Head Matter:
Ten Fifth Avenue Corp., Appellant, v. Max Baker, Respondent, et al., Undertenants.
Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department,
June 11, 1959.
Allan D. Emil and Melvin A. Albert for appellant.
Henry A. Drescher for respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The intent of the statute was not to require the proffer of a two-year lease, but the offer of a lease after June 1, 1956, to expire on June 30, 1958. (Business Rent Law, § 8, subd. [gg], par. [1]; L. 1945, ch. 314, as amd.; Report of Temporary Commission to Study Rents and Rental Conditions, N. Y. Legis. Doe., 1956, No. 57; Clark-Wile & Mayer v Littman, N. Y. L. J., Jan. 9,1959, p. 10, col. 6, motion for leave to appeal denied 7 A D 2d 901.)
The lease proffered to the tenant was on substantially similar terms and conditions as the existing tenancy.
The final order should be reversed, with $30 costs, and final order directed for the landlord as prayed for in the petition, with costs.
Concur — Hofstadter, J. P., Stbtjer and Tilzer, JJ.
