Assistant Corporation Counsel Farley ented that the Court at thie time had Jurisdiction, but if it had it must dis- mies the temporary injunction writs. Number’ ; decisions, he said upheld the city's eight to control ite own strests. Hotels, he sald, had no eight to usurp the olty’s etreets, nor have hotel guests the right to expect better service on the streets than the general public. Mr. Farley reaé from « decision of Judge Dillon: “Generally speaking, public sidewalke and streets are for use by all, upon equal terms, for any Purpose consistent with the object for which euch sidewalks and streets are established. © © © By virtue of its power .to regulate the use of streets and eldewalys and to regulate hack- men, &o., thé City Council may provide for public hackstands in the city streets, and may prescribe the length of time that heekmen may stand thereat.” ‘The right of the eity to have public backstands, Mr, Farley deciared, had never been questioned before in court. The hotels, he sald, were opposed to the abolition of private hackstands only be- cause they are paid Jerge sume annu- ally for euch private hack-stand per- mits—4n one case $90,000 a year for euch ® permit. Mr. Farley, declaring that the new rates are not confiscating, had a num- ber of affidavits from independent Grivera, who swore they operated at a good profit under the new rate instead of at the great lose predicted by the street in New York City.

But thirty boys, organised by Policeman Miller of the Madieon street station, are now Patrolling the atreet and seeing to it that Bast Broadway is kept clean. Peddlers jaughed at the boys with the ai badges at first. Every laugh was followed by the temporary disappes after which he telephoned to Coroner Gibson at Huntington.
