job-seekers between the ages of 10 and 18 were encountering difacUlty in obtaining employment, due to the fact that defense industries are reluctant to hire youths of those ages. Tn many cases, she said, plants engaged in arlnaInents pro- duction observe the Walsh Healey contract. providing for child labor. and would be in violation of the contract is they were to hire young men and women. {
 Another reason is that factories must keep separate accounts for payroll, etc., for the youthful workers, entailing considerable ad. ditional bookkeeping.

 Corp; Denies Charge

Frederick Heinye, Waterbury, claims $500 damages, and seeks an injunction restraining the City and Suburban Homes Corp, of New York city, from collecting weekly payments of $500 from him, in a complaint lodged in common pleas court today.
 The plaintiff alleges that de- fault judgment was secured against him by the New York realty con- cern, during his absence, and with out his knowledge, in Waterbury city court. He further charges that this formed the basis of another

suit instituted by the corporation in common pleas court, as a conse- quence of which he was ordered to make the weekly payments. Grounds for the home owners ac- ton, he claims, were the contention that rent in an apartment in which he resided was in arrears.
 Since he vacated the apartment, the plaintiff asserts, the rooms have been rented, and a claim of the corporation that it was neces- Sary to make certain repairs, is without foundation.

Advocate
Replacing
Alleys

After careful investigation and
study, the Detroit City Plan Com
mission has formally adopted a
policy of advocating and approx
ing the substitution of easements
for alleys in existing subdivisions,
according TO George +. Emery, city
planner.
The commission finds many adj
vantages in such a change. The
alley is relic of antiquated plat
ting methods, Emery said. and IS
obsolete and undesirable for resi-
Dental sections. They are usually
unSightly, offensive and a catch
all for every type of rubbish and
debris.
The easement serves every
essential purpose of an alley for
public utilities, but has none of
its disadvantages.
Several instances have occurred
recently where alleys have been
closed throughout a subdivision.
Emery continued. and have been
converted into easements with
great satisfaction 10 the developers
and owners. The owner has OBJ
tanned a lot of greater depth with
more space on the rear for garden
development. while the developer
and builder have been unable TO
offer him this feature; a practical
improvement hitherto available
only in the higher priced subdivi-
sion.
ANY alley in a residential block
can be converted into easements if
all property owners whose lots are
served by the alley join in the
plan or if all such lots are held
in single ownership. Emery adj
viScd
An easement at least y feet
in width must be provided for,
which may be supplied by COM
bining feet from the rear ends
of both tiers of abutting lots.
All taxes on AUDITING property
must be in a currently sound con-
dition. warned Emery. and the
approval of the Common Council
must be obtained on the CONVEX
sion. which may be- sought through
the filing of an appropriate petit
ton.
Further information may be OBJ
tanned from the offices of the
Detroit City Plan Commission in
the Water Board Building.
