Officials Puzzled Over Building Limit on Street. Near

toned is rated at eighty-four feet and
eight inches in width, which would be the
limit of the height of the proposed build
ing there. However. Mr.. Ashford adds
that in his opinion the merging OF this
street with Pennsylvania Avenue i'm
mediately in front of this site would en-
title the builder TO the Pennsylvania
Avenue allowance of 1870 feet.
Capt. Chester Harding. assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner. said that it was
doubtful whether such request could
be granted, in view of section of the
act of Congress referring to the height
of buildings. Engineer Commissioner
Biddle has suggested to his associates
that the matter be referred to the Cor
poration Counsel. Public policy would
seem to dictate that the height allowed
on Pennsylvania Avenue should control,
as the buildings on the other site, oppo-
site the proposed structure, would be
allowed that height.

the height of building that may be al

near the National Theater. If the
building is held to front on E Street 1t
can be only about ninety feet high, while
if it is held that ii fronts on Pennsyl-
vania Avenue 100 feet is the limit.
The matter was brought to the atten-
