GAS STATION FIGHT CARRIED T0 COURT New Chapler Writien in Franklin Square Permit Row —_— Based on the complaint that the zoning ordinance is “arbitrary, di criminatéry, lllegal and unconstitu- tional,” the Standard Oil Co. carried to the superior court fight for the right to conduct a gasoline filling station at the corner of Franklin square and Pearl street, and will seek to have an order made for issuance of the necessary per- mits. The entire matter will be review- ed in superior court, next morning at 9 o'clock. The city of New Britain and Building Inspector Arthur N. Rutherford have been summoned to the hearing by a writ signed yesterday by State's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn. 3 The filling station matter has been handled by Attorney Leo V. Gaffn-y through its several hearings before the board of adjustment. Mr. Al- corn appears in the case only with respect to the signing of the writ of mandamus, which the law pro- vides must be signed by a state's attorney, After setting forth that the com- plainant purchased the plot of land for the specific purpose of conduc ing a filling station, the writ goes on to say: Discrimination Claimed The property is located at the eorner of Franklin square and Pearl street, adjoining, on the east anl north, property of the American Hardwaré corporation, a large in- dustrial corporation, having a capi- talization of $12,400,000, and em- ploying several thousand hands; it is located more than 100 feet from the Emmanuel Gospel church, the nearest house of worship; that the maximum restrictions under the zoning law obtain in residence A zone and the minimum in the in- dustrial zone; the property in ques- tion is in an industrial zone; thc zone law permits gasoline filling st tions within 100 feet of churches in two business zones, but requires 200 feet distance in industrial zones; that this regulation is contrary to the spirit of zoning and affects no property but that of the Standarl Oil Co.; that the claimed discrimi- nation is contrary to the 14th amendment to the constitution and an unrcasonable cxercise of the po- lice powers; that the board of ad- dustment has sanctioned a chan which would permit use of the pro- perty for gasoline filling stations, but that the common council tabled the matter for some time and subse- quently rejected the recommenda- tion; that the complainant has the necessary permits from the state and its plans for a building con- form with all city ordinances ex- cepting the one which refers to the distance from a church structure. No Manch Cart on Corner Anthony Zazzero of Hartford, holds a permit to move a second- hand lunch cart onto the lot and exp to set up in business in the early part of next week. His lease does not permit him to use the corner portion of the lot, that tion having been reserved by th. company in anticipation of or- able action by the superior court on the new petition. If the oil company is successful | in securing a superior court order which requires Inspector Rutherfor to issue the permit, the plot will be | the site of a lunch cart and a fill- ing station. both of which were ob- iected to by representatives of sev- vral thousands of church-goers and property owner MOTHERS' ‘B BRIDGE The Mothers' Club of ,the Robert J.

Mr. Doyle agreed to answer the questions, but before doing 30 made a lengthy explanation to the convention of his understanding of Mr. Levy's attitude. He said Mr. Levy had written him a long list of questicns concerning the Jewelry in- stitute, which had been answered fully in a monthly magazine pub- tished by Mr. Doyle for the jewelry trade. The replies, he said. were | not satisfuctory to Mr. d asked vou read my answer, Norman A Levy replied that he read “what there was of it.” “Well,” replied Mr. Doyle, “that’s all there was to say. Centroversy Over Support In framing his question, Mr. Levy There is a lot of opposition to vour plan.’ ' Mr. Doyle objected to this statement, saying: “It has the approval of 5,000 retail jewelers, 36 wholesale jewelers and most good manufacturers. It was the work of three years, submitted to the Best legal brains of Philadelphia, ap- proved by the department of justice and by Scnator George Wharton Pepper of Philadelphia, a man who cught to be president of the United States. It was developed at a cost to me of more than $200,000." “Well,” at least there is some op- position,” Mr, Levy waid. “Yes,” admitted Mr. Doyle, “ther is some opposition. No go ahead and ask your question.” s Cathechism Mr. Levy—'Do you expect in your plan to ecliminate the wholesale-re- tailer?” Mr. Doyle—"I never heard of such a thing.” / Mr. Levy—"Didn’t you sa Reading convention in 19 Mr. Doyle—"I couldn’t remember anything I said in 1925.

Mr. Doyle again objected to read- ing “anything that is copicd. What did you .want this catechism for an: how, Mr. Levy? Who are you repre senting ?

I don’t want to talk to you per- |sonally. We were given to under- |stand your plan was entirely un- selfiish.” “You'll have to come to me with clean hands, Norman, before you can talk to me.” was Mr. Doyle's final statement. Mr. Dyson referred to the incident in & general way by stating that he telt sure the convention could put its confidence in Mr, Doyle and that he had no doubt that Connecticut Jjewelers feel sure that Mr. Doyle is | working for the good of the indus- |try in zeneral, Asked afterwards if he cared make any statement explaining incident.
