Auditorium Use for Paid Entertainments Denied Injunction
Judge Hazen denies injunction to prevent city from renting the auditorium for entertainments. He notes two issues: if such an action can be maintained and whether the building is misused. The decision cites Massachusetts precedent and warns the town may rent for non municipal purposes if necessary. Crawford says he will appeal to the supreme court.
