THREE OPPOSE
 LEvERTY BROS.
But Court Dissolves Injunc- tion Against North Ave.
 Building.

Three North avenue property own CTS appeared before Judge Walsh in the common pleas court this afternoon to oppose the dissolution of the in junction recently granted to restrain J. A. Leverty and James Leverty from building an addition to their drug store at Main street and North ave nue. The remonstrants were Deputy Collector of U. s. Customs John H. Shannon, Lawrence F. Nealon and John Brown, Jr. They claim the druggists have no right to build over the established line.
 shannon testified that he receive ed no notice of the hearing in the Common Council in 1917 at which time Leverty brothers were granted permission to erect the addition. The witness said the building line was esta blished in 1893 and had been ob- served by other property owners. Nealon and Brown testified to prac- tically the same effect.
 On cross examination Attorney Thomas M. CuIIinan, counsel for Lev erty Bros, brought out that Shan non's property is on the opposite side of the street from the proposed ad- dition his view would not be ob. structed. Assistant City Clerk Rob- erL J JOneS was also on HdEU lie pro- duced records to show that all prop erty owners in that block had receiv- ed notice of the hearing in 1917.
 Judge Walsh dissolved the injunc- tion on the ground that the three re- monstrants had not built back of the present building line. The city char ter provides that a building may pro- ject over the line if the consent of those who had built back of the boundary is obtained. This consent was obtained by Leverty Bros.
