Majority Of Court Holds That Commits
sioners Had Right to ResCind the
Vote Granting License.

its jurisdiction and It's action could neith-
er be rescinded nor reviewed on certo-
rari, would be to hold its action must
stand, even though It Is directly contrary
to the statute.
"The purpose of certiorari," says the
chief justice, ''is to bring the record of
an inferior tribunal before higher court.
to examine whether jurisdiction existed
in the lower court and whether its pro-
ceedings were regular
Chief Justice Stiness reviews the cir
cumstances under which the writ will be
granted. saying the matter to be deter
mined should be one of substance and
not of form, and adds:
IF the petitioner had no right TO a Ii
cense as appears by the record, he Is not
harmed by its refusal. eveEstho"gh the
board had not the technical right to pass
the resembling vote.
THE case therefore comes down to
the question of fact whether the allega-
tion OF the record that the place did
not conform to the statute was true. If
so. the vote granting the license was void
and the court will not interfere to quash
the resembling of void vote"
The petition for writ is therefore dis
missed.
Mr.. Justice Tillinghast In the dissenting
opinion filed by him holds that the board
OF license commissioners is a quasi-judi-
cial body, and In the performance of their
judicial functions It sets and acts as a
court OF limited jurisdiction. and hence
is governed by the ordinary rules which
apply TO such a court.
One of these rules. his honor says, Is
that after decision or judgment has
been rendered or made and the court has
adjourned, its jurisdiction over the matter
is exhausted, and hence It has no further
power in the premises.
IL there was Misrepresentation about
the premises his honor says II might have
been ground for revoxing a license. but
tnere must have been an opportunity
given to the party holding license TO be
heard on any charges.

within that circle, she must wake

DISPOSAL OF ASHES.
Estimate for $4,000 Submitted b!
Commissioners.

The District Commissioners today sub
mtted to Senator Allison, chairman of the
Senate committee on appropriat lions. rec
ommendation in support of an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to enable the municipality to
collect and dispose of ashes. The Commits
sioners request that the appropriation be
made part of the District appropriation act
now pending in the Senate.
The systematic collection of ashes and
other refuse, state the Commissioners, has
long been imperatively needed here. Ashes
mixed with decaying and putrescible mat
ter and other refuse, tin cans, ETC., are
swept, they explain, and thrown from
houses and back yards into the public al
leys, principally by the poorer class Of peo-
pie, who are unable or too Indifferent to
procure their removal by an ashman thus
leaving a most insanitary condition, which
the STRENGTHENING department is compelled
to abate at the expense of its own appro-
priation. and to the corresponding detri-
ment Of the regular cleaning service.
1.-The citizens Of the District say the
Commissioners, "are almost universally in
favor of the removal of ashes by the mu-
nicipal authorities, as Is done in nearly
every other city in the United States and
Europe"
1t is believed the recommendation of the
Commissioners in this matter will be favor
ably acted upon by the Senate committee
on appropriations, and that the Senate will
vote the appropriation requested.
