In One Duplex
Grow Complex
One small fragment of the
housing problem was ironed
out Saturday morning, but not
before it had caused more
than a little confusion among
two families trying to move
into the same side of a duplex
at the same time.
Even DUtrict Judge Clarence
Mills had to admit. "I’ve heard
about cases like this, but I've never
met one face to face before.”
Advance Rent Paid
The case of English versus Aus-
tin began April 18, when Alvie Aus-
tin fiaid $35 advance rent to Virgil
Haney, owner of a duplex at 104
BE 30. Then the case skipped a
month to May 16. when Herman
English paid 8105 advance rent to
Leroy Haney. Virgil's brother—for
the same apartment.
Thursday morning Austin and
his wife moved some of their house-
hold goods in a truck to what they
thought was their new address.
Shortly afterward. Mrs. English ar-
rived to move into what she thought
was her new address. v
Mrs English. a‘ woman of action,
called her lawyer and got a court
order preventing Adstin from cross-
ing- the threshold. Then Austin
called his lawyer, and everybody
went to court Friday.
