BUILDING PERMIT REFUSED
Commissioners Reject Application for Author
ity to Construct Apartment House.
for the District Decides
Against Height of Proposed Struc-
ture-Width of Street.

The attorney for the District yesterday
rendered an adverse opinion in the matter
Of the application for permit to erect an
apartment house at the northwest corner
OF 18th and l streets to height of 10 feet.
The opinion was approved by the District
Commissioners, and the inspector of build
irgs was thererpon directed by them to
reject the application, and so notify Mr..
Walter V. X. Berry, the president of the
com. my which proposed to erect the build
irg.
1t will be recalled that the residents IN
the reighbornood, both on 18th and I
streets, filed a protest with the Commits
soners against the issuance of a permit,
basing their protest n the ground that,
nth street being a resident street, the
building regulations prohibited the erection
o. a structure o"er ninety feet in height.
II support Of his application, Mr.. Berry,
at hearing granted to the interested par
ties Wednesday, contended that 18th street
is rot resident street; that the Commits
sioners should. in deciding the matter, take
into consideration the fact that the house
would face an open space, Farragut Square
of several hundred feet in width, and that
ii an imaginary building line were drawn
down Farragut Square on the west the
street would be 10 feet in width from
building line to building lire.
The Commissioners referred the matter to
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1898-06-10

their legal adviser. who, in his opinion,
stated that one of the questions to be con-
sidered was whether the width of Farra-
gut Square could be taken into account in
determining the height of the proposed
building. Eas
Former Opinion.
In this connection this District law off,
Ger called attention to the following opln-
ion of Commissioner Ross, entered on the
minutes of the boacd of Commissioners
April l, 1898, in which Col. Black, the En-
greer Commissioner, corcurred:
Section of the building regulations in
regard to the height of buildings provides
Tor an exception where a height exceeding
$50 feet may be allowed on avenues 100 feet
wide. In view of the fact that the space in
front of this proposed structure is over 800
feet wide, there is no question in my mind
that the spirit of the regulation and in
decd, its letter, allows the erection of said
building on the corner of 18th and l streets
northwest of the height proposed in this
applica ton
th'' regulation in regard to the height of
buildings. the attorney holds, is that it
takes into consideration, in connection with
the width OF 18th street, the public reserva-
uon Known as Farragut Square. and leaves
out of view the fact that both 18th and
streets are residential streets, and not bust
ness streets, as defined by1the regulation.
Public Reservation.
'Farragut Square" the Districts law Of
iicer explains, lis a public park or reserva-
ton, and is not part -oE17th street While
it would be entirely within the authority of
the Commissioners to provide by specific
regulation for taking into account in the
matter of the height of buildings, the pres
enee of public square or reservation on
posite the site of the proposed building the
existing regulation does nor do so hut in
terms deals only with Areets and avenues.
MY opinion is that the inspector of build
ihgs Is without jurisdiction Co issue a per
mt Tor the proposed budding of a greater
height than that prescribed in the regula-
ton "
