Broadbelt v. Loew

Van Brunt, P. J. (dissenting):

I dissent. The power to regulate areas gives no power to devote the same to other purposes than those of an area, such as filling up, in whole or in part, by permanent building. Such a rule would enable the common council to authorize the extension of all buildings into the street.

Judgment reversed and judgment for specific performance directed, with costs to plaintiff in this court and in the court below.
