Removed Fixtures
 Get Injunction

The passing Of BuT1enAs Cafe has been en1ivened by the charge that P. W. Wren and Stephen P. Cronan, said to be in control of Bualen's Cafe, Inc, have threatened to remove the heat ing plant, bar fixtures and othe equipment without authority. Pauline s. HaviIand and Isaac F. HaEiland, owners of the building at 10S Bank street, have obtained an injunction in the superior court restraining the ce1e owners under bonds of $1e,00o from removing the fixtures. The title of the owners of the building to the fix lures is disputed and the alter will probably be fought out in court.
 It is alleged in the complaint that Cronan held a lease of the building which expires on March 31, next By the terms of the lease the owners claim that the 1esseee agreed to de- liver up the premises in good condi- ton and commit no waste Never theless the owners say threats were made that the heating plant, plumb ing, bar fixtures, ranges ovens and electric wiring would be removed. Judge Curtis granted the injunction.

 t'As far as the city employees go such as clerks and officials in City Hall and other departmental ern- pioyes, the city has a perfect right to state at what time they shall be- gin and end their work, but unless given authority I don't see how the City Council can pass a valid Day light Saving ordinance
