Mr.. George SIMMONS as<secr ethJy, of the

written a letter to The Star. explaining
that Mr.. NJ. A. Ballinger, when he appeared
before the District Commissioners in refer
ence to the Garry Flats was simply car
rying out the instruction of the association.
Mr.. Simmons says the association had di-
rected it's executive committee to look into
the matter and take whatever action it
deemed necessary. Continuing, Mr.. Sim
mons writes: As

tuting said committee were present, the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That NJ. A. BaHmger, the
president of this association, be, and he
hereby is, directed to appear before the
beard of Commissioners of the District, and
there to do all in his power to prevent the
erection of the fats on 14th and Binney
streets to any height above sixty feet, that
being the width of said Binney street
"Mr Ballinger has at all times disclaimed
any personal interest in the subject and has
uever even expressed an opinion to the asso-
citation or the executive committee, as to
the wisdom of this protest, but has simply
acted in obedience to the above fnstruc-
TONS"
