HEIGHT LIMIT
TO Be REDUCED
Supervisors in Favor Of
Restricting Frame Build
ings to Forty-Five Feet
OBJECT TO A LAUNDRY
Mission Residents Induce
Fire Committee to Make No
Recommendation to Board

The Joint Committee on Fire and Fin
ance yesterday recommended to the
Board of Supervisors the passage of the
amended ordinance reducing the height
limit Of frame buildings from fifty feet
20 forty-fve feet. The reduction is in
the line of better fire protection, espe-
cialIy in the so-callcG lodging house
district on Bush and Pine streets, and
was favored by the Fire Commission
ers, Board nf Fire Wardens and insur-
ance men generally, some Of whom
were present at the meeting to urge
favorable action on the amendment
It was stated that the only protest.
ants against the change are the lum-
Der dealers, and their objection is a
purely commercial. one, as the lessened
height of buildings will reduce the lum-
Der bills materially. None of the lum-
Der dealers. however, appeared to voice
their protests, and the committee ruled
that the objection as stated is not a
valid one.
The method for the measurements Of
the height Of buildings under the or
dinance was referred to the City Arch
itect for revision
The Fire Committee postponed action
for one week on the proposed amended
ordinance TO permit the erection of two
additional stories on semi-fireproof
buildings, which are now limited to 100
feet in height.
The committee referred TO the board
without recommendation the applica-
ton Of the National Laundry Company
for a permit TO conduct a laundry at
All Sanchez street. Residents in the vi
cinity objected to the granting of the
permit in view of the proximity
Of the Mission High School and the
proposed park to be purchased under
the bond issue. The company produced
a petition signed by a number Of prop
erty owners favoring the permit.

special tax for the maintenance Of the
public school department, as is done in
the case OF the parks and library as
related IN these columns yesterday,

II was at first the intention OF the
board 10 have the amendment so word

OF 10 oents-or whatever rate subse-
Quently agreed upon-in the dollar

charter.
President Roncovieri stated yester-
day that after mature consideration he
and his -colleag gues had arrived at the
conclusion that the special levy should

points 10 the fact that the Board OF
supervisors has already discussed the
advisabinty OF submitting a charter

y ~ a special tax Of 10 cents for public
improvements and that il would be

is argued that the usual appropriation
made by the city for schools. now
amounting TO between s3OO.O and
$500 900. could thus be utilized for i'm
