REVERSED BY THE REFORM COMMISSIONERS
NATHAN STRAUSS MILKsTANDs.
BY order of the Park Commissioners yesterday
Supernendent Parsons took possession of the Clare
mont Hotel and restaurant in the Riverside Park,
and served notice upon Edward 5. Stokes, the
lessee that he must get out Immediately. 1t VIII

Commissioners renewed the lease OF the Caremont
Hotel 10 Edward 5. Stokes for five years several
weeks ago The action was taken at secret
meeting, and efforts made TO keep that can
destine performance from the knowledge OF the
public for time. At the same meeting the Park
Commissioners renewed the permit of Nathan Straus
TO place stands for the sale of milk in various
parks during the summer.
Recently the new board made an investigation
and decided that the lease of the Claremont Hotel
held by Stokes ought to be revoked, and the Com
missioners asked for opinion OF the corpora llon
Counsel as 10 their powers In the premises. MI
Scott gave opinion that the new board hdu the
undoubted right to review the action of the former
board and the Commissioners accordingly voted 10
revoke Stokes's lease ,. ~,
Nothing has been done yet about the permit heid
by Mr. Straus, but IT is understood that no action
will be needed to make the permit imperative
The permit reads that MIR. Straus may erect stands
at places TO be designated by the superintendent
of Parks and Mr. Parsons, by refusing TO uesie-
nate any places, can prevent the erection OF the
sheds Tor the sale of milk in any OF the parks.
