Danley garage firm fined Danley's Garage World, a garage construction company doing business at 2815 Durand has been fined $5,000 for alleged violations of Wisconsin's home improvement code and price comparison advertising code. The fine was part of a consent judgment against Danley Lumber Co. of Illinois, owner of Danley's Garage World. "Consent judgments," in consumer law enforcement, are a means of stopping alleged improper actions without the onus of conviction of a violation of law on the company involved. "By entering into the consent judgment, Attorney General Bronson LaFollette said, "The corporation did not admit to any violation of Wisconsin laws ot that it had engaged in any wrongdoing." In addition to the fine, the judgement which was signed by Circuit Judge Thomas P.

Corbett, enjoins the Danley corporation from using misleading advertising, using baitand-switch tactics, failing to notify customers of the reasons for delays in performance by the company, advertising price comparisons which aren't really in effect, and advertising products and services without saying they require the purchase of other products and services. The action against Danley's Garage World was the product of a combined investigation by the Racine County District Attorney's office, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, which has responsibility for consumer protection, and the office of Attorney General Bronson LaFollette.

Kornwolf, of 3201 S.

Stinson was fined $137.50 by Judge Richard Harvey recently after Stinson pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct charge stemming from a series of harrassing telephone calls made to Kornwolf in February.

Despite the short notice, Hall said, 18 persons showed up for the meeting.
