The much mooted question as to whether a synagogue is a school in the legal acceptance of the term and regardless of the dictionary was brought into recent argument by a protest from the Brownsville ber of Commerce and the Taxpayers, against the construction of a gasoline station at the southeast corner of Christopher st. and Pitkin ave, within a distance of 200 feet of the entrance to Rabbi Abrahamson's synagogue, has been settled, at least for the nonce, by Supreme Court Justice James A. Dunne, Judge Dunne, if not in 80 many words, at any rate by implication, decides the query in the negative. He has just directed Building Superintendent Flanagan to forthwith reissue the building permit heretofore issued and subsequently revoked, for the establishment of the gasoline station referred to.

It was revoked when it was found' seemingly to be in violation of the zone resolution, giving protection to duly organized schools for children under 16 years of age, giving instruction least five days a week for eight months or more each year, owned and operated by any established religious body or educational corporation. Rabbi Abrahamson's synagogue was erected in 1905, under a permit which clearly specified the occupancy as that of a synagogue. The plans showed no layout for any other character of occupancy. The neighborhood, under the zoning law, is unrestricted and offers no legal objection to almost any kind of occupancy. Nearness to a synagogue is no objection against a gasoline station and therefore the E.

J. W. Realty application for the gasoline station's construction, in dispute, was granted. Later on, however, affidavits and protests filed with the Building Bureau set forth that on each afternoon, except during the summer months, classes for from 10 to 15 boys, under instruction in the Hebrew faith, are held in the synagogue, and freedom from the projected gasoline station, therefore, under the law, was claimed. The gasoline station owning corporation applied for peremptory mandamus order to revive and restore the revoked permit.

Assistant Corporation Counsel James O'Reilly, on behalf of the Building Bureau, appeared in opposition to the application. The court decided In favor of the applicant and the permit revived today. The municipality will not appeal from Justice Dunn's decision, but an interpleader entered on behalf of Rabbi Abrahamson and some of his congregation will probably take the case to a higher court. In the meantime the gasoline station get under way and if Judge Dunn is finally overruled, It will "have to so out of business: MAJORS CEMENT "Sticks To Its Job" For repairing China, Glassware, Furniture, Moor.
