MATTER FOR POLICE COURT
INSPECTOR HACKERS ANSWER
TO GARAGE OWNERS SUIT.
Original Action Filed to Test Va
lidity of Act Requiring Con-
sent of Property Holders.

Morris Hacker, inspector of buildings.
las filed answer to the proceeding for
mandamus instituted against him by
Charles Early to require the issuance OF
permit to conduct a public garage n
rear Of 211S 18th street northwest. The
suit was filed. il is said, to test the valid
ity of the regulation regarding the secur-
ing of consent of property holders before
allowing the establishment of public gar
ages.
Mr.. Hacker declares that the whole
matter can he thrashed out in the Police
Court, where Mr.. Early was charged last
June with violating the regulation by
using a building authorized a private
garage for the accommodation OF other
than private cars. Mr.. Hacker suggests
that the trial should be proceeded with
in the Police Court, from which an APP
peal can be taken to the Court of APP
peals if necessary.
The court is informed that, In the opin-
ion of Corporation Counsel Thomas. the
regulation is valid, and in that view OF
the law the inspector is within his rights
in denying the permit. IL the regulation
is invalid, he says there is no need OF a
permit. In either event there is no need
for a writ of mandamus Mr.. Hacker
says, and he asks that the rule against
him be discharged and the petition dis
missed at the cost of Mr.. Early.
