BY COURT OF APPEALS
Opinions Handed Down in Fiji
teen Local Cases.
EIGHT REVERSALS ORDERED
Lower Tribunals Affirmed in Seven Of
the Causes.
OF IMPORTANCE TO BUILDERS

ings to Issue Permit Sustained
Party Walls
OF IMPORTANCE TO BUILDERS

The Court of Appeals of the District Of
Columbia late yesterday announced its de-
cision in fifteen cases recently argued.
Reversals of the lower court were ordered
in eight cases, and in the other seven the
action of the tribunals appealed from was
sustained.
A decision of Importance to builders and
property owners was that made on the ap-
peal of Thomas E. Smithson from the &C
ton of the District Supreme Court. refus-
ing to issue a mandamus to compel Snow
den Ashford, the building inspector. to al
low Smithson to build row Of houses with
party walls nine inches in thickness. The
appellate court sustained this ruling.
For this class of structure the building
regulations require a 13-inch wall, and the
permit had been refused because the plans
did not comply with the regulations
Mr. Smithson contended that the 13-inch
regulation is arbitrary and unnecessary,
and therefore void. The District insisted
that the regulation was reasonable and
essential to safe construction The trial
Judge dismissed the mandamus suit after
a trial.
In disposing of the case Justice Robb
says:
1T being admitted that the subject OF this
regulation Is within the powers conferred
by law upon the Commissioners, we think
the petitioner has failed to make cut such
a discretion as would justify the relief
sought.
The regulation was promulgated after
very careful consideration in the interests
of all the people Of the District. 1T Is not
taking of the property of the petitioner,
but mere regulation of its enjoyment in
the interests of the public

and any other Councilman that does not
do as I want him." was begun in Circuit
Court yesterday. The newspaper and
the writer Of the letter, Robert L. Lee, are
the defendants.
The suit grows out Of a warm political
fight in Plainfield last year, when the Muir
ply whom McCardell Is said TO have
threatened to break was one of those de-
feated for a counc,lmanic nomination. Lee,
in a letter to the courier-News, tried to
show to another correspondent, who had
expressed doubts Of the existence of bosses
in Plainfield, that there really were u
men. and said that McCardell had six
Councilmen who voted against a license he
was alleged to be interested in defeated
at the primaries. In the course of this
little discourse on Plainfield politics Lee
made the statement quoted, and added that
it was literally ~interspersed with vile

the Democratic candidate spoke for
about i've minutes, dwelling particu-
larly upon the alleged evils that are
said to have been brought into exist

He dwelt at some length on that
feature, concluding with 1T is now left

periments. He greeted the party, but
went on with his work without inter-
ruption.
The Farmer Orator." however, who
remembered the time when twenty
five years ago Mr.. Edison established
his plant in Menlo Park, son won the
wizards attention by references to
that time. Mr.. MARITIME in his charac-
teristic way told Mr.. Edison that he
(Martine) still had in his possession a
letter from MIR. Edison in reply to one
that he had sent Mr.. Edison asking
him to locate his plant in Plainfield
when he contemplated going to West
Orange. Mr.. Edison smiled at the
gra%ndiloquence of the Farmer Ora
tor" but pleasantly recalled the in
cident.
MIR. Katzenbach then remembered
that his father-in-law, Andrew Nc
Neil, had been a great friend of Mr..
Edison. The latter recalled that &C
uuaintance, too, and said that his as
ISOLATION with Mr.. Mcneil was a happy
memory to him.
