Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Application of Francis F. Carpenter, Respondent, for an Order of Mandamus against Thomas D. Kreuter and Others, Constituting the Board of Appeals on Zoning of the City of New Rochelle, Appellants.

Opinion:
Order directing the appellants to rescind a resolution purporting to revoke a permit previously granted by them for the conversion of a commercial garage for use as a public garage in the city of New Rochelle, unanimously affirmed, with fifty dollars costs and disbursements. The appellants were without power to modify or revoke the permit theretofore granted. If a violation of the zoning ordinance exists on the respondent's premises, the statutes specify the method of bringing about an abatement thereof and indicate the official empowered to act.
