And License Charges

Wells B. Kern, 80, said to be new
owner Of the former Star Hotel, Ills
Ninth street NV, yesterday was ar
raigned in Municipal Court on
license and zoning violation charges
involving the building.

ued the case to next Friday to allow

North Glebe road, Arlington, and his
brother Willis purchased the build
ing following eviction of the tenants
by Municipal Court order.
Officer Wallace said the building
is nearly completely renovated and
no longer condemned. He said it is
now partially occupied and that Mr..
Kern has applied for rooming
house license and an occupancy per-
nit, but not for an apartment house
license.
Since units in the building con-
sist of some one-room- -kitchenette
apartments" and single rooms, the
officer explained, both types Of
license are required.

cized Assistant Corporation Counsel

building as the "Star Hotel" pro-
testing conditions now bear no re-
semblance to those publicized in
