CHAPTER FOUR

WHEN KAREN said, Hello,
how are you this morning - she
made it as casual and friendly as
If she were not so taken by surprise
in encountering the shabby young
man OF the trailer again. Casual
ness was good cover-up for aston
ishment, and frendliness should
make him see that she was not the
mean little snob he thought her.
But the young mamie did not
appear quite so shabby. although
his blue sport shirt was faded and
his tan Stacks were far from new

His manner was curt, his answer
brief, Il am quite well, thank you

bered - regarded her with that
quizzical expression she had found
so annoying It was almost as II

To cover her annoyance, and for
want OF something better to say,

looking at the ocean"
She wondered why he had chosen
this particular stretch OF beach.

Supreme Court Justices Hear
Arguments On Local Meter Case
Attorney Cassidy Petitions for Remission of Court
Costs in Recent Battle to Test Legality
of City's Action

Gregory Lynch recognized his pub
lic-spirit in bringing the action. He
called the state justices attention to
a brief presented by Mr. Lynch to
Common Pleas Court Judge Thorn
as j. Wall suggesting remittance of
court costs. Mr.. Lynch made the
request on the assumption the city
would receive the lower courts deci-
sion. The city's costs there amount
ed to $66 and appeal costs totaled
1898 80, all of them charged by the
high court to Mr.. Cassidy. No pub
lie statement has been made on per-
sonal costs of the plaintiff in con-
testing the legality of the meters.
Procedure
Although the city opposed modi-
fication of the original state SUI
preme court judgment resembling
the costs, the arguments are be-
lieved to have been presented as a
procedural Formally. Several sources
have reported the city officials are
not particularly anxious to penalize
Mr.. Cassidy by $459.80, despite the
fact that the bill has been present.
ed to him and they have insisted on
immediate payment. The bill origin
ally was to be paid June 30, but Mr..
Cassidy at that time instituted his
motion to reopen the case on the
question of costs, and the common
pleas court clerk was advised to halt
the taxing of the costs.
Eiref nncicsor1
Decision for Mr.. Cassidy was re-
turned Sept. when he was award
ed 500 damages and granted an in
junction refraining operation of me-
tiers in front of his property on
West Main street and also on Leav-
enworth street, with execution of
judgment withheld however, pend
ing the higher courts decision. The
first hearing was conducted in June,
1912, and appeal arguments were
presented last February. The final
opinion, in which all five justices
concurred, came last month.

Justices Of the State Supreme
Court Of Errors in Hartford con-
Quoted brief hearing this morn
ing on the motion of Attorney John
H. Cassidy for remittance of court
costs in the city parking meter case,
and a decision is expected to be
handed down shortly. Oral argu-
ments were presented by Attorney
Lawrence L. Lewis, counsel for Mr..
Cassidy, and Corporation Counsel
Maurice T. Heaiey. Both Mr.. Cassidy
and Assistant Corporation Counsel
Edward Mcdonald attended the spe-
cial session.
Richard H. Phillips, executive re-
porter for the high court, said the
decision will be handed down in
the usual manner, despite the fact
the hearing took place at a time
when the court is recessed for the
summer. The courts opinion is Or
dinarily printed and an advance re-
lease transmitted to newspaper.
Final Ruling
Decision on the question of costs
is expected to be the last official
reverberation in the litigation which
for many months held an interest
ed local public in suspense. Mr.. Cas-
sidy who first won the case and
then lost it when the city took an
appeal has indicated the official
battle is over and he will take no
further legal steps to GUST the me-
tiers from local streets.
Mr.. Lewis argued the plaintiff in
stituted the action as a public-spir-
tied citizen after many local prop
erty owners questioned the city's
right to install meters on sidewalks
in front of their premises. He held
the litigation in reality did favor
to the city and other municipalities
of the state as 1t established the
legality of parking meter operation
and close legal speculation on the
matter.
The plaintiff further pointed out

He indicated that corn and al

ducers to maintain as many cattle,
hogs, sheep and chickens as possible.
The present outlook on feed indi-
Gates that a substantial reduction
in livestock numbers will be neces-
sary during the next IL months.
Jones estimated that the total
slaughter of meat during the next
IL months. Jones estimated that the
total slaughter of meat during the
next IL months will average about
so per cent more than for the years
1885 through 1910. The number Of
cattle in the United States is at an
all time peak of about 100000
head.
Farmers will be urged to produce
as much milk, eggs and meat as
possible from the feed supplies that
this country will be able to grow OF
import, Jones said.
Pork output for the next II
months, he said, is likely to be s.
per cent above the 1936-19I0 level
beef and veal 38 per cent and lamE
and mutton slightly higher than
those years. The 1914 livestock pro-
gram will be developed in line with
the feed yields from 1943 crops

BOARD REQUESTS
OFFICIAL PROBE.
Governors Criticism of

Republican Aldermanic Leader
rurton H. Walker reminded the
board of aldermen at its meeting
last night of Governor Raymond E.

KY, hopes that the committee will
hae specific information on the flu
ture status Of draft-age fathers by
mid September. He tried before the
recess to get an official indication
of the prospective date when the
Army expects to begin drafting
fathers. But letters written to War
Manpower Commission chairman
Paul v. McNutt and Selective
Service Director Lewis B. Hershey
produced little definite information.
But I understand" May said.
that the Army has established a
time before which they do not in
tend to call bona fide fathers
There has been much confusion
about manppower and the induce
ton rate, some Of which was at
tributable to the fact that changing
conditions presented changing prob
lens. In mid-April McNutt and
Hershey explained new regulations
which seemed to mean that all
registrants between 10 and 38, eX-
cept 100000 in especially deferred
classifications, would be indicted by
January /, 1914. At that time the
armed forces were planning to have
100000 men in uniform by the
year end.
AS of April 30, Hershey told
Congressional subcommittee that
1868 men had been indicted,
5,457, 1924 of whom were drafted and
| 2,348,0O0 of whom enlisted. There
were about 100000 men in the
armed forces when selective service
was set up. That made an aggre-
gate of approximately 100000 men
in the armed services on April 30.
1t was estimated then that the
armed services would require $780,
900 additional men OF meet their
January 1, 1914, goals.
