COMMISSIONERS CITED
IN AUTO STATION FIGHT
Must Show Cause Why Permit
Should Not Be Issued for e12
Pennsylvania Avenue.

The District Commissioners were
cited today by Justice Hoehling of
the District Supreme Court to show
cause January IL why a mandamus
should not be issued to compel them
to grant a permit to install gasoline
tanks and a service station at 912
Pennsylvania avenue northwest. The
order Is based on a petition of Will
liam H. Schrom and James D. Carr,
who purchased the property for this
specific use. It Is stated.
Through Attorneys Bell, Marshall &
Rice. Mr.. 6chrom says he entered into
contract to buy the property for
$4,000 after he had been assured by
District officials that It could be used
for a service station and after permits
for driyeways across the sidewalks
of Pennsylvania and c street in the
rear of the building had been issued
to James D. Carr, his partner in the
enterprise. His application for hte
gasoline tanks met the laws require
ments he says, and was approved by
the building inspector, frs marshal
and chief engineer of the fire depart
ment, but was rejected by tie Com
missioners.
When former Assistant Corporation
Counsel Marshall, one of his lawyers,
of the rejection, Mr., Schrom states.
he was advised that this Commission
ers considered the allowance OF drive
ways across the sidewalks there
detrimental to the public interests.
Mr.. Schrom claims the Commits
sioners are without legal authority
to deny the request for the applica-
tion, and declares he will be finan-
cially ruined If required to complete
purchase of the property and not al
lowed to use II for the purpose de-
