that 1t is now too late for them to with
draw from said protest. The law pro-
vides that from the reception and en-
dorsement of the date OF filing protest
by the clerk all further proceedings are
stayed for six months. To permit with
drawaIe from time to time would not
only render uncertain the time when
the six months bar begins to run, but
would permit the removal of the bar in
q manner not contemplated by the stat
utes.
1.-THE law provides that the only way
to remove the bar within the eix months
is by the filing OF petition signed by
the majority OF the frontage owners ask
ing that the work be proceeded with. A
withdrawal from a protest or petition in
order to be effectuaf must be filed before
or contemporaneousiy with the filing of
the protest or petition"
