Changing the Fire Limits.
Perhaps the most important amendment
to the regulations will be the changing of
the fire limits. 1t will be recalled that the
order OF November %. 1892, re-establishing
the hre limits. was strenuously opposed by
certain property owners. The new regula-
ton Will change this order by emitting from
the fre limits all OF the following portions
OF the fire limits north Of the following
line: Beginning at q point where Ontari
avenue intersects the eastern line of the
Zooiogical Park, thence southwardly along
the eastern line OF said park to Adams Mill
road. thence along Adams Mil road to Co
lumbia road, thence along Columbia road to
18th street west extended, thence north
waroiy along 18th street extended to Park
street. thence eastwardly along Park street
to 18th street west extended and Mount
Pleasant avenue. thence eastwardly along
Mount Pleasant avenue to Whitney avenue
and eastwardly along Whitney avenue To
7th street west extended.
Another important amendment is the one
relating to markets. 1t reads: No building
to be used as market shall be erected un.
less the person or persons applying for a
permit to erect shall first file with the In
spector Of buildings the written consent OF
q majority OF the property owners In the
square on which said building is to be To-
Gated, and the property owners in the
square or squares fronting the east side of
the proposed structure.
Another amendment will be inserted in
the new regulations further amending the FIRE
limits as follows: Revoke that portion pre-
scribins as part of said limits ''due east on
line OF T street to Patterson avenue, Pat
terson avenue to Fairview avenue Fair
view avenue to Corcorsn street." and SUBJ
stituts therefor: Due east on the line of T
street north to ID street east. thence south
on said I'd street to r street north extended,
thence east along said r street and recti-
linear projection thereof to Corcoran road"
Another amendment bearing on the fire
limits revokes that portion Of the fire limits
ito Bladensburs road, Bladensburg road to
18th street east and Florida avenue" and
substituting therefor: ITO the main tracks
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. thence
southwardly along said tracks to o street
north extended, thence eastwardly along
said o street to Trinidad avenue and thence
northwardly along said Trinidad avenue to
MI. Olivet road. thence eastwardly along said
Mt. Olivet road to Bladensburg road, thence
along Bladensburg road to the intersection
Of 18th street east extended and Florida
avenue northeast"
