The "Ground-Huggers" "

Washington has solved the sky-scraper
problem fairly well with a regulation which
restricts the height of buildings according
to the width of the adjacent streets. In
practice this rule has produced generally
satisfactory results. although it may on a
few occasions have temporarily discouraged
the expenditure of capital on permanent
improvements. Land owners and the pro-
jectors of large buildings have come TO
recognize the fact that at least here in the
capital some thought must be given to the
appearance of the street as well as to the
pecuniary return from the land, and with
a good will which Is highly commendabIe
they have accepted the conditions and pro-
ceeded with their building enterprises with
in the law.
That principle established, attention
should next be given to the other end OF
the case, the regulation of the ground
huggers," as the one-story shops which mar
so many of the city blocks might properly
be termed. These squat buildings are osten-
sibly temporary in character. thrown has
tily together to meet a business demand
and yielding a revenue more than sufficient
to pay taxes and interest on loans. But in
too many cases they are really of a per-
manent character. and their ornate fronts
are rather an objection than an attraction.
For in the degree that money Is expended
upon them they are likely to remain for
years in use, disfiguring the streets and
restricting the growth of the city.
The building regulations now put max
inium height upon structures and also
minimum width. There would seem to be
no reason in the law why. on parallel lines
of reasoning. the city should not prohibit
the erection of business buildings within a
certain city area, of less than a prescribed
height. thus establishing limitations for
all the dimensions of city structures save
that of depth II the law can properly de-
clare that a property owner cannot ex-

quired to construct building fourteen feet
in width. according to the general terms Of
the building laws. Tha. rula was adopted
not alone out of consideration for the
health of the occupants of narrower houses
than this limit. but also in difference to
the demand for street beauty and regular
ity.
The municipality of Paris enfcrces
minimum-heght rule, and in consequence
its streets present a graceful, even sky
line, which adds to the beauty of the capt.
tai. Here. however, even with the sky
scrapers kept within bounds and proper
toned to the width of the adjacent streets,
there are frequent instances of irregular
ity which are worse in their effect than
though the ground new covered by the
squat buildings were entirely vacant. If
the law were to prohibit the construction
of any building of less than two stories,
