WOODEN STANDS AT YALE GAME

The controversy over the erection of wooden stands for the Yale game came to a successful conclusion yesterday afternoon when the Board of Appeal over-ruled the decision of Building Commissioner O'Hearn and granted the request of the Athletic Association. Following is a statement from the Graduate Treasurer, Fred W. Moore '93:

"Application for a permit to build wooden observation stands for the Harvard-Yale football game at Soldiers Field was made yesterday afternoon. The Graduate Treasurer had a very pleasant conference with Building Commissioner O'Hearn. The Commissioner stated that he could not agree with the interpretation of the law made by Corporation Counsel, giving him authority to issue a permit for the stands, but that he would be glad to waive the time which the law gives him for consideration of the application, and, by refusing the permit at once, have it go immediately before the Board of Appeal. The Commissioner thereupon formally refused the permit, and the Graduate Treasurer immediately appealed from his decision. A hearing was had before the Board at 4.30 o'clock, and the Board immediately overruled the Commissioner and granted the appeal. A permit will therefore be issued in due course."
