charging him with violation of the
city building code, which was sched-
uled for trail before Recorder Har-

man expects to have his t%ireproof-
ing we'll under way at least.
Last nights case was the second
complaint, alleging that Hyman
erected a building in the city with
out the required permit from the
building inspector. The defendant,
represented by Harry Medinets, sets
up a defense based on a misunder-
standing of the building code. The
neighbors pressing the charges
through George j. Miller, maintain
that the building is a be-
cause of it's wooden construction.
David Splitter and Robert Fullerton
are the complainants.
