Objection to Mearns sale halts Tuesday auction
In a District Supreme Court petition filed by trustees J. Miller Kenyon H. Rozier Dulany and Byron A. Graham owners of Lewis Johnson Co assets including 23018 Street NW property belonging to William A Mearns banker broker seek an order stopping the public auction set for next Tuesday. The case contends the lots tied to a first deed of trust with Washington Loan and Trust Co and a second deed to secure a note for 2000 are encumbered and that selling the parcels would depress value of the remaining estate. The petition notes Mearns paid 80000 for the property and that current market value exceeds debt.
