Moving Picture Licenses.

While the corporation counsel's de-
cision regarding the renewal of licenses
for moving picture shows is based un-
douhtedly upon rules of business equity.
il Is to be hoped that in it's application
il will not initiate against the rights OF
property owners and of residents as re-
CARDS the suppression of nuisances. The
dec sion Is to the effect that when the
necessary approvais have been given by
the nronerty owners and residents for
the establishment of one of these places
% amusement 1t is not necessary to Sc
cure them a second time when anpiica-
ton is made for the renewal OF the
license. This is undoubtedly fair to the
uer who have put money into the equip
ment of these theaters. II would be I'M
lust To them to leave them subject to
the caprice Ct others when they have in
vested cons derabie sums on the sup
position Of CONF aratiye permahence.
At the same tine il is conceivable that
these places may develop into ruisances.
Perhaps the signatures to the applica-
tons for ] censes have been given with
put full realization of the consequences
In such circumstances there should be,
and probably is. a way for those who
regard themselves as affected unfavor-
ably to appeal for an abatement. The
