WIGGINS et al. v. YOUNG et al.
    No. 9756.
    United States Court of Appeals District of Columbia.
    Argued April 9, 1948.
    Decided April 26, 1948.
    Mr. Claude A. Thompson, of New York City, for appellants.
    Mr. Chester H. Gray, Principal Assistant Corporation Counsel of the District of Columbia, of Washington, D. C., with whom Messrs. Vernon E. West, Corporation Counsel, Oliver Gasch, Assistant Corporation Counsel, and Edward A. Beard, Assistant Corporation Counsel, all of Washington, D. C., were on the brief, for appellees.
    Before EDGERTON, PRETTYMAN, and PROCTOR, Associate Justices.
   PER CURIAM.

This appeal is from an order dismissing a complaint for an injunction to restrain the Board of Public Welfare of the District of Columbia from closing one of the child day care centers it has operated under general statutory authority to operate not more than 14. 60 Stat. 540, as amended, 60 Stat. 894; Pub.L. No. 123, 80th Cong., 1st Sess., 61 Stat. 188; Pub.L. No. 237, 80th Cong., 1st Sess., 61 Stat. 425. The Board’s decision is plainly within its discretion. We regret the resulting hardship to the appellants, but we have no authority to substitute our discretion for that of the Board and no reason to assume that our discretion, if exercised, would lead to a different result.

Affirmed.
