CLEVER FORGER

Mythical 81. C. Wright
Orders Grease But Never
Comes for 1t.
LEFT FORGED CHECK

1t must have been someone with ex-
traordinary cleverness, according to
the police, or things wouldn't have

were.,
George Temper, Jr, high school
student who lives at 726 Exchange
street, and who is employed two even
ings a week at the Sinclair filling sta
ton, corner park and Chicago streets,
was on duty about six-thirty o'clock
on Tuesday evening when a well-dress-
ed young man, tall, thin, and light
completed, dentered and declare
that he was the city surveyor at the
city hall, and ordered five pounds of
cup grease for the city car and one
pound for his own car. He gave Trem-
per a check for $3.50 and received in
change $9.05.
The check was made out to j. G.
Wright, endorsed by him and signed
by "Charles Allen & Son."
Never Came for Grease.
Wright" declared that the car was
standing in front of the city hall and
that he would go over and drive it
back to get the grease. He never came
back.
And today Tremper discovered that
the check came back to Manager Al
Rooney, of the filling station, marked
"No Such Account" And George
Tremper is having difficulty finding
"City Surveyor ]. G. Wright"
In his description of the man Trem-
per, told Sergeant Leo Buchanan that
he looked something like that man
pointing to Sergeant Emil Meissner.
Meissner, however, was quick to en-
ter a sweeping denial.
The police are pursuing clue
which might lead to Wright's arrest.

NEW INJUNCTION
SERVED ON CITY
New Legal Question Up in
Sheridan Road Widen
ing Project.
is A FRIENDLY SUIT
Injunction Is Brought to De-
termine Who Should
Fix Assessments.

An important development in the
legal proceedings, which are now UNI
derway in Kenosha for the condemna-
ton of property along Sheridan road
between Prairie avenue and Market
street, for the purpose of widening
that thoroughfare, occurred this morn
ing when the first hearing of the COM
mission was postponed by reason of
the fact that there has been served
on the city an order to show cause
why the assessments and damages in
the project should not be assessed by
the board of public works rather than
by court commission. The order is
in effect an injunction to prevent the
city from proceeding with the COM
mission hearing until this point of
law has been decided.
The order is brought in the nature
of friendly suit in order that the
court may hand down ruling on the
legal question involved before any
further steps have been taken in the
original method started by the city.
Hearing on January 18th.
The order to show cause which was
served this morning, was, brought by
two of the property owners affected,
acting for all Of them. It sets the
10Th of January for the date for the
hearing on the order, at which time
City Attorney G. E. Randall and At
terneys: A. T1s-sZzszury and A. q. Buck
master, the latter two Representing the
property owners, will present argu-
ments on the point at issue.
The city in starting the condemna-
tion action, took the procedure which
has been followed in the majority of
such cases, asking the court to name
a commission to establish benefits and
damages. This commission has been
named and was to have it's first hear
ing this morning.
Will Settle Legal Point.
Meanwhile question has arisen
after a study of the laws affecting
street widening projects as to whether
a commission appointed by the court
or the board of public works should
hold hearings in this case and estab-
lish benefits and damages. To avoid
further litigation the order to show
cause has been drawn and an order
from the court on the question in
volved must be awaited before other
steps can be taken in the street wild
ening project.

COURT DECIDES
FRIEDMAN CASE
Judge Belden Holds Fried
man Had Right to
Build Basement.
THE CITY MAY APPEAL

An interesting decision was handed
down by Judge E. B. Belden in the
circuit court of Kenosha county this
morning when he held for the PLAIN
tiff in the action brought by Max and
Stella Friedman against j. M. Albers,
building inspector of Kenosha, and
the city of Kenosha, involving the ap-
plication of one of the regulations of
the zoning ordinance.
Several months ago the Frledmans
had made application for permit to
build basement under building
which they have been using for store
purposes. The building is located in
a residential district and building OPP
erations there are governed by certain
restrictions, one of these being that
where the building has been used for
non-conforming uses, it may be con-
tinued to be thus used by that no
structural changes in the building are
TO be permitted.
Built Basement Anyway.
Building Inspector Albers refused
to issue q permit for the erection of
the basement under the building, al
leging that this was structural
change. A permit had been previously
issued to the Friedmans for the erec-
ton of garage building on the site
and with this permit they continued
and erected the basement in question
On this charge they were hailed into
court for violation of the building per-
nit law and were fined.
The basement, however, had been
constructed and the point at issue was
whether or not they could be prevented
from using it. The present action was
q petition to have, a permanent injunc-
ton issued to prevent the building in
spector from in. erfering with their use
of the basement.
Not Structural Change.
Judge Relden after hearing the case
handed down a decision this morning
in which he held in effect that the
building of the basement was not a
structural change" and was not VIC.
lation of the regulation of the coming
ordinance. The decision pointed out
that additions to the side or even
addition of another story on the build
ing might be structural change but
that the court did not hold the Dig
ging of basement under the building
as such. The order directed that the
relief sought by the plaintiff be
granted.
A possibility that the city might
carry the case even farther doomed
up this morning when it was staesS
that an appeal might be taken to s
higher court.
