PLAN FIGHT TO FINISH
TO F0RESTALL GARAGE
Main Street Property Owners
File Amended Petition to
Stop Garage Building.

That property owners in the fash
Twelfth and Main will stubbornly op-
pose the building of a public garage
at the intersection of those streets
was evidenced yesterday when an
amended petition was filed in superior
court asking an injunction to prevent
Ben M. Gessel from erecting such an
alleged nuisance.
This is the fourth round In a fight
made by the home owners ever since
Gessel first proposed his garage about
a month ago. In the first place II. Il.
Kopp, city building inspector. was in
ducei TO refuse to grant Gessel per-
init.
At this first opposition Gessel ap-
peared before Judge Conn Linn in
district court and obtained a writ OF
mandamus to force Kopp to give him
the necessary papers. The city has
pending an appeal to this decision.
When the building inspector was
thus forced to give the license, prop
erty owners filed a petition before
Judge NJ. A. Breckenridge, asking
that a restraining order be granted
to arrest Gessel's activities. Judge
Breckenridge refused last week to
grant the petition.
Yesterday the plaintiffs instituted
an amended petition In the same
court, asking this time that a tenn
porary injunction be granted imme-
diately and that a hearing be set for
a permanent Injunction. No date has
been fixed for hearing on this later
attempt.
