zIotnick Loses Battle
TO Buy Apartment
Occupied 20 Years

Samuel D. Zlotnick, the furrier
today lost a fight in the District
Court of Appeals when a con-
tract he held to buy his old
apartment at the Broadmoor was
voided.
The majority opinion of the
court, Judge E. Barrett Pretty
man dissenting at length, affected
Mr.. Zlotnick's use of quarters he
has occupied for more than 20
years. Attorney Leo A. Rover
representing the Broadmoor Co.
operative, said that in the light
of the courts ruling the Zlotnick
apartment will be offered for sale
to another party.
When the furrier moved into
apartment 102 as a rental tenant
it had only one bedroom. In 1881
the management assigned to him
a second bedroom detached from
adjoining apartment 100. All ap-
parently went we'll until the whole
building was bought by the COOP
in 1948. and each of the apart
ments was offered for outright
sale.
Contract Held Void.
Mr.. Zlotnick went to the co-ol
and contracted to buy for $13 3,UOc
what he thought was his entire
two-bedroom layout. The co-or
signed the contract thinking il
was selling a one-bedroom apart
ment, like numerous others in the
building.
Although the coop intended
that the bedroom added to apart
ment 102 in 1881 was to revert to
Apartment 100, Mr.. Zlotnick in
sisted that he didn't understand
it that way.
He said he had seen no prospec-
tus nor floor plan indicating re-
version Of his second bedroom. He
emphasized that the contract
paper he signed called for pur-
chase of apartment 1O2" and
apartment 102 as he had known
it for II years had two bedrooms.

Owing to this essential mis-
understanding as to what was
being bought and Sold" District
Court ruled the contract invalid
and Mr.. zlotnick appealed.
Appeals Judges henry w
Edgerton and David Bazelon
agreed with the lower court, but
Judge Prettyman described their
decision as "unsound law and still
less sound public policy"
Pointing out that the wording
in the written contract specified
apartment 1922" which both
parties had described as present
ly occupied by" Mr.. Zlotnick,
Judge Prettyman took that to
mean the Zlotnick apartment as
| it had been occupied since 1881
with two bedrooms.
The dissenting judge went
further to criticise the floor plan
which the coop showed Mr.. Zlot-
nick. THE plan was" on a Lilli-
putian scale, hardly decipherable.

This fact is found In a study
of 56,S48 samples. of soil sent
to the College of Agriculture OF
Ohio State University during the
past Z years.
Z. P. Reed, extension agronomist
for western Ohio, reports that 73
percent of the samples tested this

ties needed lime in amounts vary
ing from 112 to 3 tons per acre.
OF the samples tested in 1943,

Evidence is also found that

year, while the figure for 1948-
