To the Editor Of The Star:
The property holders in the District are
wondering what kind of a scheme will
be gotten out next to make them spend
money.
The proposed bill which compels all
property holders who get permits to build
structures to have their plans drawn by
District licensed architects is certainly
giving it q New York touch.
II this law goes into effect and you
desire to build a woodshed you will have
to go to a licensed architect of the Dis

a model for a woodshed. and then a

Object Of Legislation.
1t doesn't require the eyes Of an Argus
TO see that the object of the legislation
proposed is to kill off the occa sional plan

create a monopoly, all of which will per-
nit the enforcement of the prescribed
rates of the architectural organization

a minimum assessment of per cent upon
the home builders capital.
The rules and regulations governing the
local building game are already irksOme
enough. goodness knows! Moreover. so
rapidly do they change that keeping up
with them is a continuous marathon
stunt. Even those who are steadily on
the job OF planning and building lose the
trail over night. Ask any Washington
architect or building contractor IL this is
not so.
