COUNSEL TO ACT
ON MARKET CASE
Will Decide Upon Erection
of Stand at 18th and V
Streets Northwest.

The responsibility for the establish
ment of a general market at Fourteenth
and Y streets northwest, against the
protest of many citizens of that section
has been put up TO the Corporation
Counsel, who has been asked by the
Commissioners whether or not they
would be justified in refusing a permit
when owners of 1924 square feet of
the block in which the market is to be
located ask for the permit The law
sets forth that a permit may be granted
il the owners of more than one-half of
the property sign the request for the
permit. In this instance the consent
of the owners of 50, ,996 was necessary.
When the project for the establish
ment of a market at this point was
first launched d storm Of protest arose
from people living in the vicinity and
several of the property who had
signed the petition, requesting the pei
NIT, withdrew their signatures. In fact
a sufficient number Withdrew their sig
natures to secure a refusal for the per-
nit. The inspector assigned to the case
for the District government prepared a
report for submission to the Commits
sioners recomnle nding the refusal of
the permit. Before he had time to for
ward the report, however, notice was
received that ore piece of property in
the block had changed hands, and that
the new owner desired to have the mar
ket, reversing the decision of the for
Ter owner This gave the market fac
ton enough signatures with property
behind them to secure the permit, IN
strict accordance with the law
The controversy that has been IN
progress since the project was first
broached has been so bitter, however
that the Commissioners hesitate to is
sue the permit when such a narrow
majority demands #, and have referred
the matter to the Corporation Counsel
for an opinion as 10 whether or not
under the circumstances 1T would be
legal for the Commissioners tc refuse
a permit, and whether. if the Commits
sioners should refuse the permit, the
courts would oVeTrule them

she was very hard on the bottom, and
there was every Indication that most
of her cargo would have to be removed
before she could be hoated.
The New York agents Of the line held
a conference with the life-savers and
were advised to remove the passengers.
Most of the latter were unnerved by
their experience as there was also
chance that bad weather might set in,
which would make the position of the
Lopez dangerous.
Mohawk Heard From.
The commander Of the Mohawk was
reached by wireless and he announced
that he would sail at once for the
steamer and advised that in the mean
while. the passengers be removed to
the wrecking tugs, which was done.
While the liner is in no particular
danger, it is feared that relocating her
will be a stupendous task. Last nights
surf was one of the strongest that has
swept the Long Island coast for months
and the Spanish steamer struck three
hours before high tide.
During the night, she was driven hard
upon the sands and has not given any
weather quiets down this afternoon, an
attempt will be made to lighter her
cargo, but if the present seas continue,
it simply will be dumped overheard in
the effort to tighten the steamer. She
