GARAGE OWNER MUST HOLD CAR TO HAVE LIEN

Valparaiso Vidette. Judge Harry Crumpacker, in the superior court this morning, in the case of H. R. Templeton vs. Louis Kulp, decided where the plaintiff filed a mechanic’s lien in the recorder’s office for supplies and labor done on an automobile, it was not sufficient to preserve the lien. Attorney F. B Parks appeared for Kulp, and produced a late decision made by Judge Ibach, of the appellate court. This decision will 'affect all garage owners as well as parties who own automobiles. Hereafter garage men will have to hold possession of the automobile to protect their lien. Judge Crumpacker declared he did not think the court should be bothered with such trivial suits, as they longed to the justice courts.
