The properties concerned include the northwest corner of Court and E streets, the middle of the block on E between Court and Fourth streets, and the middle of the block on Fourth street between E and F streets.

According to the original complaint, the plaintiffs are attempting to prevent the defendants from closing an alley at the rear of their properties, which they allege has been in public use for more than 30 years.
In their answer and cross-complaint, Mr. and Mrs. McFarlane contended that the alley in question is not a public alley and that structures and barriers have been maintained for more than five years to enclose the properties.
The temporary injunction is expected to last until the suit is definitely settled, and is granted only on condition the plaintiffs post $1,000 bond.
