INJUNCTION
AGAINST BUILDER
Lowden & Co. Restrained in
Work
SERIOUS DIFFICULTIES
Walter F. Lowden & Co. Restrained
BY Mrs. Julia M. Brown, Owner
of Residence.

Lawyer Albert R. McAllister went
to Atlantic City yesterday si4 OBJ
tanned from Justice Kalisch an iijunc-
tion restraining Walter F. Lowden &
Co., builders, from continuing work
upon frame dwelling in course of
erection on Hampton street, the prop
erty of Mrs. Julia M. Brown.
Lowden & Co., began the construc-
ton of this house in July. 1t is al
legged that there have been many diff
cuities and that much of the time the
contractors have failed to work upon
the house. Mrs. Brown finally secured
counsel and served notice upon Low
den & Co., to leave the property, and
| arrangements were made with Maier
& Bro, to complete the work.
On Monday last Maier & Bro. at
tempted to carry out the orders of
Mrs. Brown. but his workmen claim
| that Lowden & Co., forcibly elected
them from the premises. In the melee

saulted.
The owner Of the property claims
that the workmanship of the house
has been bad and that the specifica-
tions have not been followed. Build
ers in affidavits claim that much will
have to be done to make the dwelling
satisfactory. This week Lowden &
Co., started in the work of plastering.
| 1t is claimed that if the house is plas-
tered before the necessary changes
are made, much loss will follow for
Mrs. Brown.
This morning the NOTICE ot irjunc-
ton was served upon Lowden & Co.,
and for the present his work upon the
house has ceased
The same concern has caused end
less trouble for several house build
ers. Within year Lowden & Co.,
have taken several contracts in COM
petitive bidding, and in most of the
instances the firm has failed to COM
plete it's work owing TO financial diff
culties. Several of the owners have
been obliged to resort to legal aid to
take contracts out of the hands of
Lowden & Co., and have these con-
tracts completed by responsible build
ers. In several instances the owners
have incurred considerable financial
loss and much inconvenience. Some
of the work that Lowden e Co., have
still in hand remain unfinished to the
annoyance of owners.

Water Works

Another break occurred in the six
teen inch line across East Lake dam
on November 26th, about fifty feet
above the point where the pipe broke
a few weeks ago. The pipe was found
to be in good condition, and the break
was probably due to the settlement or
movement of the fill which forms the
dam, and to the fact that the pipe,
which was built for a pressure of only
45 pounds, is carrying from so to 80
pounds per square inch. A consider
able saving in cost was effected in re-
pairing this break by constructing .
permanent blow off at a low point in
the line so that the men could work
without being interfered with by the
water flowing from the leak. This
blow off will be of service in the fu-
> ture in repairing leaks which will un-
doubtedly be of frequent occurrence.
2 With the exception of few days
the entire water supply of the city has
been taken from the new plant during
the month of November. On Novem-
Der 18th the crosshead pin on the
main engine gave trouble and it was
necessary to shut down the plant until
a new pin could be fitted to the cross
head. Appearances seemed to indi-
cate that the pin had not been proper
ly fitted when the engine was assem-
bled.
The contractor who is to construct
the new Armory has asked for water
and sewer connections for the build
ing, and while no formal application
has yet been made to the City Council
for the necessary extension of the
water and sewer line think it we'll TO
state that in order to serve the Ar
mory 250 feet of sewer and $50 feet of
water line must be laid. The former
will cost about $4,000 and the latter
about $4,000.

During the past month eleven build
ing permits have been issued as fol-

unfortunate accident. In the basement

motor and the end of the first finger
was clipped off and the second one
was badly gashed
