Bad Building ExpedieltS.

bCdHoltlllBS IOT new DuilulngS
spot the entire business section of
the Capital. Banks. hotels, business
houses, stores, and Offices are in
course of construction everywhere.
All of which i excellent for Wash
ington and speaks we'll for the
city's finances.
But several expedients are being
adopted in connection with all this
building which are open to grave
objection. They make way, indeed,
to what amounts u an open dis
regard of the law regulating the
height of buildings according TO the
width of the streets on which they
face and bid fair to cost us scores
of valuable shade trees.
In one instance, which the Com
missiOners must have passed. a con-
struction is now about finished of
dimensions which the law forbids
explicitly OF course there is an
explanation. II IL that the building
is an extension Il another building
which fronts on Pennsylvania ave
nue.. As a matter of fact, the Eek
tension" is fully thirty feet higher
than the main builS.ng, through
which theoretically it obtains its
right to run up into the air.
In another instance il was neces-
sary 10 make way for a vault and
tank under the sidewalk. Half a
dozen fine young trees stood in the
way. Every single tree Of that
group represented convenience,
shade, and beauty for the whole
body of District citizens. But they
were all cut down, nevertheless. If
that is TO be done for a business
house which needs a vault, why
should it not be done for every pro-
moter who chooses to build tene-
ment houses flush with the build
ing line? 1t would increase the
disable area of property in every
street in the city. and the owner
of the tenement can cite every argu-
ment offered by the owner of the
business block.
But it has not been done every
where. It was not done when the
new building of the American Sc
curity and Trust Company was
| erected. The trees which line Fiji
teenth street from Pennsylvania
avenue to II street were safeguard
ed there. They ought 10 be SINH
larly safeguarded everywhere. At
any rate, they ought surely to be
protected from destruction through
the erection OF another trust com
pany home half a block farther
north.
Either the laws for the limitation
of skyscrapers and the protection
Of trees are good laws or they are
bad laws. The judgment of this
community is that both are mighty
good laws, and its viii is that both
shall be resolUtely and impartially
enforced. In the instances indicated
neither has been enforced at all.
1t rests with the Commissioners to
determine whether they shall be
enforced with regard TO the other
buildings now under way.
