Justice Clabuagh today denied the pc
tition of Mr. Patrick Dannaher for a
writ of maudauus to compel the Com
missiouers to award him the contract
for the privilege Of hay scale No 3 for
the coming year The court also dis
solved the temporary restraining order
granted some time ago enjofning the
Commissioners from reselling the priv
leges Of the hay scale during the pen
deuCy Of the. proceedings.
Attorney Henry E Davis, represent
ing the plaintiff. took an appeal from
the judgment Of the court relative TO the
dismissal Of the restraining order.
Mr.. Dannaher claimed that he is en-
titled to the privileges Of hay scale No.
because he was the highest bidder
when the privilege was put up for sale
at auction. He bid sos for the prIvi-
Iege. The Commissioners, however, had
Instructed the auctioneer TO place an
upset bid Of $500, and claim that Mr.
Dannaher's bid was not entertained as
received.

principal uses to which the institution

and the morgue should be accessible.
therefore, b the harbor boat and as
near as convenient TO the Office Of the
Harbornaster.
The vacant space referred to was
too narrow for the purposes of the
morgue, and Judge Cole undertook to
arrange for additional space already oc-
cupied, adjacent 70 the space available
for the moTgue. He has informed the
Commissioners that~he has been success
full in obtaining the space required. aai
that when he returns 10 the city the
necessary title TO the land VIII be Sc
cured.
The plans for the morgue were drawn
three years ago BY the late John Brady,
then Inspector Of Buildings. They pro
vide for two-stoTy building supported
on piles, CT feet long by 81 feet s inches
wide. The ground floor is planned 20 be
occupied by the receiving room and
morgue proper. wagon room. stable for
horses, Office. and engine room.
The second story is to be arranged for
an inquest room. a room in which 10
conduct autOpsies. room for witnesses
and other rooms for records and lab
oratory-
It is expected that the building plans
Will need little change TO accommodate
themselves TO the appropTiat ton made
for the purpose. As soon, therefore. as
