18th street, and, moreover, at its western
| end makes a connection with Park road,
| and there is therefore more likelihood that
it will be used as through street than
| in the case of Newton street
| The Commissioner then speaks OF the
question of the law as referred to by Mr.
| Waring, and states: This point was
brought UP by the writer and not by the
Commissioners, who have simply acted in
| this matter In what they considered to be
| both to the best interests of the District
| and the residents, and, they believe, within
| the law.
No building restriction line has been es-
tahlished on this street" the Commissioner
states, land there are two houses built out
to the present building line. The expert
| ence on Park road has shown that even
within few years the setting OF houses
back, which was formerly done on that
| street, has in a great part been abandoned
and houses are now built out at or near
the building line.
with the extension of the 18th street
car line it seems almost certain that unless
! building restriction lines established
the same thing Will happen on this street,
! and there can be absolutely no question but
what If that is the case the additional
width is essential The communication
| from residents of that street sent to the
Commissioners in 1893 was not filed as
stated by the writer but, on the contrary
one of the residents, Mr.. +. l.. Campbell,
| was notified on October !, 1903, that If the
| residents would take steps to establish
| building restriction lines so as to give a
| permanent greater width to that street,
| the Commissioners would take into con-
| sideration the widening of the roadway
| NO action was apparently taken by the
| residents on this street and no action has
| been taken since, even after law has been
| passed by Congress directing a method OF
establishing building lines. The fact that
| the writer states that on the north side OF
| the street a restriction line of thirty feet
| has been adopted by common consent, and
| on the south side line of fifteen feet has
| been established, shows the irregularity in
the method OF building.
Alleged Erroneous Statement.
THE writer is in error when he states ALI
| other buildings are set back excepting one
! on the corner of 10th street there being one
other building on the building line. AS the
! result of the actions of the residents to-
| ward the establishment OF building lines,
