Dewey. Site of the building would be between 58th and 60th Streets in New York City. Revenue for liquidation of the bonds and pay¬ ment of $150,000 annually to New York City in lieu of taxes on the property to be. acquired would come from a $1,000,000 guaranteed annual rental paid by the Madison Square Garden Corporation as lessee. In announcing its approval of the program, the Commerce and Industry Association of New York, Inc., through its Secretary Thomas Jefferson Miley, stated the rental, ac¬ cording to estimates, would amortize the bonds at an average rate of $400,000 a year in 35 years, pay interest of $400,000 at 2%, $150,000 annually in lieu of taxes on the value of the site in its present that ; guaranteed condition, and leave a margin of $50,000 for services of the AuL thority. When the lease expires, the city would own both land and improvement free and clear. With respect to the proposed annual rental, the Association suggested: "It is conceivable, in' view of the potential profits posed facilities, the' including from the for* motion concessions valuable pro¬ pictures, radio and television, the Corporation could be induced to to agree pay than 'higher amount based additional an an annual rental $1,000,000, possibly upon percentage of earnings." a Sale — on The $3,075,000 March 9—v. 167, 990—were purchased by a syn¬ composed of the Bankers p.
