Appeal from Supreme Court.
Certiorari by Saline Freeman against Frank Hague and others, Board of Commissioners of the City of Jersey City and another, to review an order of the Board revoking permit for erection of garage. The order was affirmed by the Supreme Court (144 A. 328, 7 N. J. Misc. R. 41), and plaintiff appeals. Reversed and rendered.
