 To Gas Station at Mason Drive

Opposition to a zone change which would permit erection of a gasoline filling station at Shuttle Meadow avenue and Mason Drive. was so pro- nounced at last nights meeting of the board of adjustment as to result in withdrawal of the petition.
 Attorney Cyril F. Gaffney, coun- sel for A. W. Mason. the petitioner. took this action to avoid an adverse vote. explaining that the request may be made later in the event that Corbin avenue is made a part of the state trunk line highway system.
 Councilman Rodger w. Whitman of the first ward. who with Attorney Israel Nair expressed the opposition of the owners of neighboring prop critics sought to have a vote taken and the negative action entered in the records. but when it was ex- plained that such vote would not bar a future petition, he offered no further objection to withdrawal.
 Opposition to gasoline filling sta ton at this point had been antici- pated. When the meeting was called to order last night, the office of the mayor was crowded with objectors and when those favoring rejection of the petition were asked to stand. hardly a seat was occupied.

 Commissioner Stevenson revealed the basis of the action, in his state- ment, which reads:
 Tn the interest of the public forming a correct idea of this case, I am prepared to make statement for which l take full responsibility. Mir. Hastings is valued member of our firm. For three years he has known of growing intimacy be- tween Mrs. Hastings and Mir. Broder. He had refused to believe that his wife was guilty of any serious of- fense and gave her the benefit of the doublt in cases of unexplained absences from home. He returned only last Wednesday evening from months trip abroad. On Friday evening he was informed that Mr. Broder and Mrs Hastings were in a room at the Highland Court hotel At once he rushed in his car to the

The movement for change In Wash

no disposition t. lake the initiative in

Commissioner Dougherty said he

OF Director Harland. but that of Mai.
