Judge G. Stiles forbids the name Jefferson Apartments for a new foundry building at Jefferson street and Park avenue to avoid confusion with another nearby apartment of the same name at Wirth and Jefferson. Owners H A Maine and H B Plumb sought the injunction, and the judge ruled there is no special necessity to name the new building Jefferson Apartments.
