DOOLY BLOCK LAWYER
REQUESTS A HEARING

On behalf Of the owners OF the Dooiy
block William W. Ray, attorney, ap-
peared before the city commission last
night TO protest against the action of
the commission In allowing the Orpheus
Vaudeville company to construct an arch
across Second South street in front of
the new Orpheum theater.
The arch already is up, but the per-
NIT for its erection is held TO be tech
ncally imperfect because OF discrep-
ancy between the name OF the petit
toner for the permit and tho company
filing the bond. The Orpheum theater
asked permission TO erect the sign. and
the Orpheus Vaudeville filed the bond.
The commission. however, In executive
session last Thursday. assured sle Or
pheus Vaudeville company that the per-
init would be granted.
Mr.. Ray declared that he did not think
ii was fair for the commission to take
any action in tho matter without giving
him hearing. He was assured that
before the permit was formally granted
he would be given an opportunity to
present his arguments against it..
