Davis had complained against MRS. nc
Carly, who keeps a COW near u Mr,
Davis's house, but he had been wiling
to put q stable among nice people as

stable was erected. The stable would pc |
within fifteen fest of his house. 1t would
not be in connection with any house but
would be right on the street and Woulo
be ill-smelling and a nuisance.

only intended to keep thrse horses there
and was purposefy making the Eulldlng
large, so that he could convert 1t into
house at no distant date.
Mr. Anderson said the reason the peo-
pie objected to Mr.. Davis's stable was that
1t was placed right on the street. while
the other stables in the neighborhoou
were in the rear of other buildings
MIR. Daniel Goodhue said: "Mrs. Nc
Carly tells me that Mr.. Davis has COM
planned about her stable.
MIR. Davis-"It is a piece OF imposition
to compare the stable ! am erecting with
Mrs. McCarty's and no gentleman would
