Move.
When heirs get into a quarrel they arc the
most obstinate of beings, Mention was made
several weeks ago of misunderstanding that
had arisen among the owners of tho Vernon
block on the corner of Pennsylvania avenue
aud u street, on account of the refusal of DIR. j.
B. McCalla, son of Mrs. McCalla owner of one
end of tho block, TO submit to the imposition
of tax for tho use of the stairs and elevator,
which arc in q portion Of tho building owned
by James Varnum, another heir. Mr.. J.
Narnum has been charging the other heirs
Mrs. McCalla and Mrs. Sargent, for the use
of the stairs and elevator. Tho rental was
paid for several years, when it occurred to
Mr.. V. that he wasn't getting enough from
the other owners aud he served notice that
National Republican., 1883-09-08

the rent would be increased after the first of
next January. Mrs. Sargent consented to
pay the increased rental, but Mrs. McCalla
aud her son, the doctor, refused to submit to
what they arc pleased to term an exorbitant
and an unjust tax. Mr.. Varnum thereupOn
notified his recalcitrant relative that their
tenants could not use his stairs or elevator
after January /. The doctor accordingly
notified Mr.. G. a. Whitaker, tho bookseller,
who had occupied his store room for the past
ten years, that ho would build a stairway in
the back of the store room about the first of
October. Mr. Whitaker objected, and said he
did not want his place made highway for ten
ants overhead. They would insist on running
through the store at all hours of the day and
night and he wouldn't have it. He reminded
the doctor that he had paid $4,000 rental
since he had been in the building, and sug-
gested that hc was entitled to some consider
alton personally. The doctor remained OBJ
durato. Mr. Whitaker then volunteered to
pay tho additional rent $500 u year, asked
by Mr.. Narnum If they would let him alone.
The doctor said it was u matter of principle
and refused the OFFER Not another cent should
be paid. The tenant said he could not re-
main if the purpose was persisted in of maxi
ing his store passage way for tho tenants of
the upper floors. All this occurred two or
three months ago.
Yesterday Mr. Whitaker addressed q note
to DIR. McCalla, asking him what course he
had finally determined upon pursuing. Tho
reply came that the stairway would be built
as first planned, and that the contractors
would begin work tho first of October
Tho next mail carried a polite note from
Mr.. Whitaker TO DIR. McCalla, containing
! the information that the writer would be out
of the store on that dato and into his new
establishment No. llO5 Pennsylvania ave-
nuo next to Galt's), which he had leased aud
is now fitting up for occupancy.
The only losers by tho transaction are the
McCalas and Mr.. Varnum, but as Ghe block
is their property il would be nobody's busi-
ness if they took n notion to wall in every
blessed window on the promises.
