We propose to lease this space from the City for a period of fifteen (15) years, at a rental to be agreed upon with the City Commission. We will agree to indemnify the City a-ainst any claims for damages either for personal injury or property damage arising because of the deposit booths being located on said sidewalk, and that said booths will r.ot be used for any other purpose other than by the Bank for receiving and disbursing funds.
