District Government Affairs.

The question as to party walls among builders
and persons who erect. hOuSeS came I'D on Satur-
day last before the building inspector and his
letter 10 one OF the parties Interested will best
plain the Inspectors views OF the law. He writes
to Mr.. W. S. Chase as follows: GAS requested
by you have examined the position OF the walls
OF the houses, now being erected by WI Particle
18th and streets northwest and find that he is
right In placing his wall half upon your lot as the
law is applicable in such cases where the lot is
vacant and is In position TO be used by you for
building fronting the street. But the right
to place the rear walls OF the houses fronting 18Th
street, half upon your lot, think is doubtful as
am OF the opinion that the right extends only to
where both parties could use such party wall and
as It is not likely that you ever will it, except
perhaps In part for stable on tie rear of your
locating the wall over the line OF survey had 1
been called on to locate the walls as provided In
the building regulations"
