Clifford H. Booth, of New Haven, 
Conn., has obtained a temporary in- 
junction restraining the Slavonian 
Cemetery Association from using 
land on Boston avenue as a ceme- 
tery. The property adjoins Mr. 
Booth’s land which includes about 
seven acres and has an ice pond and 
three ice houses on it. He urges that 
the establishment of a cemetery will 
pollute his ice pond and damage his 
business. The hearing on the per- 
manence of the injunction will be 
heard the first Tuesday in September 
before Judge Geo. W. Wheeler of 
the Superior Court.
