Map Squabble Ends In City's Victory

A tourist map maker's suit took a wrong turn for him Friday in Federal District Court when Judge David Dyer failed to see that he had a unique set of routes. Judge Dyer dismissed the suit of L. W. Larson, who sued the City of Coral Gables, the Chamber of Commerce, Parker Printing, 303 Alcazar Ave., and John Giffen, another tour map publisher. Oral arguemtns for the defendants were made by attorney Owen Freed. Pruitt and Pruitt represented Larson. The suit, filed Aug. 8, contended that the City and the Chamber used a Larson map on which to base its own Guided Tour map. The dismissal resulted when Larson was unable to show that his map was original. Larson has 30 days to amend his suit if he wants to go back into court.
