BIG PARIS SKYSCRAPER
IS ORDERED CUT. DOWN
Building Was Erected Above Height
Limit in Defiance of
Regulations.
Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star
PARIS, January 20, 1911.
\ prominent disregard of municipal
regulations regarding the height of
buildings in Paris has been provided in
the Champs Elysees by the construc-
ton of a building considerably higher
than its neighbors and overlapping one
of the elegant eighteenth century ho-
tells that front on the Place de IEtoile.
The history OF this offense Is remark
able and will no doubt earn many
sharp comments for those who have
played their part in it,
1t appears that in November, 1907.
the prefecture of the Seine, which is
equivalent to the central administra-
ton of the city, issued an order to the
owner Of the building to bring it with
in the limits OF the regula lions. The
order. however. has been disregarded.
The authorities were informed that the
owner Of the building would do moth
ing Of his own accord and that he in
tended to walt until the municipal
council itself whitfield down his con-
struction. Eighteen months after this the
municipality decided to accept this
course, and 1t was proposed to spend
nearly $4,000 in carrying it out But
the finance committee hung back and
said that the sum was too great and
that it was without sufficient informatio
on the case.
However, the municipal council decided
to confirm the demand for money to en-
force it's authority.
