referred to the police officials.
The indications are that on the coming
inauguration there will be in the city an
immense crowd Of strangers. and ] have
reached the conclusion that it would be
IA great benefit to everybody II there could
lunch counters for the purpose of supply
ing hot coffee and sandwiches.

factory places near the line Of march can
be provided. the inaugural committee will.
so far as 1t has any power to do 80. give
its consent for this purpose. l think that
lunch counter at 9TH street and Penn
Sylvania avenue at some point on the
pavement would be a great public. con-
venence; another one south of Pennsyl-
vania avenue and 9th street could be BEN
eficially located and another one at 18th
street below the Treasury Department
and still another near the Peace Monu-
ment.
Maj. Sylvester said today it would be
contrary to law for the police to issue
permits for such lunch stands. but that
in emergencies such as exists at inauGu-
stands in order to provide for the public
comfort
