HOLDS ITS PERMIT
Arcade Market Authorized to
Continue Business.
PROTEST IS UNAVAILING
Cancellation Regarded by the Com.
missioners as Impracticable.
Maj. Judson's Views.

After weighing carefully the protests
against the Arcade market at 14th street
and Park road, and the arguments and
petitions in favor of this new enterprise.
the Commissioners have decided not to
stand in the way of the permit for the
market which has already been issued. A
delegation of property owners had pro-
tested at great length against the market
at prolonged hearing. when Kisses and
cheers were mingled with legal phrases
and animated argument. The Commits
sioners were asked to revoke the permit.
1t was alleged that the market people
were not complying with the law; that
their market would be a nuisance; that
property would depreciate in value along
14th street and Park road.
Basis Of Protest.
One of the points OF contention was
that the regulations made it mandatory
that a market should be yelled from con-
fronting dwellings by buildings" A sin
gle wall interviewed between the market
and the dwellings in the neighborhood in
terested.

Thousand Signatures Affixed.

Last night thousand names reached
the Commissioners. all appended to a
statement that the market would be a
benefit to the neighborhood. The Com
missioners believe that the benefits out
weigh the disadvantages.
The Commissioners had Corporation
Counsel Thomas render an opinion, and it
is said he held that If money has been
spent 10y the company on the faith of the
permit, then the Commissioners cannot
revoke the permit until the public interest
requires such revocation. Also. it is ex-
planned that the protesting neighbors still
have the right of Injunction.

at congratuating the successful rivals
are cited as proof. Let US. my dear
friends, overcome the feminine trait that

II you hear Of an engagement OF A

your friendly wishes for happiness To
the woman, and a short one 10 the

success In winning the greatest game

II you have ever received them you
will understand the warm glow OF ap-
probation that follows the written sug-
gestion that your happiness means
much TO your friends.

you do not offer congratulations.
