fective opening Of credits which was ear.

" thout saying that 1t is not now a
question OF opinion but of Immediately
sending food supplies, payment for which

THIRD INJUNCTION
 ON NORTH AVE.
Judge Walsh Enjoins Lev erty Bros. From Building
 Addition to Store.

The latest development in the fight of certain North avenue residents to prevent J. A. Leverty and James Lev erty from erecting an addition to their drug store at North avenue and Main street was the issuing of a third in junction today by Judge Walsh of the common pleas court. The other in functions had been granted by Judge Booth of the same court but were re- voked when the petitioners subse- quently withdrew the use of their names.
 These who asked for the third writ are John Brown, Jr., Lawrence B. Nealon and James H. shannon. All are property owners on North avenue between Main street and Hurd ave nue. They say the proposed addition to the store goes beyond the establish ed building line.
 Leverty brothers claim they secured a permit from the building Commis- sioners to go on with the work and say they are acting within their lega. rights.
 Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan, coun- seI for the druggists, will make 8 mo- ton within a few days to have the in junction dissolved.
