The lawyer accused the Commissioners of acting arbi- trarily in revoking the permit with- out according a hearing and thres months before Monk had pleaded guilty in Police Court to a charge of operating an automobile while in- toxicated District Corporation Counsel o the sioners to revoke the license under a general power to make regulations in the interest of public safety. He claimed that It was not necessary for them to await disposition of the case in Pollice Court and so permit a menuce to exist for weeks while a jury trial was being reached in that crowded tribunal. He asserted that the permlt was accepted by Monk with the reservation printed on It that it could be revoked by the Com- missioners. Hitz inquired Justice Commissioners would what the ve done if Monk had been acquitted of the charge. Mr. Hart sald he would have advised a reissuance of the permit. Here Mr. Peyser declured that he had been told by Commissioner Oys- ter that mo more revocations would be reopened. The lawyer sald Mr. Oyster had stated that Col. Keller was opposed to such procedure. and Mr. Peyser then called the Enginecr Commissioner “czar” and remarked concerning the. acquiescence of the other members of the commlssion to Col.
