Magistrate Orders Lewises to Dinner and Show at Public Expense
In New York, Magistrate Curran jokingly told Mr and Mrs James C Lewis to enjoy a lavish evening funded by the city over noise from a steam derrick near their home. He urged a top dinner with Clos Vougeot wine and Finnish caviar, a Broadway show, a late snack, and a night at a fine hotel, with the bill to be paid by the city. The Lewises said they might dine at the Colony Club and stay at the Waldorf, though the show part may be skipped for sleep. The matter was adjourned to tomorrow as the derrick continued work on Beekman Hill.
