permission to erect a filling station in
Laurel was beyond the contemplation
of the law" T. Howard Duckett, attor-
ney for the company, has instituted
mandamus proceedings in Circuit Court
here against the county commissioners
to compel them to issue the permit.
The property involved is at Mont
gcmery avenue and the Baltimore
Boulevard. The realty company filed
an application for the necessary permit
ments hearing was granted on Sep
TENDER IT.
At that time some residents of Laurel
voiced objection to the proposed filling
station, one of their arguments being
that it was directly across from a
church. Following the hearing the
commissioners refused to issue the per-
nit and have ever since refused, &C
cording to the realty ccmpany's petit
ton for mandamus.
Attorney Duckett points out, however,
that there already is a filling station
diagonally across the street from the
lot owned by the realty company.
The petition states that the county
commissioners can sit only in an ad-
ministerial capacity and are without dis
erection in such matters.
Their action therefore is character
lied as arbitrary. beyond the con-
temptation of the law" and deprived the
company of the use of its land without
due process of law.
All of which. the petitions hold, is
in violation of the Federal Constitution,
the Maryland bill of rights and the
constitution of the State of Maryland.
Judge Joseph c. Mattingly will hold
a hearing on the petition on October 30.
