Henning Property Not Condemned

HENNING PROPERTY NOT CONDEMNED

The Case Was Not Properly Commenced

THE FAILURE NOT DUE

To Any Acts of the Present Administration But Were Technical Failures of Last One

Another city case has been thrown out of court. The Henning property was not condemned Wednesday, because of failure to take the proper steps in beginning the suit. This failure occurred during the administration of the previous city attorney.

All the testimony in the case was taken, when the defendant's attorneys, Messrs. Cavanaugh of this city and Graves of Detroit, made the points that no notice of proposed condemnation had been served on the defendant or his agents, that the return of posting notices did not state when the notices had been posted and other technical points of like nature. These defects were fatal and the court took the case away from the jury.

If the property is condemned the case will have to be commenced over again, the city having been put to the costs of the present suit without avail.
