Answering the rule to show cause why
an injunction should not be issued

as entirely legal their refusal to grant
the society permit to establish an or

the organization conducts and operates
the home as q business.

ness contemplated would result in the

would mingle with the boys and girls

almost doubled its invested capital" he
declared.

have free text books. something fol
which the District of Columbia is now
fighting. Last nights meeting was ar
