WHAT ARCHITECTS WANT.
Asking That the Building Regulations
be Modified.

For some time past the architects and build
ers of Washington have been sorely troubled
on account Of the clause in the building regula-
tions which prohibits them from constructing
solid stone parapet walls above the platforms
at entrances. Since the new regulations were
adopted, in which clause appears empowering
the inspector of buildings to approve all out
side projections, with a view to prevent these
solid walls, the architects and builders are
striving to have this clause modified. Today a
committee composed of +. F. Schneider, C. A.
Didden and Robert Stead, representing the
chapter Of architects of the city of Washington,
called upon the Commissioners and asked that
the regulations be modified and defined. They
requested permission to insert in the regula-
tions clause allowing projection from the
building line of five feet by platforms and
parapet walls not over seven feet above grade.
The trouble heretofore has been that the walls
when erected obstructed the view of the adjoin-
ing property owners. The Commissioners will
look into the matter,

To Advertisers.

Owing to pressure of news and the increasing

Its advertising patrons are therefore requested
to send in all changes of matter before II o'clock

Copy received earliest will have preference, al
ways, and that coming in after the hours named
