Case AFFIRMED
Galanty and Alper vs.. The City Of
Maysville Which Was Decided In
the Mason Circuit Court Re.
Gently Upheld by Higher
Tribunal.

In the Court of Appeals on Friday
the case of Galanty and Alper against
the City Of Maysville, which was ap-
pealed from the Mason Circuit Court
recently was upheld. This case is one
that has been attracting a great deal
1f attention from all parts of the state.
Several months ago a building was
erected to the rear of the Central Gar
age Co. for use by that establishment.
The building was erected when a petit
tion was sent into the Council asking
that a permit be granted to build the
same. The Council refused to grant
the permit on advice from Chief New
ell, who objected to the building say
Ing that 1t was a menace to the other
buildings in that district. The build
ing was ordered torn down.
Galanty and Alper then filed a petit
tlon III the Mason Circuit Court asking
for an injunction against the City and
Its employees from entering upon their
property and destroying it. At the
same time suit was filed by the city
asking that the action of the City
Council be ratified by the Court. The
City won In the case
In order that there might be no fu-
ture trouble in this matter the City
decided to get an opinion in the case
from the Court Of Appeals. The state
fire marshal, who was greatly inter-
ested in the case, helped to pay the
expenses of the appeal in the case.
The result of The appeal has been
stated.
