WHO GETS BREAKS
TO SELL this GAS?
City Officials Have Perplezing
/. Station Tangle to UnraVel

Who will sell gasoline. the per-
son who holds the permit, or the
person who holds the lease for the
property?
This u the peculiar problem which
city officials and officials Of the de-
partment Of motor vehicles at Hart
ford have been called upon to de-
eide.
The issue is raised by the trans
fer Of tho lease Of filling and serv-
Ice station at High and Broad
streets by Mrs. Mary Wisk to George
Jackson and B. H. Tirrell. proprie-
tors Of Georges Tire service station
at Park and Stanley streets.
Some time ago Frank Prospect OF
the P. v. Tire and Battery Co., 261
Myrtle street. applied at City hall for
= permit to sell gasoline at High and
Broad streets, saying he was going
to lease the station at that place.
His application was approved and a
local permit granted.
Prospect had not yet received a
state permit, without which he
would not be permitted to sell, when
Mr.. Jackson called at the office of
Mayor Weld yesterday to obtain a
similar permit for the same station.
saying that he and his partner were
going to lease the property. He
learned to his surprise that Prospect
had. applied, paid his s25 fee, and
obtained the local permit.
jackson Immediately called at the
Wisk home where the lease was
signed giving his firm the use Of the
property for five years. He then
filed the lease with the town clerk.
Later he went to Hartford and laid
the matter before the motor vehicle
department. Nothing could be done
there at the time, since it is neces-
sary to obtain local permit first.
He was told that. pending an adj
Justment Of the mixup, no state IL
cense would be issued to Prospect.
Mr.. Jackson last evening called
on Mayor Weld for a local permit,
which he said would Immediately
void the permit now held by Pros
peri. Mayor Weld told him to file
An application in the usual manner
and the whole affair would be
thrashed out at a future hearing.
Messrs. Jackson and Tirrell this
morning took over the station. Since
the owner of the property holds a
permit to sell gasoline which does
not expire for a year, gasoline is
being sold today by the latter.
Until the hearing before the board
Of public works, the situation now
stands with Jackson and Tirrell In
possession of the station but with
no right to sell gasoline in their
own name, and with Prospect in pos
session of local permit to sell gaso-
line but with no legal right to OPP
crate the station. while the owner
OF the property under an existing
permit still sells gasoline. Some
body has wasted q perfectly good
$500.
1t Is likely that jackson and Tir-
rell will be required to submit blue
prints OF the location OF the prop
erty and other data at the hearing.
