Abstract: It is shown that if for a complete metric space $(X,d)$ there is a constant $epsilon>0$ such that the intersection $$ of open balls is nonempty for every finite system $x_1,\mathrm{...},x_{n}inX$ of centers and a corresponding system of radii $r_1,\mathrm{...},r_n>0$ such that $d(x_j,x_k)leqslepsilon$ and $d(x_j,x_k)<r_j+r_k$ ($j,k=1,\mathrm{...},n$), then $X$ is an ANR; and if in the above one may put $epsilon=infty$, the space $X$ is an AR. A certain criterion for an incomplete metric space to be an A(N)R is presented.
