Able Hansen Gets $500 Verdict
In District Court Action For
Damages In Mefuchen BorO.

Abel Hansen, head of the Fords
Porcelain works and director of the
Raritan Trust Company recovered
$3.50 from the Borough of Metuchen
on a verdict by a jury before Judge
Freeman Woodbridge in the District
Court yesterday r~damages alleged
to have been done to his Woodbridge
avenue property in Metuchen by the
borough in 1917 when a new side
walk was laid.
Mr.. Hansen claimed that the Dor
ough had infringed upon his lawn and
grounds owe a distance of 496 feet
and to a width of eight feet maximum
and 400 feet minimum, or about
1880 square feet.
1t seems hat in 1917 the borough
laid a concrete walk along a certain
portion of his frontage which was
subsequently found to be within his
own line. The walk was later taken
up and relaid, Mr.. Hansen claiming
damages from the borough for the
shrubbery and grass torn up and the.
gravel and fill dirt left on his prop
erty.
incidentally the jurors learned
something about dirt. 1t appears
that there is dirt, and dirt. And then
there is just ordinary dirt.
Edwin G. Fraser, a real estate OPP
orator of this city was teStifying for
Mr.. Hansen. Senator Brown repre-
senting Mr.. Hansen asked If he had
seen the place recently. He answer
ed that he was there yesterday.
The jurors then heard this story:
Question, Senator Brown, 'Well
what was the matter with it?"
Answer. Mr.. Fraser, why. there
was a lot of dirt along there"
Q. Dirt all along the sidewalk ?"
A. mo dirt in spots"
Q. We'll, what kind of dirt?"
A. "Oh, just ordinary dirt"
And for that remark Mr.. Fraser got
a laugh. But that wasn't all. Knud
Hogge, a lawn gardner told the jur-
ors the difference between the cos
of resoddlng a place with sod and
with grass seed by cultivation. Even
Judge Woodbridge let his magma
ton wander and assisted Mr.. Hogge
| to picture to himself thick grass 'the
roots all woven together and the
grass as smooth and green as vel
vet" Everybody in the court room
sighed and thought of boyhood days
and lawns hat they had seen such
grass Hr. Hogge finally said that
he hadn't gone into the matter of
relative eos of regrassing with sod
or with seed but that seed cost about
six cents per sQuare foot to lay on
level ground.
Photographs of the Hansen coun-
try home were produced by F. NJ. p.

PLANS To SELL
Club Names Committee to
Dispose Of Baseball
Grounds

w WI
TOTTENVILLE, July 16-The Tot
tenville Athletic Club baseball
grounds in Sprague avenue, will be a
thing of the past very soon if the
plans of the club are carried out as
adopted at a meeting of the ~organiza-
ton Monday night at the club house
in Amboy road. In a resolution
adopted it was decided to sell the
property, which is composed of nearly
two acres of ground situated on the
south side of Sprague avenue n
west of Kepple avenue Tottenville.
A committee was named composed OF
Cornelius Shea, the president of the
club; Joseph Bedell and Joseph T.
Belts, to sell the property. The prop
erty consists of about fifty-four build
ing lots and was considered at one
time the best enclosed baseball ground
on the island.
All efforts to revive baseball again
this year on the grounds have been
met with absolute failure and no
other revenue coming in from the field
the club decided to sell the property
and to dispense with baseball alto
gether. The club is said to be unde-
cided as to what they would do hould
they be successful in d~isposing of the
property. They might secure other
property on which to erect a club
house, or they might lease a place
for club imposes. The Tottenville
Athletic Club was organized a number
of years ago by Walter Z. Sharrot,
who was its president, and financial
hacker for some time until he re-
signed from the club several years
ago. He was manager of the baseball
team for several seasons.
Mr.. Shea has been president of the
club and manager of the baseball
team for the past several years. Up
until the war the baseball club en-
joyed prosperity, but since that time
there has not been much enthusiasm
here for baseball. which is the main
cause for disposing of the property.

By Special Correspondent.

BIZ Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, July 16.-The
Ocean View Cemetery, through
Frederick A. Bunn, its attorney. has
brought suit against the State and

Health, to restrain them from ineer-
fering with the use for cemetery pur-
poses of the land in Richmond bor-
ough, bounded by Gifford's Lane, Am
boy Road, Clark street and Freshkill
Road.
The complaint alleges that Ocean
View Cemetery and st. Agnes Gene
terry were chartered on Oct. Is, 1893,
and that subsequently a contract was
entered into with the Metropolitan
Land Company, which agreed to
transfer land for cemetery purposes
as fast as needed. The real estate
firm agreed to sell this lane for one
half the amount received by the ceme-
teries for it, the complaint alleges.
The new City Charter approved by
the Legislature April IS. 1912. how

II didn't see any wild apple trees

well, Mr.. Hansen testified that
it was a wild apple tree. Don't you

where the shrubs were as Mr.. Han-

The verbal fight finally drew to a
close and the jury went into session
to sift the evidence in the case. But

engaged in a legal tilt.
