City officials united with leaders in real estate, financial and philanthropic circles last night in paying tribute to G. Richard Davis at a testimonial danner given in his honor at the Hotel Biltmore by the Real Estate Club of the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies. More than five hundred guests were present at the dinner, at which Hon. Joseph V. McKee, president of the Board of Aldermen, Dr. Jonah B. Wise, Hon. Joseph M. Proskauer, Arthur Lehman and Frederick Brown were the principal speakers.
Mr. Davis, prominent realtor and philanthropist, recently resigned from the presidency of the Real Estate Club after eight years’ leadership of the organization, founded by him in 1922.
