Baker Versus General Telephone Testimony Continues
In Common Pleas Court on the second day of Baker vs General Telephone Co of Ohio defense counsel J B Vanity Jr called Milton Nuzum Albert F Raulin and Merril Landis to support that the Washington Street exchange would not encroach on Baker's Congress Street apartments more than a March zoning board variance. Chief issues include potential loss of rental income and light air and fire hazards cited by Baker while General Telephone argues the exchange is built to minimum tolerance and moving it would cost over two million dollars. Judge Bolin reserved on dismissal and witnesses concluded with briefs due in 10 days and oral arguments to follow before a ruling.
