NEED OF LEGISLATION
REVISION OF SYSTEM REGULAT-
ING BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.

In order to render the Office of the build
ing inspector of the District self-supporting
an effort will be made by the Commission
ers during the present session of Congress
to obtain legislation to regulate the system
of fees for permits and other transactions.
Engineer Commissioner Biddle is having
bill drafted, and it will be ready to present
to Congress next week
Many complaints have been received by
District officials concerning the present sys-
TEN of fees in the building office. After
consulting with Snowden Ashford, the
building inspector, the Commissioners have
determined to remedy the conditions COM
planned of. If possible. 1t has been de
clared by the protestants that it Is unjust
TO make an applicant pay just as much to
secure a permit for the erection of a $1,000
building Is paid for permit for the erec-
ton of large office building or apartment
house. Such condition, 1t is stated, does
not exist in other large cities. Inspector
Ashford recently sent a circular letter,
making inquiries, to a number or large cities
and as a result he has found that major
ity of them charge a fee of 81 for every
$1,000 in estimated cost of the proposed
building for which the permit is asked, up
to $1,000 and S1.5O for every SlUo value
above that amount, and he is of the opinion
that such a system should be adopted in
the District of Columbia He contends that
its adoption would not only give satisfac-
ton to the applicants for permits here, but
would add greatly to the revenues of the
office.
Necessity for Changes.
The Commissioners have realized for
some time the necessity of certain changes
IN the building office, and last spring de-
cided to have the building regulations
which had been in use for many years
revised and brought up to date, and Spe-
cial committee was appointed to make the
changes. They have not completed the
work but. according to Inspector Ashford,
the revision will be in the hands of the
Commissioners for approval in a few
weeks DR. Albert Ridgely of 1913 NJ street
northwest has suggested that legislation be
enacted specifying the time in which party
walls may be torn out.
1t was stated by Mr.. Ridgely that the wall
next to the building occupied by him is now
torn out and has left his section of the wall
In such shape that dust and dirt continually
sift through, and that he is almost unable
to heat his apartments. When asked about
the matter Inspector Ashford said today
that he will recommend that all persons
desiring to tear out a party wall must be
compelled to give bond to the building
inspector insuring that all expenses and
damages TO residents OF adjoining proper
ties will be met.
That the present building-permit law of
the District is looked upon unfavorably by
citizens and business men is said to be APP
parent. At meeting of the board of d.
rectors OF the Jobbers and Shippers Asso-
citation yesterday Ii was decided that
committee of three be appointed to make
a personal appeal to the Commissioners for
an amendment to the District laws relating
to the issuance of building permits.

LAW WAS DEFECTIVE.
Judge Prentis Yesterday Re-
versed His Own Decision.
Especial to The Times Dispatch.)


+ SUFFOLK, VA. January 30.-Circuit
Judge Prentis this afternoon reversed his
decision of yesterday, when he denied
the prayer for an injunction restraining
the Norfolk City Council from redis
triciing that towns wards.
Former Senator Jeffreys and his law
partner. j. Il. Lawless. once State Seq
rotary OF Virginia. went to Richmond
last night and learned that the law on
which Judge Prentis based his decision
was not legally passed Instead of APP
pealing to the Supreme Court, as the
complaintants aimed to do, they gave
Judge Prentis an opportunity for another
ruling. and he decided in their favor,
granting the injunction.
The law on which he based his ruling
yesterday was found to have been defec-
tive because of the fact that it was not
supported by constitutional majority
in the General Assembly.
To-day's decision is a victory for the
anti-administration people
