against his will late yesterday after

build the plant, that they didn't signify
how many men would be employed and
that the plant appeared to be two

for only one. Justice Crane ordered
that the permit be signed. anyhow.
Those details, he said, could be fixed
up later.
After five weeks OF fighting the en-
battled Staten Islanders have lost the
first line OF trenches. But the Nigi-
lance Committee Of One Hundred and
the Women's Anti-Garbage League
have not lost heart. An appeal from
Justice Cranes decision is being pre-
