This includes George Zochary, a neighbor whose only legal access to his home is via the lane. The botton picture shows debris ond trash piled along the fence line. Because of this, Zachary signed a complaint against, his neighbors. (Photos by Sheriff's Dept.)

Nor did he complain about the inconveniences in getting to and from his home where he lives alone. But when the people next door piled rubbish and debris along his Backyard fence, the quiet-speaking Zachary went to see the district attorney. Late Wednesday arrest war ants were served on Mrs. Eva Stone, 70. and her daughter, Mrs. Elsie McGhehcy of 333 NE Oak land Ave. The charges: "Humping rubbish on private property."

All we Sweeping Excise Law Changes In House Measure WASHINGTON (AP) The House Thursday approved a com promise bill making sweeping changes in the excise tax laws. 11 was one of three big tax-revision measures providing a wide range of special tax benefits on which Senaic-llouse conferees ad justed differences Wednesday night. Both Senate and House are ex pected lo complete congressional action on the measures this week and send them to President Ei senhower. The trio of bills would afford tax relief to small business, movie theaters, community swimming pools and skating rinks, stock whisky distillers, investors and many other taxpayers. A the same lime, the legisla tion would close loopholes in the law which permit taxpayers to claim mistresses as income tax deductions, rienv rplirpH rmmlea larger credits on their retirement! income, or allow II. S. citizens to escape federal estate taxes bv Inking up residence in Puerto lilco. Also, policemen and other peace oftirers would be denied the right t.i deduct daily subsistence allow ances from their taxable income. These are but a few of many provisions contained in three bulky and complex bills revising the rev enue laws, making adjustment in the excise tax laws, and setting up special tax relief for small business concerns.

The feud between the neighbors has been brewing a long time. Now il is coming to a head in district court. This morning Judge Warren A Woodruff arraigned Ihe two de fendants who pleaded innocent to the charges. "I ain't a hit guilty," said Mrs. McGhehcy when the judge asked how she wished to plead. Her mothermercly said, "Not guilty." Zachary has alleged in his com plaint the women have cluttered his back yard and fence line with boxes, old clothing, and other rub bish and refuse such as bedding, old machine parts, and cans, "all of which detracts from Ihe ap pearance of the property and cre ates a stench that detracts from the cleanliness" of the place. Judge Woodruff admitted both women to bail of $50. and set their trial dales for Monday afternoon, Sept. 8. He explained they could request a jury trial if they so desired.
