Defendant's evidence in regard to this contract was that from 1933 to 1938, it had been paying $75 per month as rent for the premises, under a written lease. That in May, 1938, the plaintiff, through its president, Mr. Dillingham, had a meeting with representatives of defendant and informed them that the rent must be raised; that the taxes and insurance costs were high and consequently defendant would have to pay more money. The plaintiff agreed to carry the insurance on the property and that in case of fire, there would be no obligation whatsoever on the defendant. This agreement was satisfactory to both parties. Acting under this agreement, plaintiff procured the proper insurance, fully covering the value of the building, and the defendant began paying monthly $112.50. The tenancy was from month to month and in case the building was destroyed, the tenancy was to be considered as terminated, the defendant was under no obligation thereafter to plaintiff, whether the fire occurred through defendant's negligence or otherwise.
