THE. s T. if 2 z Among the large real estate transactions of the past year may be men- tioned the purchase by Attorney Frank W. Michalak of the bed of the old Chicago River. Mr. Michalak intends the erection of modern office build- ings on this land, the excavation having been done in advance. Fred Bartlett, our demon congressman from the far South Side, has re- cently expressed a willingness to introduce a bill in the next Congress providing for longer tennis courts and shorter racquets. Fred always had a hankering for Tennis and Common Law Pleadingg he says the two make an ideal combination. Hi Boyajian, attorney for the well known oriental rug firm, Boyajian iv Charney, maintains that their carpets cover a lot of ground. It is esti- mated that 'A'-lule sold three million artificial flowers and four thousand yards of fringe last season. The authenticity of these figures is dependent on the word of Bob Klenha. Klenha, by the way, now owns Cicero, having purchased it outright from the National Prohibition department. Bob, be- sides acting as Mayor in his spare moments, drifts into court occasionally to lend a helping hand to his city prosecutor, Kagan. just now Kagan is having a wee bit of difficulty in adjusting his salary to a figure that will be entirely favorable to him. If he is not successful he says that he will swing over to Maywood, where .Ed Markham holds sway. ' As attorney for the Board of Education, Bill Quinn has been kept mighty busy the past few months. His-recent attempt to question the appointment of Erv Wright to the board, on the grounds that Erv didn't like school teachers, was greeted by a storm of criticism on the part of Wade Schaubel, Wright's sponsor. Schaubel, who sells pencils to the board, is anxious to secure Wright's appointment, as this move would greatly aid his plan to have all blackboards removed, thus giving him full control unless some fountain pen man should come along and steal his thunder. The newspapers have it that Art Skidmore is returning fromiWashing- ton where he has consulted the famous patent attorneys, Swanson 8: Servos, with reference to his newest type of alarm clock. No home is complete without it, says Mr. Skidmore. Attached to any door knob it is better than a radio set to keep friend husband by the fireside at night. Kalmon and Kennedy, very early in their legal career, mutually realized the mammoth possibilities in the radio field and formed a law partnership for the purpose of mastering any legal problem that arose in connection with the growth of that industry. This firm has figuredlargely in both the legislation and litigation of radio matters for the past twenty years and they have come to be familiarly known as the Radio Cats of the Legal Field. They are now counsel for the International Radio Corporation which has lately been accused of violating the Sherman Anti-Trust Law. Hruda, formerly of the Western Electric, is General Manager of this Company. 1925 1 fl R Q5 Page 71
