STATE OF NEW JERSEY, EX REL. THE REITZEL ESTATE, INCORPORATED, RELATOR, v. REINHART O. OSTERMANN, BUILDING INSPECTOR OF THE TOWNSHIP OF MAPLEWOOD, RESPONDENT.
    Argued October 6, 1926
    Decided January 28, 1927.
    Zoning — Two-Family House in Restricted Territory — Case Within Rule in Nutley Case.
    On alternative writ of mandamus.
    
    Before Gummere, Chiee Justice, and Justices Teen-chard and Minturn.
    Por the relator, Qharles J ones.
    
    Por the respondent, Samuel D. Williams.
    
   Per Curiam.

This is a zoning case. In the stipulation of facts it appears that the relator was the owner of property in Maplewood, on which stood a one-family house. He applied for a permit to convert the same into a two-family house according to .certain plans and specifications. The building inspector declined to issue the permit for the erection and alterations of the building solely because a zoning ordinance of the township of Maplewood zoned the property in question as a single-family residence district.

Of course, under the authority of State v. Nutley, 99 N. J. L. 389, a peremptory writ should issue, and it is so ordered.
