PERCENTAGE NOT SUFFICIENT.
Objections to Designating a Square as
Business Block,

Roland Evans recently wrote the Com
missioners stating that last July he trans
mitted to the District authorities petit
tion signed by a number Of property own
ers on 18th street between Connecticut ave-
nue., NJ and L streets, requesting that the
square in question be designated as busi-
ness block. He alleged that he had received
no reply to his communication Of last sum-
mer. and requested the Commissioners that
he be informed of their action in the
matter.
In a recent report on the subject Mr..
Snowden Ashford, building inspector, states
that upon examination Of the property on
both sides of 18th street between L and M
streets he found that % per cent Of the
frontage on the east side of the street and
% per cent on the west side is used for
business purposes. Capt. Chester Harding.
in forwarding the papers to Commissioner
Biddle, calls attention to Mr.. Ashfords 8 re-
port, from which, he states, It appears
that the percentage of the frontage occu-
pied for business purposes is not sufficient
to declare the portion Of 18th street men
toned to be a business street.
Capt Harding says further that no record
is found in the Office of the chief clerk of
previous letter from Mr.. Evans. but that
letter on the subject was written to the
Commissioners by Mr.. A. D. Addison, which
was answered in accordance with the report
of the building inspector.
