AGAINST HIGH BUILDINGS
Hearing Given Today on a Proposed Flat
House.

Inc commissioners heard arguments this
| morning against the building of a six-storv
apartment house at 1401 Binney street for
Mr.. Albert Carry.
Already permit for this building has
been issued and preliminary work has al
ready begun
representing the Columbia Heights Citi
zens Association, President NJ A Rail
hnger appeared in opposition to the buiId
ing. He contended that the issuance of
the permit was in direct opposition to the
regulations governing the matter Binney

contrary to law to erect building 'front.'
ing on that street greater in height Than
tne width of the street. 1t had been urged
tnat the hoCse fronted on 14th street. vet
the permit located the building at 14O1
Binney street. The objection was to n
building such as contemplated by the per
mit-IS naI 1eet nigh: He referred to the con-
sioeratlons which led up to the drafting
OF the regulation, and said it was primarily

nelghbors the free enjoyment Of light and
Mr.. William B. Turpin. representing Mr.
Albert Carry, replied to Mr. Ballinger. He
said a great deal of care had been used in
planning this building and frequent inter
views nad peen had with the building In
spector In order that no law or regula-
tlcn be violated. 1t seemed that the Co
lumbia Heights Citizens Association were
oDstructlonists to public improvements and
II Its contention prevailed 1t would deprive
the workingmen of Washington of $780,
900 In wages. If the present permit was
not to be upheld the Commissioners could
amend the regulation by allowing such
structures on corner lots. regulating their
heights by the width of the wider street.
The hearing was considered closed when
President Milford Spohn of the Central
Labor Union addressed the Commissioners
He said he appeared in the interest of the
building trades of the city. He concluded
that it must be a peculiar class of citizens
on Columbia Heights who, after three
years Of unprecedented business depres-
sicn in the country, undertook to place
any obstruction in the way of helping the
laboring class.
The workingmen of Washington had
walked the streets for three years, and
the labor organizations had paid out over
million dollars to keep them from be-
coming tax upon the District. He did
not respect the narrow property holders
who, holding land for speculative purpose,
undertook to dictate how and when enter
prising property holders should build, and
additional value to their holdings. The as
sociation styling itself the Columbia
Heights Citizens Association was an OBJ
struction, and he repeated 1t without fear
of contradiction, its members had no interest
save the self-interest of themselves and he
hoped they would become predetermined
citizens, having the welfare of the citizens
at heart. Mr.. Ballinger replied at length
claiming that the section he represented
had done more during the hard times for
the workingmen than all other sections of
the city put together.
The Commissioners took the subject un-

T H e TARIFF BILL

Apparently matters are shaping around to
shorten the time that will be consumed in
the consideration of the tariff bill in the
Senate. There will probably be more time
taken up in the committee and less in the
Senate than has generally been calculated
on. The republican members Of the Senate
are gradually corning to an understanding
that they have to get together as well as
possible before the bill is finally reported
to the Senate. Those who are best able to

bags are open at both ends. and, being
slightly longer than the loaf, the ends
are turned together with a twist as the
