Head Matter:
In the Matter of Seymour Gratz, Appellant, v. Edward F. Cavanagh, Jr., as Commissioner of the Fire Department of the City of New York, et al., Respondents.

Opinion:
Order, entered on December 27, 1960, dismissing petition in an article 78 proceeding, unanimously affirmed. The time limitations in section B19-7.83 of the Administrative Code are directory and do not constitute a Statute of Limitations rendering action of the Pension Board outside these limitations nugatory. Petitioner failed to allege facts from which a reasonable conclusion could be drawn that the Medical Board acted arbitrarily or capriciously. Concur -—Botein, P.
