What is the current state of the law in relation to designation of a site for a police station?

The case of Curtis v. City of Boston, 239 Mass. 401, 132 N.E. 181, in this respect parallels the instant one. With approval of the police commissioner, a site for a police station had been chosen and acquired. Thereafter, war conditions had rendered it inadvisable to build. It was held that the commissioner was not bound by the previous designation when he later determined that a greater area was necessary. The reviewing court, 132 N.E. at page 184, said: 'A long time has since elapsed. The present requirement of the police commissioner must be presumed to be founded upon changed conditions rendering imperative larger accommodations.' Although factually different from the instant controversy, the fundamental principle is clearly applicable.
