trict of Columbia will be asked to decide
whether not the Commissioners have the

on parks and parking, Brookland Citizens
Association, for the enforcement of certain
building restrictions in that suburb. Mr..
Mclean inclosed in his letter a copy
of the original certificate of the trus-
tees of the subdivision of Brookland,
in which it is stated that every lot in the
suburb was conveyed subject to the follow
ing proviso: q
'aThat no buildings shall be erected within
fifteen feet of the front line of said lots;
that no liquors shall be manufactured or
sold thereon; that no slaughter house shall
be built thereon, and that these covenants
shall be construed as running with the
land"
William P Richards, District surveyor,
recommended that the trustees certificate be
made a portion of the records of his Office
and Commissioner Biddle's motion seeking
