Grove Street
Property In
Litigation
Probate court Appeal
Placed on Superior
Court Docket

Property owned by the late Mary
Scott williams Of Waterbury at
$50 Grove street, and now held in
trust was the subject Of discussion
in court again today when a pro.
bate appeal hearing on claim Of
william I. Eggleston Of WATERFOWL
and Harriet Hill opened before SUI
perior Court Judge Francis A
Pallotti.
Nearly two years ago a stay of
execution was given In election pro-
cecdings brought in Common Pleas
Court by the trustee, the waterbury
Trust company, against three coll
ored persons who occupied the
premises.
The probate appeal was started
by two bcneficiaries OF the win
of the late Mrs. Williams. They
claim the probate court acted IL.
legally IN accepting a revised final
account submitted by the trustee,
without hearing. The estate is
comprised of the Grove strete prop
erty.
The two appellants claim the
; trustee allowed the premises TO be-
come rundown and fall into ruin
They claim the trustee would moi
permit them to give money for re-
pair work. They claim the ac-
count enormously listed a deficit
cue the trustee OF $2,430.60. They
state the property has been rem
dered valueless BY the trustee
Life tenancy was provided by Mrs
williams on the property for hel
husband, the late Shadrock VII
iialns. who was driver for the Amer
lean Brass Co., in the horse anC
buggy days and for total OF n
years.
After Mr.. Williams died. his son
daughter in-law and brother con
tinued to occupy the premises. anC
the election proceedings were thel
started against the trio.
It was claimed in the probate
appeal that the bank as trustee al
lowed persons to live on the prop
erty without paying rent.
The stay Of eviction had been Civ
ell in the other court TO the tnre
occupants to enable them to find
! place to live.

be determined, completed, or filed
until on or after March !, 1896,
when the Board Of Tax Review will
complete its hearings on appeals
from assessments"
Charging that it was premature
" instituted" the city states tins
suit can not be properly or right
fully considered or entertained by
this court either sitting as a court
Of equity or otherwise
If the court should sustain the
demurrer then the plaintiffs would
have to plead again in order TO
keep the case on the docket.
Early Disposition Seen
Attorney Healey said today that
pleading over In a case Of that type
would be equivalent to filing new
action.
BY filing the city's answer today,
the Corporation Counsel made way
for early disposition Of the action.
Under the rules Of procedure he
had 20 days from today in which
TO file an answer. Although the
case was filed nearly two weeks
ago it was not returnable to the
court until today.
Co-plaintiffs in the suit with the
newspaper firm are the KDR Real
ty Corporation and the Eastern
Color Printing Company.
Asked For Judgment
They have asked the court 70
issue a declaratory judgment oe-
termining the legality Of the city's
action in setting a 2S.75 mill tax
rate when such a tax rate will pro-
duce funds in excess Of the set
appropriations. The court also Is
asked to determine the legal" tax
rate, and disclose whether or not
! the city can collect more fund.-
than are needed to meet city ex-
penses.
The plaintiffs also seek injunc-
tions restraining the city from col
lecting taxes based on the rate Of
2S.75 mills.
It will be argued in behalf o.
the city. it was indicated, that the
legality of the tax rate can no
be raised until after the Grand Lis
on which it is based is completed
and finally submitted.
Recent action of the city tax as
SCISSOR in ordering a 10 percen
across-the-board cut is expected Il
secure an extensive decrease in tn
previously announced total, and
final figure that is different from
the one on the books when the tai
suit was filed. Changes also ar
expected to be made as a result o
appeals.

st. Paul Council
Asked to Demand
Probe Of Tenn.

The St. Paul City Council was
asked ITO urge the Federal govern
ment, through the proper agencies,
to make an investigation Of the
Columbia, Tenn, sO-called race
riot by the Rev. Clarence T. R.
Nelson, pastor of Camphor Me-
mortal Methodist church, and presi-
dent of the St. Paul NAACP,
when he appeared before the Coun-
Gil last Friday"
AT first thought" Rev. Nelson
told the Council members, you
may think that the Columbia situa-
ton is a foreign matter, but it is
not, because what affects people in
Tennessee is of vital concern to
US here in Minnesota. Furthermore,
the people of Tennessee, including
the whites, are not yet free, since
it is a poll tax state and needs the
help of people in other parts of the
country"
Upon the motion Of Commission
err Milton Rosen, the Council voted
unanimously to send a resolution
to President Truman and Governor
Jim McCord, after the facts of the
riot" had been checked by City
Attorney Bruce Broadly.

CLIO Bowling
Tournament Takes
Democratic Stand

MILWAUKEE, - The Milwaukee
County CLIO Bowling Tournament
started in that city last week. The
American Bowling Congress which
practically rules bowling in this
country instituted an inquiry as to
whether the tournament was open
to whites only. When the ABC
found out that this was not the
case, the ABC withdrew it's sanction
of the tournament. This sanction"
is important to bowlers, as it means
that they are eligible for prizes
awarded by the ABC if they should
chalk up high scores. 1t is to the
eternal credit of the bowlers in this
tournament that not one participant
withdrew in spite of the fact that
the ABC had refused to sanction
the labSr tournament.
The Milwaukee County CLIO
Council passed a resolution con-
demning the Hitler-like constitution
of the ABC which limits participa-
ton to white only. Incidentally,
the ABC also barred Negroes from
its national tournament now taking
place in Buffalo.
The Milwaukee CLIO also an
nounced that it was sending a dele
cation to Buffalo to register a pro-
test against the anti-Negro policy.
