Injunction Bans Clouhy Print Shop Operations
A permanent injunction was issued against Edward Clouhy of 3714 Madison Ave Brookfield barring him from operating a printing plant at that address. Judge Leonard Reid barred licensing by the village of Rockfield amid a zoning dispute and neighbor petitions. Charles Smuts of 3712 Madison Ave sued to stop presses and seek village denial of a license in a residential district. The village board had four meetings without cancelling the May 2 license. Clouhy claimed operations from a gas station office before the matter was dropped.
