In the Matter of the Application of Hazel Woods Merritt, Respondent, for a Mandamus Order against John Isbister, as Inspector of Buildings of the Village of Larchmont, Appellant.
   Peremptory order of mandamus reversed on the law, without costs, and alternative mandamus order directed. We are of opinion that the relator has failed to show as matter of law that the provisions of the Zoning Law prohibiting the use of this property for other than residential purposes are arbitrary and unreasonable.

Settle order on notice.
