.
Papers filed with the recorder of
deeds under the date of August 81,
1925, revealed the passing of title by
the Commissioners of Works and Public
Buildings of His Majesty, the King of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, to Harry Wardman,
Thomas P. Bones and James d. Hobbs.
The old British Embassy property
was held in escrow as a part of the
transaction under which Wardman sold
to the British government the site for
the new building, and was to acquire
ownership of the old embassy property.
Wardman built the new embassy.
A second transfer filed this week re-
corded the passing of title to the old
embassy property by the Wardman Of
hcials to the new owner.

This applies particularly, according
to present plans, to the three large
apartment houses standing in a block
near the western end Of the truncated
triangle forming the War-Navy site.
Senator Smoot, chairman Of the
Public Buildings Commission. which
selected the building site, stated that
these three apartment buildings with
other properties would be acquired and
RACED to make way for new Govern
ment developments.
Smith Company Financing.
An interesting point. revealed today,
is that one Of these apartment build
ings was financed through the F. H.
Smith Co., the much-inveStigated real
ty finance firm. Thus a new chapter
may be written concerning some of the
Smith Co. investors. individuals who
purchased and are holding Smith Co.
bonds, secured on this property, may be
benefited by Government cash pay
ment for the property, if and when
the Government acquires this part Of
the site.
The apartment building referred TO
is the Riverside Apartments, located at
Twenty-second and G streets and New
York avenue.
Decision as to this and the other two
apartments as yet is in the future. First
will be the matter of the size Of the
