Stephens explained in his opix jon that upon the general yr(vpnmflon} of law he thought that neither a busi- | ness house nor the public has the ex- clusive right to the street in front. “The business house is entitled to entrance and exit as a matter of ne- cessity to the conduct of business,” the opinion read, “but this right is | not an exclusive right and must be | adjusted to the rights of the public to | use the highway.

In this the court said that the primary object of the street was for the free | sage of the public and anything which impeded that free passage with- out necessity was a nuisance. “That if the nature of the defend- ant’s business was such as to require the loading and unloading of so many {more of its wagons than could con- veniently be contained within his own | private premises,” read the court’s | opinion in this case, “he must elther enlarge his premises or remove his business to some more convenient spot.” versus {PORTERHOUSE STEAK. \CHUCK STEAK |MASTER BREAD. | Treasure Island PINEAPPLE . ~p- OLD DUTCH MARKETS Specials for Thursday and Friday takce TOMATOES 2 11 23¢ LARGE Large Pan, About 6 Lbs., 59¢ No. 1 New Grapefruit VALENCIA Potatoes Thes Lasgest' Size Oranges on Market (Full of Juice) | | | 10ceach |41bs., 21c| 32¢ doz.
