Numbers Of duck again have been killed
in the more formal, artificial shoots of
Lincolnshire, Hertfordshire and other
places where the birds are now bred al

Rode on Ticket Is Years Old.
IN the Philadelphia Record.

From the Phtladelpnla hetofu
A woman boarded a train on the Tyrone
and Clearfield branch of the Pennsylvania
railroad at Wallacetown last week and
presented a ticket calling for a passage
from Wallacetown to Pittsburg which had
been issued in 1855. twenty-five years
ago.
Conductor Farrell was curious to know
how it had been preserved so long. He
where 1t had been during all the inter-
vening years. and so the woman declared
that twenty-five years ago she had pre-
pared to make trip to Pittsburg, pur-
chasing her ticket at that time. When
the train pulled into the depot at Wallace
town en- route to Pittsburg a friend dis
embarked for the purpose of visiting her,
which made her own trip impossible then.
On going home she put the ticket away.
Finding It the other day, she decided to
obtain her moneys worth and took the
long-planned journey.

Instead of limiting the height of build
ings to 100 feet from the sidewalk, as the
old law did, the law of June 1. 1910. per-
rnits a height Of 100 feet on Pennsylvania
avenue between the points named. The adj
1tion to the Raleigh will rise to a height
Of thirteen stories-16O feet. The roof line

attracts a good deal of attention, as is the
case with all large building operations The
movements Of the workmen and the va
rious details of the construction appear to
exercise a fascination for the average
person. At any rate, many persons lolter
about the corner.
Buildings of this sort are kind of
marker Of the material progress of the
city, the expansion portrayinS in a
way the growth Of population and the
accompanying increase in the business OF
the city. There Is still another element
of interest which this building possesses
and that is the fact that 1t is the first
structure to be erected under the new law
relative to the height of buildings on
Pennsylvania avenue.
1t may be recalled that by the law of
June of last year Congress made rather
radical departure as to buildings on
PENNSYLVANIA avenue by allowing them
TO be erected at least couple of
stories higher than on any other street
or avenue in the city. This enlargement
of building privileges, however. only APP
plies to the north side of Pennsylvania
avenue from list to 18th streets northwest.
No change was made in the regulations
affecting the property on the south side or
In the sections east and west Of the
limits named.

year stipulateS that dome is not to
cover more than One-third OF the roof
area. Because of the dome covering the
entire roof area of the present section of
the Raleigh. the new structure will not
illustrate fully the difference between the
old and the new Pennsylvania avenue
heights permitted for buildings.
The extra thirty feet now given to the
height of buildings on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. is recognized as having an important
bearing on property values on that thor
oughfare, which is likely to be demon
strated in its future development The
law places Pennsylvania avenue in a class
by itself. The same law. however restricts
the height Of buildings fronting on public
reservations to eighty-five feet. Such re-
striction has recently been held by the
building authorities to apply to that sec
ton Of Pennsylvania avenue fronting the
State. War and Navy Departments. 1t
applies to 18th street where it fronts the
Treasury Department and. in fact. to all
sections of streets that lie opposite to
public buildings.
Enlarges Uses of Property.
The law of last June also enlarged the
uses of property in the business section
of the city by permitting the erection OF
buildings twenty feet higher than the
width of the streets on which they front.
Under the old law building elevations
were limited to about ninety feet. or nine
stories Now. however, height OF eleven
stories is allowed. as witness the Wood
ward building, at the southeast corner Of
18th and II streets, which is to go to that
height.
The Southern building on the opposite
corner, is only nine stories. but the walls
are so built as to permit the addition of
two stories in the future. The changes
made by the law of last June are properly
looked upon as among the most important
additions to the building regulations that
have been made for years.
AS a recognition Of the demands upon
space made by modern business and also
the increase in the scope OF business.
this legislation also has significance. If
there were no other Indications pointing
toward an expansion of the business Of
the city, such a measure would be suff1-
Client to show the tendency Of the times.
