Contlenen:
lie onn the property known as 412-422 Alden Strect, which ia
logated at the corner of High and Alden Streets. Our frontage on Alden
Street is approximatoly 216° and on High St. 135°. A portion of our
property to the Neat extents back to the railrued siding.
Ne at one time occupied this property in connection with the ex-
traction of radium and by-products from crude orea obteined from our mines
in Colorado. lie discontinued these operations in 1925, and since 1926 this
proporty has atood idle. About 1926 the nature of our operations were mater-
ially changed, in that, instead of produoing our own radium from virgin ores
we made suitable connections whereby we bought our supply from foraign sources.
Our present operations consist of re-working such radium proparations, man-
ufacturing of luminous naterial, such as used on watch and clock dials, the
draving and fabrication of netal parta as used in the sanufacture of a line of
hotel numbers and aigns. besooperstions are carried on at the addresse
given on our letterhead, which is a building classified for light menufacturing.
lie have also become interested during the past year in the Wekaler
Thermonetor Corporation, a concern engaged in the manufacture and distribution
of thersoseters as used by the commercial and industrial trades. The nature
of the oporations in an industry of this kind are primarily - dreving and
blowing of glass tubes, the fabrication of netal soales and backe, the finish-
ing of such soales and backs, as for example - enaneling and spraying.
The operations of the Thermometer Corporation are now being
esrried on at 438 125th St. N.Y.C. The building is classified for light
canufacturing.
In view of the fact that our property has been idle for such a
prolonged period of time, and that there is one building on the propety which
would be idenl in nature for the type of operations which we are now carrying
on, it seems indicated that wo should discontinue paying rental on our various
logations in liew York and occupy our oun proporty. flowevor, tre undorstend
that our property has been classified as compercial, and auch clasaification
sould doubtless prevent us from carrying on the operations shich we are now
