It has been found that the repairs incidental to re-opening are minor and that no building permit is re- quired. This fact practically removes the case from the jurisdiction of the building inspector and if action is to be taken to restrain Andrews, it appears that the board of adjuse- ment must be appealed to by the objectors. The store, one of the smallest In the city, has been uncer tease fo Kolodney DBrothers since before adoption of the zoning act, at which time it was placed in a residence district. It has not been opened in several years, but has been usea for storage purposes. Corporation Counsel John H. Kirkham has advised the building inspector that there are several questions of fact to be considered before it can be determinea whether such use was continued operation v the store. If it is found that the store has not been concucted for more than one year, jt will be im- possible to reopen it under the terms of the zoning act, it is said. pants of Plane Over Jersey Talk With London By Telephon Hadley Field, N.

The conversations WePe held at a demonstration by the American Tel- ephone and Telegraph company which was an extension of recent ex- preriments in which reporters aloft in this same plane telephoned to their offices in New York and New Jersey. The equipment ih the plane con- sisted of a compact short wave re- ceiver and transmitter perfected at the Bell laboratories and manufa tured by Western Electric, subsidi- aries of the A. T. & T. Voice be- tween the plane and the ground was linked by this radio to the com- pany’s experimental radio station at Whippany, N. J., and there trans- ferred to the regular telephone sys- tem.
