A suit for damages growing cut OF the
widening OF Elmwood avenue was begun
today before Judge Wilbur OF the Com
mon Pleas Division OF the Supreme Court.
The plaintiffs are George p. Tew and wife
whose residence is located at 6i6 Elmwood
| avenue. The Tews have owned
the property for some years,
and prior to the extension
OF the avenue had a comfortable, roomy
front yard. BY the widening OF the ave-
nue. they claim the property has been Sc
riousiy deprecated.
When the avenue was widened large
slices of private real estate on each
side was condemned, paid for and
incorporated into the highway. Mrs.
Tew's property was among those con-
demned. A slice of 70 feet
was shaved off in front bring
ing the front of the house close
10 the electric car tracks which line the
street on either side. 1t is
impossible say the plaintiffs to hitch
horse. in front OF the house on account
OF the proximity OF the cleo
tries. IL was also necessary
to build steps leading up to the piazza on
account of the abrupt change in grade. II
isfurther claimed that the buildings must
be moved back to make room.
The defendants claim that $1,000 the
street commission awarded and paid Mrs.
Tew, who is the owner OF the property,
$1,000 for the damage resulting from the
change in the width of the street. The
