Reasons for Disagreement.


Il am unable to agree with this view
for three reasons:
First it is not warranted by any
thing in the application itself, which
asks for "a permit to construct the fol-
lowing projections enumerating them,
in accordance with the drawings here
unto annexed There is no request for
the erection of fire escapes, nor are fire
escapes mentioned at all in this appli-
cation. l have very grave doubts
whether fire escapes could be classed as
projections within the meaning of the
building regulations. but this question
do not pass upon.
Secondly ii was not the custom of the
building inspectors office to pass upon
fire escapes in this manner. and the Gus
tom of the Office was well known to the
architect. who was in daily contact with
the Office, l am informed. Thirdly, the
first step mentioned gave notice that
the concurrent action of the building in
spector and the chief engineer of the
fire department was necessary to locate
and erect fire escapes.
For these reasons ] am of the opinion
that the erection of the fire escapes in
question will be Illegal unless sanctioned
by the Commissioners of the District;
tion and until ii has its erection should
be forbidden.
Regarded as Conclusive.
There is another view of the case,
which. to my mind, is conclusive. This
building lot is triangular in shape and 1t
is proposed to erect the wall to carry the
tire-escape beyond the northern apex upon
public ground. a similar situation is
found in the case of the United States
against Cole, Is D. c. Reports. 504. In
that case, Mrs. Cole, with the consent of
the District built her house beyond the
apex of a triangle on public space be-
longing to the United States. The court
held that the building beyond the apex
was an illegal structure. and sustained a
bill in equity to have the same removed ;
that the building regulations permitted
projections from building lines, and that
the apex of the triangle could not be
treated as another building line and made
the basis for further projections.
Applying that doctrine to the present
case, if the proposed fire-escape be a
projection 1t is beyond the authority of
the Commissioners to approve it, be-
cause the building regulations now, as at
the time of the Cole decision, permit pro-
jections beyond the building lines, and if
il were built with their permission the
United States might file bill in equity
for its removal, as was done in the Cole
case.
In other words, even if it be pro-
lection, it would be illegal in its present
situation"

Filing of Application.

THE application to build this structure
apartment house, was made September
10 1908, and September 49, Mr.. Stephens
states. "a permit to build was issued. In
the upper right-hand corner Of the per-
nit is a stamp. as follows:
Fire escapes to be located and erected
as ordered by the inspector of buildings
and chief engineer of the fire department.
In the upper left-hand corner Of the
permit is another stamp:
Projections beyond the building al
lowed as per plans approved and on file in
the office of the inspector of buildings.
There is nothing connected with either
of these stamps 70 show when they We're.
placed upon the permit, but am informed
that the first mentioned was on the per-
NIT when it was delivered to the appli-
cant. There is nothing else in the appli-
cation or the permit about fire escapes.
but the plans filed In the application
showed the number and location of sew
eral
September 3 special application
for projections beyond the building line
was filed with the building inspector
and the same was approved by the Com
missioners. This was for a permit to
construct the following projections be-
yond the building line, in accordance
with the drawings hereunto annexed.
Then followed an enumeration of the
projections desired-area, balconies, bay
windows, corner towers, porches and
steps to main entrance and to base
ment There is no mention of fire es-
capeS."
After declaring that the counsel for
the apartment house owner contends
that the approval of the application for
escapes as shown on the projection
plat Mr.. Stephens continues:

That projection on public space.

built on triangular lot. even though
such projection is intended as a ire
escape and the law compels the erec-
tion of fire escape on the structure.
is the opinion of Assistant Corporation
Counsel f. II. Stephens, submitted to
the Commissioners today.
The corporation counsel holds that Il

turn to the same building line: that
in the case of projection around the
apex of a triangular building the pro-
lection runs from building line. but
does not return to it, at best return
ing to the building line on another

Of d triangular lot cannot be regarded
as building line from which projec-
tions on public space can be allowed.
The question came up in connection
with an apartment house in the course
of construction at the corner of Park
road and 10Th street The fire escape

plates Il wall to be erected at a dis

end OF the building proper at the apex
of the triangular lot, to be tied to the
building with heavy iron beams which
are to carry the stairways. The wall,
if this construction be permitted, will
be located on public property under the
jurisdiction of the District of Columbia
for parking purposes, but belonging TO
the United States.

TELEPHONE RATES

"A number Of telephone companies
in Kentucky which have been in oper-
alton for varying periods, from six to
tel gears are finding it necessary to
increase their rates so as to continue
operation. The announcement of this
: purpose is meeting with opposition
from telephone subscribers in some
cities, thus bringing to the front again
the telephone question. which aroused
very great public interest some eight
or ten years ago.
The rates charged by the majority
of the companies are those rates
which twas believed would be profit
able before the telephone companies
were organized and for the first few
years after operation was begun. But
it has been found that they are not
profitable, not only not providing for
adequate returns on the capital invest
ed, but not providing sufficient income
for the maintenance Of the plants, and
therefore, OF course, not sufficient for
the extension of the systems.
We, ourselves, have received
quite extensive and fairly expensive
education in regard to the maintenance
and operation Of telephone company.
Those who we're readers OF the Her
aid some eight or nine years ago know
that we took an active part in organ
izing opposition to the Cumberland Tel
ephone Company. We tried to get
the best information obtainable at the
time and the information we got was
that the rates then fixed we're pro6ta-
Bile.
mo information obtainable gave any
adequate conception Of the marvellous
growth in the use Of the telephone,
nor we're we convinced by any infor-
nation which we then obtained Of the
fact-that the cost Of operation and
maintenance increases per telephone
with an increase in the number OF
telephones.
In direct opposition to this is the
experience in other business. 1t was
not taken into account by us. nor by
any Of the other hundreds Of men in
Central Kentucky who invested their
money and gave their time to the or
ganization Of independent telephone
companies.
when taught by experience the
principle is simple, and yet it is nee
essary that it be taught by experience
to have it understood.
The investment per telephone in an
exchange Of one hundred subscribers
is not one-fourth the investment per
telephone for an exchange Of one
thousand telephones. The cost Of
operation per telephone in an ex-
