political headsman.

Il merely moved in the matter because
Powderly is an honest man, and the Presi-

ANTI -SKYSGRAPBR
Bill IS INTRODUCED
Offered in the Senate Today
BY Mr.. Mcmillan.

Senator Mcmillan today introduced his
long-eNpected measure TO regulate he
height Of buildings in the District. It
is in the form Of a joint resolution. and
provides. in brief, that no building shall
be erected OF a height greater than the
width Of the street on which il is located,
measured from curb TO curb.
The wording Of the resolution IS as fol-
lows:
That hereafter on residence streets no
buildings shall be erected in the District
width Of the adjoining street, measured
between curb lines"
The significant points OF the measure
are that il is restricted 10 buildings on
residence streets. and that the width u
the streets is TO be measured between the
curbs instead OF between the building
lines.
The present regulations with regard 10
the height Of buildings have been inter-
preted to refer TO the width between
building lines. The wide sidewalks and
parking on 5oth sides Of nearly all streets
have thus added materially TO the per-
missible height Of new buildings
Many Of the apartment buildings re-
Gently erected have taken advantage OF
this Interpretation and are much higher
than would be allowed by the proposed
new law
The restriction Of the proposed law 20
residence streets is in accordance with
the plans OF the Senate District Commit
tee. which has not contemplated. for the
Dreeent at least. any restriction on the
building Of business structures
