Smith contends that in as much as
the office has been located in his
store for several years, and the To-
cation has apparently bceu satisfac-
tory to the public, he sees no rea-
son why it should be moved at this
or because Mr. Kumcrow is to
move. Mr. Kumerow's argument is
that he is the. present custodian of
the office and he feels justified in
taking the Office with him TO his
new location. After all it seems but
personal matter and no doubt the
public would have been perfectly
contented with the present location,
had not the personal interest had
a clash. Both parties have pow
