Andrew McGarraghy Wants to Rid
Himself OF TWenty-One.
A Large Property Owner Who Is
Looking for an Opportunity 10
Become Landless.

Andrew McGarraghy, who is the owner
Massachusetts, avenue and Il street north
east, made the voluntary offer in the
police court. before Judge Kimbali, TO gave
away his property wiSR1ut compensation
to anyone who would assume the indebt-
edness against it.
Mctiarra ghy, who is au employc of the
Government Printing office, was charged
by Inspector Beaumont with violation Of
dhe health ordinances, in failing 10 have
the houses properly connected with the
sewer.
The defendant was only tried on two
cases, while it is alleged that the sewer
systems in eighteen of the twenty-one
structures are in such bad condition
that the sewage backs up in the alley,
endangering the public health and max
ing that by-way impossible. Beaumont
said cGarraghy had been warned several
times to remedy the matter, but has failed
to do so.
The defendant pleaded as an excuse
sickness in his family, and said that the
buildings were so heavily covered by
deeds of trusts that he is unable either
to borrow more money on them or sell
the property In fact he added, Il
cannot give away the twenty-one houses y
Judge KIuball examined the law and
found that the lowest penalty he could
impose in the two cases, which We're
proven, was fine of S2T2 or thirty days
in jail for each of the eighteen houses
with defective sewerage, making total
OF $40 days imprisonment.
McGarraghy stated that he had dno money
to pay such a fine, and if he were impris-
oned he would lose his position and his
family would suffer. He offered to remedy
the sewer connections in one house each
month until all were completed. "Or
will give the houses away" said the de-
fendant.
Mr. McGarraghy softer was accepted by
Mr. Donahue, a real estate dealer, who
agreed to assume payment of the various
deeds of trust, but a transfer was not made,
Judge Kimball finally agreeing, upon
recommendation of Prosecutor Mullow-
ney, to release McGarraghy upon his per-
sonal bonds and his promise to make the
necessary sewer connections within two
weeks.
