ADJOURN HEARING
 ON INJUNCTION

The hearing on the motion to dis solve the temporary injunction issued to Dr. Maurice RoSen which prevent ed Thomas Morrissey from interfer- ing with a sewer which drains Ros- enS property and runs across the Morrissey land on Fairfield avenue, was adjourned for one week by Judge John R. Booth of the Court of Com mon Pleas this morning.
 About thirty years ago Elmer Grumman who owned the property on Washington avenue between West and Park avenue obtained permission adjoining property facing on Fairfield avenue to allow him to run a sewer across the Hawley property to the Fairfield avenue sewer.
 This. sewer was entirely forgotten until Morrissey, who bought the Haw1ey property, began excavations fled to remove the sewer.
 Rosen refused and claimed that the sewer had been in place so long that he had acquired the right to con tinue it under the rule of adverse possession
 Morrissey claimed that it was al- lowed under a license only which his insisting that the sewer be re- moved Rosen obtained the injunction
 The case was adjourned so that Dr. Rosen might see if another plan he had in mind was workable and it is believed that the matter will be amic- ably adjusted.
