August 1, 1928, construction permits were issued to the trustee of the Amer- ican Publishers’ Committee requiring completion by January 31, 1929.

Curtis following a complaint by the grievance | committee of the bar was upheld today by the District Court of Appeals in an opinion by Justice Charles H. Robb. Curtis had been accused by the com- mittee of making a false afidavit in a_ suit in the Municipal Court by which he sought to secure a judgment of $600 against Mrs. Anna M. Griffiths, a former client, by the statement that the entire sum was due him for profes- | sional services when he had been paid $100 as a retainer and had in his hands an additional $75 belonging to the " Four justices of the Dis our ces of e trict Supreme Court heard the evidence some m%'n& ago and ordered the lawyer's disbar- ment, from which he appealed.
