TEST D. c. BUILDING LAW
IN U. S. SUPREME COURT
Payment for Party Wall Subject of
Dispute Between Property
Owners.

The building laws of the District Of
Columbia are involved in case be-
fore the Supreme Court Of the United
States-Ernest G. Walker agt. Gene
We've X. Gish-in which brief was
filed today by S. Herbert Giesy. coun-
sci for Walker.
1t appears that Genevieve K. Gish
owned a two-story house which has
been constructed with a nine-inch
party wall next to property pur-
chased by Walker. The latter desired
to use it to build a three-sto-y house.
Under the building regulations it was
impossible to use the nine-inch party
wall 1t was necessary either to tear
down the wall and erect n new one
or to build the wall altogether on
Walkers property. which would still
leave a part of the Gish wall also on
his property. Mr.. Walker undertook
to erect a nine-inch wall up TO two
stories and then widen il to thirteen
inches. Genevieve K Gish demanded
payment for the party wall. which
was resisted by Walker.
