The provisions of the statute
relative to calling an election to

1.-THE power of the court under

not a power to make an appoint

In view of the provisions of

Vendors
MUST QUIT SIDEWALKS
Commissioners Decline to Revoke
Recent Ruling to This
Effect.

Box lunch vendors must move from
tn sidewalks, the District Commits
sioners ruled finally today in consider
ing an appeal for revocation of their
former order to this effect.
But the dealers will be given an adj
ditional ten days from May 20. the
time originally set, in which to COM
ply with the order.
After considering the matter ex-
haustively in board session, the Com
missioners determined that they have
no option but to enforce the law,
which prohibits the use of sidewalks
for business purposes other than the
display of goods far a distance of
three feet from the building line. Not
only is it the law, but it is the Com
missioners' policy as well to improve
the appearance of the capitals streets
and wide walks by requiring the re-
moval of all Instructions and pro-
pections prohibited by the regulations.
1t was stated.
In extending the time limit so as
not to work an undue hardship on
lunch vendors, who do big business
daily at the entrances to the govern
ment buildings. the Commissioners
suggest that these dealers can meet
the reasonable requirements of their
business by procuring pushcar liz
censes.
The Commissioners. it is stated.
also are willing to go a step farther
than this and permit the vendors to
place boxes in the corridor of the
Municipal building. where employees
may purchase lunches without the
necessity of leaving the building. 1t
is the belief of the Commissioners
that the lunch problem may be large
" solved If the authorities in charge
If other government buildings will
extend the same privilege
