New York city — Zoning Law — determination of hoard of appeals refusing, in the exercise of discretion, permit to build garage, sustained.People ex rel. Werner v. Walsh, 212 App. Div. 635 , affirmed.
Appeal from an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the first judicial department, entered May 1, 1925, which reversed an order of Special Term sustaining a writ of certiorari and annulling a determination of the board of appeals of the city of New York refusing the relator a permit to build a garage on the easterly side of Jerome avenue between One Hundred and Eighty-third and One Hundred and Eighty-fourth streets in the borough of The Bronx. It was contended that the decision of the board of appeals denying a permit to the relator after granting permits to other property owners to erect garages in the same vicinity was a clear abuse of discretion.
