May Ernest E. Novey reserved de- cision following a hearing held at City hall yesterday morning on the application of Felecio D. Benedetto for permission to install a four pump gasoline station on South Main street and Tracy avenue. The proposal re- ceived much opposition.
 Benedetto was represented by At torney John J. Casale at the hear ing, and Attorney Thomas J. Wall ap peared for those who opposed the application.
 gram from Felix Buzzi, who resides in the neighborhood and who is now in Miami, Fla, in which MT Buzzi stated that he was opposed to hav- ing the gasoline station at that in- tersection. A petition signed by about a dozen people in that section was also presented.
 The residents thought that another gas station in that locality would be menace to pedestrians, especially children, when people drove over the sidewalk to and from the pumps. It was also stated that the ground WdHleO lo Ut uSeu LOT IHo SdSOllHe station was to small for four pump station and South Main street is narrow at that point and is intersect- ed by two other streets. The people said that there was enough confusion htere already without another sta- tion there and they also believed that it would decrease the value of the property.
 Attorney Wall declared that there were enough stations in that vicinity to supply the whole city. It was also offered that the property would be purchased to prevent a gasoline sta- tion.
 Attorney CasaIe said that, several weeks ago he drew up an agreement between Benedetti and Philip Silver l man, whereby the latter agred to i rect modern gasoline station on the premises, providing that Benedetto | was granted permission by Mayor l Novey.
 After. hearing the plaintiffs and | the defendants it was decided that the mayor himself should investigate the property and see what he thought would be best to do. l When Mayor Novey closed the hearing and announced that his de- | cision would be announced later. l uuCIdl oCESlCC EOr IvAIS l Chaberek The funeral of Mrs Victoria Cha | berek, 49, was held from the family I home at 140 Chestnut avenue yes l terday morning at 8 o'clock with | prayers by the Rev John P.
