a lurking humor at the corners, to which
the outstanding mustache seemed to add
point. For all his popularity of aspect he
was a man who left an impression on the
memory of something pleasing and attrac-
tive, especially in the minds of women.
He received Hollywood with that air of
deep personal interest which told with such
happy effect on those whom he desired to
influence.

Selpdorf listened with a little astonish-
ment. This Englishman was not quite such
fool as one might have expected from the
fact of his having been content to remain
without perferment and only a proportion
of his pay for over five years on the from
tier. He had hoped to find the fellow
adaptable, but this long-llmbed, slow
spoken gentleman was not altogether so
had led himself to expect.
But why have you secluded yourself for
so long among those barbarous marshes
and' forests?" demanded the chancellor in
a railying manner. The young man made
no reply, though the obvious one was in
his mind.

of the reply was admirable, but battling

AMEND THE REGULATIONS
CLAUSE Relating to Buildings Modified By
the Commissioners
Suggestion Made by Architect Schnef.
der IndOrsed-Reservati of
Areas for Circulation of Air.

The attention of the District Commission
ers was recently invited by Mr.. r. f.
Schneider. local architect to the clause
in the building regulations relating to the
reservation of certain areas of lots for the
circulation of air. This clause, in the opin-
ion of Mr.. Schneider. is hardship on the
owners of lots adjoining wide public alleys.
Under this clause wrote Mr.. Schneider,
the owner of such lot has no advantage
of the alley, as to this point, over the owner
of an inside lot he is required to reserve
the same area of ground as the other man.
should he desire to build upon the whole
lot. If $50 square feet are sufficient for the
purpose in the case of an inside lot, it
would seem apparent that a public alley
ten or fifteen feet wide along the whole side
of q lot would more than serve the same
purpose, and that the requirement of a
reservation of part of such lot is an I'M
necessary hardship. AS, if a strip two and
one-half feet wide is enough in the one
case, strip ten to fifteen feet is certainly
enough in the alley case. | therefore re-
quest consideration of the regulation, with
view to its modification TO the extent that
a lot having public alley along its side
may be built upon its fun width and depth
whether it has rear alley or not
The Suggestion Approved.
The Commissioners referred the matter
to the office of the inspector of buildings.
and Mr.. Snowden Ashford. the assistant
inspector of buildings. submitted a report
in which he stated he agrees with Mr..
Schneider. He therefore recommended that
the words 'Or where the side abuts for the
full depth of the lot upon public alley
be inserted after the word space in the
sixth line of section 33 of the regulations.
so that the section will read as follows:
ITO secure proper light and ventilation, no
dwelling, hotel nor apartment house shat!
be erected within ten feet of the rear of
the lot on which it stands. except when the
rear abuts on a public alley at least ten
feet in width, a street or other public
space or where the side abuts for the full
depth of the lot upon a public alley, or
when there is reserved a side lot extending
the full depth of the building and at least
$50 square feet in area. Angular corner
lots, abuttng lots that extend from street
to street. may be excepted from the above
restrictions. Buildings may cover the en-
tire area of lot for such of the stories,
beginning with the lower, as are used for
business purposes only.
Mr.. Ashford's suggested amendment OF
the regulation fas been approved by the
Commissioners.
