concrete footing fer the walls when the
bank which supported the frame build
ing on the next lot suddenly slid into
the cellar leaving the west wall of the
house without foundation
Brick veneerinE. fastened to the frame
wall by spikes added to the load on
tho rotten timbers and the entire west
side of tho structure is now sagging

Last spring F. S. Betz. who had a

70 build a business block on ths m.
Gubitz refused To move out 50 the psoj-
