District, but this offer was rejected.
It is reported Mr. Kantor is still
more or less interested in the pro-
perty. He could not be reached as
he was out of the city.
Wraiucmhnel A Howard. who handles
many of Mr. Kantor's real eiEt'e
propositions. admitted that the lat—
ter had been interested in the Royal
James Inn and had made an otter
for the property which had been
rejected.
"Mr. Kantor is still more or less
interested In the Royal Jam}; pro-
perty," said Mr. Howard. "Mr.
Kantor feels. howuggr. that the
price asked for the property is too
high iii view of the fact at least
3100.000 Would have to be spent in
developing the property."
“Did Mr. Kanlor have any parti-
cular plans in view concerning the
property '2" Mr. Howard was asked.
"No," the latter replied. "Of
course. Mr. Rumor has been buying
up and developing business property
and that is what he would do in this
case."
It is understood that the Nor-walk
Realty and Improvement company
has received other bids for the prop-
erty which are under consideration.
