calling for the prompt repair or the
razing of four dwelling units at the
southwest corner of Twenty-second

the intersection.
The building inspector served the
notice on the American Security &
Trust Co., as trustee for the estate
of Alice Slater Kehoe. Col. Och

For Stolen Property
Will Be Abolished
Commissioners Order
Police Department
Practice Changed

Agreement was reached today by
the Commissioners that the long
standing practice of the property
clerks Office of the Police Depart
ment, of requiring persons to buy
back from pawn broker or second
hand dealer stolen property sold to
the dealers, will be abolished as
soon as better arrangement is
perfected.
They called on the Office Of the
corporation counsel to review the
practice and to recommend legisla-
ton if necessary.
Acting Corporation Counsel Vernon
E. West, who conferred with the
Commissioners today, said the prac-
tice was bad" but that legal re-
sponsibilities must be considered in
abolishing the system or establishing
new procedure.
Mr.. West explained that in many
cases there is more than one
claimant for recovered property and
that the Commissioners should be
careful to see that the police prop
erty clerk is not left holding the
bag"
He suggested for consideration a
new policy. under which the clerk
would give notice to the real owner
of the property, the secondhand
dealer or other known claimants of
proposed action in settlement Of
a case, calling for a hearing. He
said he would have to study the
matter further before deciding
whether legislation would be nee
esSary.
Mr.. West said he agreed with Ell
wood H. Seal, retiring corporation
counsel, that the existing practice
should be abolished.
