SUPERIOR COURT.
WatervilIe. luna &,

Watervflle, June 8.
Court came in at $50 o'clock this
morning. The first case for the jury
| was No 461 Walter Z. Roderick ct al.
VS.. Alex Quirion, both of Waterville.
/ Harold Dubord appeared for plaintiff
and Perkins & Weeks for the defend
ant.
The Plaintiffs, Roderick & Micue, are
contractors, and this suit was brought
for a balance claimed to be due for
building a concrete wall: for extra
work, and for damages for breach of
contract in not allowing the plain
tiff to do a plastering job that was
promised them.
According to the testimony of the
plaintiffs and their witnesses the con,
crete wall was to be built for $500 in
consideration that plaintiffs also plas-
tered the building to be erected on the
wall they built. The extra charge was
for changes they stated were made in
the wall while it was under construc-
ton.
The defendant filed plea in recoup-
ment, claiming damages in the sum of
$500 for poor construction of the con-
crete wall.
Civil Engineer John Burleigh testi-
fed as to the cubic feet in the wall as
built, and as it would be If built ac-
cording to the contract
The defendant took the stand. He
testified that the last check he gave
plaintiffs was in full payment, as
agreed between he and Mr.. Roderick at
the time the payment was made.
In regard to giving the plaintiffs
the plastering job, he said that they
were to have the plastering If he
plastered his walls, but they would
not have it If he used sheet rock,
| which he finally decided to use. He
| testified that the wall as finished was
not satisfactory to him. Other wit
| nesses testified in support of plain
| tiffs' contentious.
The testimony was completed and
arguments of counsel made at the time

Copy of Libel

The Libelant alleges that she was
married to the said libelee at Jeffer-
son in the State of Maine on the 18th
day of September 1913; the said libe-
liant and libelee cohabited in this
State after their said marriage; that
the libelant resided in this State when
the cause of divorce accrued as here
matter set forth, and had resided here
in good faith one year prior to the
date hereof: that the libelant has ever
been faithful to her marriage obliga-
tionS, but that the said libelee has
been unmindful of the same; that on
the End day of June 1921 he utterly
deserted the libelant without reason
able cause and has continued said de-
sertion for three consecutive years
next prior to the filing of this libel.
that since their intermarriage the said
Hbelee has been addicted to gross and
confirmed habits of intoxication; that
being of sufficient ability he has
grossly, wantonly and cruelty neglect
ed and refused to provide suitable
maintenance for your libelant: that he
has been guilty of cruel and abusive
treatment and extreme cruelty towards
her, as follows, to wit:
That four children have been born
to them during their said marriage,
now living. viz: Walter E., age ~,
Warren j.. age ~, Raymond A, age
9, and Clarence F., age Z.
Wherefore, she prays that a divorce
from the bonds of matrimony between
herself and said libelee may be de-
creed, and that the care and custody
of their minor children may be given
to her: also that reasonable alimony
be decreed to her out of his estate: or
in lieu thereof that a specific sum be
paid to her by him.
And the libellant further alleges
that she has used reasonable diligence
to ascertain the present residence of
said libelee, but is unable to do so,
and does not know where 1t Is.

Faster Boulevard Traffic.

A 30-mile an-hour speed limit on
portions of three boulevard highways
in the District has been announced by
Tranic Director Eldridse. These
streets are Pennsylvania avenue south
east, Bladensburg road northeast and
Ala bama avenue southeast. This limit
will become effective as soon as the
proper markings and signs have been
installed.
In taking this action Mr.. Eldridge
is carrying out the boulevard plan to
it's logical conclusion. Boulevard
streets of the modern type are de-
signed to provide quick and safe trans
portation routes from the suburbs to
the city.
For this reason it would seem that
the higher speeds to the three streets
named. but should allow 80 miles an
hour on portions of all boulevard
streets in Washington.
Connecticut avenue from Cleveland
Park to Military road. Massachu setts
avenue from 8 street to Wisconsin
avenue and Rhode Island avenue
from North Capitol street to South
Dakota avenue are some OF those cited
as ideal Ehfares for a higher
speed limit.
Washingtonians have now become
familiar with the boulevard plan.
There should be no more delay in COM
pletion of the entire project. Ade-
quate markings. a high speed limit
and cooperation from the motorist
will bring about the happy state OF
affairs of fast, safe traffic in and out
Of the city.
Motorists, however. should realize
that the 3o.mile limit does not mean
that they can travel at this speed re-
sardIess of the density of traffic and
other conditions which might make it
dangerous. The reckless driving clause
in the trafic regulations will descend
heavily on them il they drive at even
20 miles an hour when the streets are
crowded and traffic is congested.
In na ming only the three streets the
ira fic director is proba bly, intending
to observe the plan for a short time
to see how it works out. From ex-
perience in other cities it has been
proved successful, and it Is expected
that Washington will soon have all
Of it's boulevard streets with a 30-mile-
an-hour limit.
