STANDARDS BOARD DENIES PERMIT TO GARAGE BUILDERS Sunset Civics Win Fight to Ban Gas Station From 41st St. Site After several weeks of bitter controversy the Sunset Civic Association has scored a victory for its members with the announcement of the Board of Standards and Appeals that permission for the erection of a garage and gas station at 41st St. and New Utrecht Ave. will be denied.

Herman Waxman, vice-president of the association, and other officers hailed the announcement as the final blow to sponsors of the proposed gas station which would have been located in a residential zone. The decision of the board is the result of a hearing held some time ago when Waxman led a delegation of members in opposing the proposed gas station on the grounds that it would be in violation of the zoning laws and the interests of the majority of surrounding home owners. Sponsors of the project had first broached the suggestion more than a year ago when they attempted to get permission to build the station. At that time the Sunset Association opposed it and the matter was allowed to drop. The last move by the gas station supporters, which brought about the present situation, was carried on for several months and the situation gathered all its forces to settle the question once and for all.

In handing down their decision, the members of the Board of Standards were emphatic in declaring they would entertain no further applications for the gas station on the grounds that the surrounding neighborhood suffer by a decline in realty values. many local residents, joined last St. George.
