NEW BURDEN HOME
HOUSE OF TROUBLE
Foundation for Residence and
Legal Suit Laid at
Same Time.

When I. Townsend Burden started the
construction recently OF his new resi-
dencc. 100 and III East Ninety-hrst
street, a $4,000 building, he did not
know that he was laying the foundation
for a legal suit as we'll as for a house.
Complaint was served on Mr.. Burden
yesterday that his builder had en-
croached six inches on the property at
1I3 East Ninety-first street. owned by a
corporation which values It's property so
highly that It asks the courts to order
Mr.. Burden to pay 1t $4,000 for the SIX
inches or to make him get oT the lot
According to Joseph Cans OF the hrm
OF Cans. Davis & O'Neil. who represent
Mr.. Burdens neighbors. other complaints
against him will be aired In court. For
one thing, Mr.. Cans says, MIR. Burden
has built a structure higher than the
building next TO his home and has used
the party wall to its top and then bulit
some more on top of II. weakening the
lower wall and ~cndangering the adjoin-
ing property. Complaint number three
is that Mr.. Burden has built his house
out to the building line. while all the
n%cighboring buildings set back about
ten feet.
The buildings adjoining the new Bur
den home are flats. Mr.. Burden bought
there because he thought the street
would eventually be given over to fine
dwellings.
