AGAIN GO TO THE

The controversy between the property owners
in ClInton-ave about the preservation of the door
yard feature OF that fashionable thoroughfare is
not yet over. It was supposed by the builders who
had their eyes of the fine sites that are
now IN the market that Judge Marean's decision

end the struggle. and that the old residents would
calmly resign themselves TO what the other parties
call the march of improvement. The old resi-
dents. however. are not content TO have the char
acter % the avenue altered by single decision.
and have appealed, or Will within the statutory
time. from Judge Marean's decision. By this means
they hope to overthrow the ruling or hold In
allegiance a final adjudication of the question until
the Legislature can be induced to cure by new
enactment the informalty in the law.
Meanwhile builders who splendid future in
Clnton-ave. investments for apartment house pur-
poses have not been idle. The northeast corner of
