Skyscraper Fades Before Woods Bank 15 Sued
A suit filed in the district clerk's office by George Bicklin of Providence, R. I., names The Weads National Bank and H N Mor e as defendants. Bicklin seeks damages of 385 and seeks cancellation of a 99 year lease for a seven story steel building on a lot at Houston avid and Losoya streets. The case centers on a contract from July 1, 1907, in which the bank leased the lot and was to erect the building, with rent of 6000 annually. The petition alleges the bank, after receivership, collected rents but has refused to pay over monies due and repudiated the lease. The involved property is linked to the Kal tuer Brands drug store on a valuable San Antonio lot.
