RULING AGAINST MCKEE
ON POSTING HOTEL RATES

The District Court Of Appeals, in an
opinion by Chief Justice Martin. con-
Cured in by Justice Van Orsdel, yester-
day held that Ralph Mckee. proprie-
tor of the Metropolitan Hotel, must
defend in the Police Court the charge
of violating the act Of Congress ap-
proved May IT. 1924, requiring the
posting Of a schedule OF rates in all
rooms Of a hotel, and that he might
not sustain q suit for injunction
against the District Commissioners to
prevent threatened prosecution.
Judge Oscar e. Bland OF the United
States Court of Customs Appeals, who
sat as a member Of the court in the
absence Of Justice Robb, filed dis
senting opinion. Judge Bland takes
the position that substantial property
right Of the hotelkeeper are involved
and that he has no adequate remedy
at law. In this condition, he says. a
suit for injunction should be enter
tanned by the Equity Court.
The majority opinion does not pass
on the constitutfonality Of the pro.
vision, but merely postpones decision
until the appeal is taken in the event
Of an adverse decision in the Police
Court. Only one suit has been filed,
the majority opinion points out, and
that is probably a test case, and there
is no threatened multiplicity of suits
against the hotel proprietor.

D. c. HEADS ENJOINED
FROM CHANGING ALLEY
Owners of Property Prevent Pro-
posed Action Alleged for Benefit
of Baking Company.

Charles Compton and Sarah E..
Compton, owners of property at
Fourth and ] streets northwest, yes
terday won their suit for Injunction
against the District Commissioners to
prevent the changing of an alley in
the rear Of their property for the
benefit Of Charles Schneider Baking
Co. The District Court of Appeals
in an opinion by Justice Van Orsdel
reversed the decision of the District
Supreme Court and held the Com
lack authority to make the
change since 1t Is admittedly In the
interest of the baking company and
not of the public generally.
A condition precedent to the closing
of an alley, the Appellate Court points
out. is the application concerned in
by all the owners of property abut-
ting thereon. The Comptons did not
consent, therefore the Commissioners
had no authority to proceed, the court
finds. The Commissioners may not
accept a dedication, the court holds,
unless made for the use Of the public
and in turn such dedication must be
accepted for the public. In this case
the Commissioners proposed to accept
a dedication Of a small alley from
the baking company and to close al
leys now in use on which the COM
pany contemplated building.
The Appellate Court repeats its ad-
vice given the District Commissioners
in the Fay case in SO Appeals 295.
There, the court said, the Commis-
sioners are creatures of statute and
possess no implied powers. Their au-
thority, 1t was pointed out, must be
gathered from the express terms of
the law and they must complay
literally with the requirements Of law
in any attempt to act under q
statute.
