the Kay Properties, Inc., which built
the homes.
Mr. Davis can get out by the back
way, having built a roadway from
an adjoining street. But who wants
a home without a front gate, he
pointed out. To have the house
turned around and moved will cost
money. He believes he is entitled to
one or the other.
Jackson to Address
Federal Bar Banquet
Solicitor General Robert H. Jack
son will be the main speaker at
the 20th anniversary banquet Jan
uary 20 in the Mayflower Hotel of
Leonard L. Davis of Silver Spring
wants free and unhampered ingress
and egress to his home at 615 Chesa
peake street, or in lieu thereof $10,
000.
In a suit filed in Montgomery
County -<Md.) Circuit Court, Mr.
Davis asks one or the other, access
to his front gate or $10,000 from the
Kay Properties, Inc., of Baltimore
and five of his neighbors who, he
contends, have constructed buildings
and fences on the public highway
called Chesapeake street, Silver
Spring, which he and his prede
cessors in title have enjoyed for a
long period of time, to wit: More
than 20 years.
The address is important. Mr.
Davis believes, because on the map
there is no 600 block of Chesapeake
street. Yet he received a building
permit in 1932 to construct a house
at 615 Chesapeake, and as late as
March, 1938, secured a permit to
make improvements thereon. He
still gets his tax bills from the
county treasurer at 615 Chesapeake
street.
Yet when he walks out the front
gate he enters the back yard of one
or more yards facing on Gist avenue.
On wash day there are blankets and
other more personal belongings on
the clotheslines which separate
him from the hard-surfaced pave
ment on Gist avenue, and several
fences block him from Takoma
avenue. After dark it is dangerous
and to avoid accidents he has wired
up his front gate.
According to Mr. Davis’ attorney
Paul D. Taggart, the strip in from
of his house has been used as s
thoroughfare for 50 years. Over i1
he got his coal and other household
services and had access to his prop
erty with a car or other means ol
transportation.
Now Chesapeake street ends in the
700 block, at Takoma avenue, anc
where the former alleged right o
way started is now situated a brick
house. The owner, George T
Hunter of 605 Takoma avenue, is £
defendant in the suit with Carl Dor
man, 621 Gist avenue; Paul A
Moore. 623 Gist avenue; Peter L
Flaherty, 625 Gist, avenue, anc
Graham Yates, 629 Gist avenue, anc
