Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the Fifth Avenue Coach Company's action seeking an injunction against the City of New York. The Court held that the city ordinance prohibiting exterior advertising on stages is a valid exercise of the board of aldermen's police power and that the franchise granted to the coach company does not include the right to display advertisements.
