HoIfzclaw With Ruling.
w. B. Holtzclaw recently wrote to the
Commissioners seeking information con-
corning the construction to be placed on
the act of Congress for the regulation of
the height of buildings in the District He
desired to know whether the act served to
repeal section II OF the building regula-
tions with reference TO determining the
thickness of walls. He informed the COM
missioners that the matter was one of
great importance to builders. On recon-
mendation of Engineer Commissioner
Reach, Mr.. Holtzclaw will be informed
that the section of the building regulations
to which reference is made Is construed by
the Commissioners to refer to the height
of walls above the ground for the purpose
of determining their thickness, while sec
tion 6 of the act of March /, 1893, regu-
lates the height OF buildings with refer
ence to light. ventilation, and adjoining
properties. The Commissioners agree that
the two are not in conflict.
