Grocery Co, covering the property more particularly described in said lease and located
immediately east of the property of Mary B.H. Herring on Seminole Boulevard east of
French Avenue, Mr. "fight stated the reason for the request for an extension being the

the expenditure not being considered justifiable, however, unless a longer lease than_
the present one can be obtained.
