BIG SPITE FENCE PLANNED
BUILDER THINKS HE is JUSTIFIED RY
ACTION OF HIS NEIGHBOR

The builders of what are called spite fences
generally get little sympathy, and their motives
are nearly always prejudged before both sides
heard.
Louis Kahn of No 10 West Seventy thinks
he is more than justified in erecting such a structure
In connection with an apartment house, of which
he is part owner, a No. West Ninety eighth
st. 1t is known the San Salvador, and when Ii
was put UP last summer five feet of the highly
valuable building lot left vacant the south
side to act light court. Last winter Mr.. Kahn
learned that c. Blinn of No. West Nnety-ninth-
St. had filed plans for another apartment house at
No S76 Central Park West. adjoining Mr.. Kahns
lot on the south, but had made no allowance for
similar light court. Mr. Blinn calculated TO take
free advantage of Mr.. Kahns light court without
losing foot of his land He therefore built
ms apartment house plumb up TO the line of his
lot and put twenty-three windows in the north
side, looking directly into kahns court and the
windows of Kahn's tenants.
Mr. Kahn was reused by this conduct and in
structed Cleverdon & Putzel of No. II Union
Square his architects. draw plans for mag
nihcent iron fence eighty feet high, which will be
erected on the extreme south line of Mr.. Kahns
court, and will stand right up in front of Mr..
Blinns twenty-five windows like immense
hreproof shutter. The Department of Buildings
was requested yesterday issue a permit for the
fence. In spite fence case however,
Commissioner Brady decided that the Department
was built without any further decision from him
so 1t is possible that Mr.. Kahn's plans will be

with Mr. Kahn. The fence is to be of iron painted
white on kahn's side and black Blinn's. Mr..
Sam says that Icing ago he sent word to Mr..
Blinn requesting him to alter the plans OF his
building so as TO provide for five foot light
squirt, or else build a dead wall with no windows.
This Mr. Blinn refused to do Mr. Kahn is

THEY DECIDE TO CONTINUE A RULE WHICH THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY DIsLIKEs

Ihere was reopening of the breach between
Dstrict-Attorney Gardiner and the Judges of the
Court of General Sessions yesterday. The District
Attorney tried to interfere again with business
of the Grand Jury. and when a complaint was
made the Judges decided to continue a rule to
which the District-Attorney objected.
The Judges decided last March that cases to be
brought before the Grand Jury be filed with
Chief Clerk Carroll, instead of being filed in the
District Attorneys office. and the rule was made
to have the warden of the Grand Jury take the
papers 10 the Grand Jury room every day. Yester-
day morning District-Attorney Gardiner objected
TO the presence of Warden Bowling, Mr.. Wallace
the foreman of the Grand Jury, promptly took
complaint to Judge Mcmahon in Part | of the
Court of General Sessions Judge Mcmahon called
meeting of the Judges. and they decided to CON
tinue the rule have Grand Jury cases filed with
the Clerk of the Court and TO allow Warden Dowl-
ing TO enter the courtrooms all times.
