Review Of the Case

1t seems that on the eighth day Of
July, 1896, Henne and Lankershim
entered into party wall agreement for
the construction of a party wall be-
tween their buildings to the height of
five stories and fire wall. There was
nothing in the agreement expressly
prohibiting the wall going higher, but
it was provided that when the wall
was constructed as in the agreement
provided, that it should be and remain
a party wall for the use and benefit OF
the respective parties, their heirs,
administrators and assigns in perpet-
uity.
About the first day of August, 1907
Mr.. Lankershim proposed to add two
more stories TO his building, and for
that purpose, to use the party wall
between the two buildings. TO this
Mr.. Henne objected unless a satisfac-
tory settlement of the matter was made
with him, and his consent obtained.
The parties failed to reach settle
ment OF the matter. and Mr.. Lanker-
SHIN proceeded without the consent Of
Mr.. Henne, TO construct the two ad-
ditional stories upon his building, and

fine view of the city, mountains and
valley as far as the eye can reach. Fine
mirrors fill in all the wall space be-
tween the windows and the woodwork
is in weathered oak. Bay windows are
the ornamental features of the south
side: s7gs'~'-.7'.' .'''7',i.-'Ts ,''e e-'r' '' :.
A novelty in the line of supplying hot
water for the rooms is the installment
of a gas heater in the kitchen that has
an automatic attachment, on the prin-
ciple of the device used in the bath
rooms. Hot water can be furnished for
any room in a very few moments.
The Inn improvement involved an ex-
penditure of nearly $20,O00 and Mrs
Logan has contracted for about $4,000
worth of furniture to fit up the estab-
lishment.

Supreme Court Decision

The case was appealed to the supreme
court by the plaintiff Henne, and was
argued before the court on the twenty
first day of October, 1904 by the OF
torneys for the respective parties.
The decision was rendered by the
supreme court on the twenty-fourth
day of January, 1905, by Justice Angel
lotti, and concurred in by Justices Van
Dyke and Shaw.
The opinion goes to the full extent
contended for by the plaintiff, and
reverses the decision of the lower
court. The court holds in substance
that when the parties agreed to con-
struct the wall five stories high, it was
evident that they did not have i'm mind
any further or additional story. They
expressed what they intended to do
and intended nothing more than they
expressed. They made the agreement
and by the agreement limited the height
of the building. The plaintiff is the
owner of his own land, and he owns
downward to the center of the earth
and upward to the sky. BY the agree
ment he gave the defendant an ease
ment to that portion Of his land upon
which the party wall rests and to no
other portion. He conveyed that ease
ment to the height OF Ave stories and
no more. Nothing can be implied from
the agreement except the grant meas
ured by its terms. The extent of the
defendants easement for the purpose
of party wall is defined and measur-
ed by the agreement. Plaintiff owns
the space on his own land above the
five stories by the same title that he
owns the remaining portions of the
lot, He has not conveyed it to the
defendant. lie cannot be deprived. OF

AT this point, Mr.. Henne, through his
attorney, r. l.. Horton, filed suit in
the superior court. asking for an in
junction against the use of the said
party wall without his consent
The matter was heard in the superior
affidavts of prominent, architects were
read upon the motion, in which it was
shown to the satisfaction of the court
that the two additional stories could
not injure the party wall or be a detri-
ment to the adjoining building. and
upon that showing, the court denied
the injunction. ttss

Where Judas Exhibited Better Taste

Easter day Rockefeller walked in

It was really a field day for John. One

that even had Judas given 10 the mis-
