WIN FIGHT OVER SCALES.
Court Holds Commissioners Have
Power TO Remove Hay Weighers.

Justice Mccoy of the District Su-
preme Court has discharged a rule is
sued against the District Commission
ers to prevent the removal of the hay
scales at 18th and B streets north
west. Hymen A. Stearman. the sue
cessful bidder for the scales for the
present fiscal year. sought an injunc-
ton claiming that the income from the
scales would be impaired If they were
removed and urging that no notice Of
contemplated change of location had
been incorporated in the proposal for
bids or at the auction sale where he
was the highest bidder.
In deciding in favor of the Commits
sioners Justice Mccoy says: THE Com
missioners have the authority TO
change the location of any scale in
the District whenever they may deem
such change to be in the public inter-
est. The purchaser, or successful bid
der, does not acquire the right to con-
troll the location of scales and the
Commissioners could not make any
contract which would prevent such
change in the public interest"
Attorney Mark Stearman appeared
for the petitioner. Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Stephens represented the
Commissioners.
