|DR. ANDREW J. CURTIS
. DEAD IN NEW YORK
His Efforts Brought About Build
ing of Bridge Over Potomac
at Benning Road.

DR.. Andrew Jackson Curtis, for thirty
years a resident of the District of Co.
lumbia, and by whose efforts was
brought about the building of the bridge
that spans the eastern branch of the
Potomac. at Benning road, died Satur-
day, from hardening of the arteries, at
his home. 800 Erie avenue, Rochester,
New York
Dr. Curtis was born in Saratoga
county, N. Y, in 1884. He was edu-
ca ted at the Fort Edward Collegiate
Institute. Fort Edward, N. Y. He
served as a delegate to the Louisiana
state constitutional convention, and exc
cuted several other commissions of great
Importance for Gov. Wells of Louisiana.
Probably the greatest service that
DR.. Curtis performed for the govern
ment was when. in 1871, he was COM
missioned by President Grant to ar
range terms of peace with the Mes
calero Apache Indians. Mr.. Curtis
went to Fort Stanton, and from
there, with only an interpreter. went
out among the Indians. held confer
ence with the chiefs and accomplished
lasting peace, for which he was
praised highly by President Grant.
DR.. Curtis is survived by his widow.
Mrs Mary E. Curtis, and two sons.
Frank S. Curtis of Chatham Center,
n. Y, and William c. Curtis of Roches-
ter n. Y. Funeral services took place
at his late residence Monday after
noon and interment was in Twins
cemetery.

APARTMENT HOUSE
BUILDING CHECKED
BY S|DE-YARD RULE
Under Provisions of Zoning
System, Frontage Must
Be Over so Feet.

The new coming regulations make it
apartment house on a lot having a
frontage of SO feet or less.
This is the opinion of John P. Healy.
inspector of buildings for the District
of Columbia.
Many architects. real estate brokers
and builders believe that if the Zon-
ing regulation thus restricting apart
ment house building remains in eff
feet. it will bear no small part in fur
Their hampering the difficulties of the
housing situation.
This proposition was put to Mr.:
Healy: A man owning a piece of
property with twenty f1ve-fo loot
frontage in the least restricted area
desires to put up an apartment house
on the old "dumbbelT' plan, eighty
five feet high and having two apart
ments on each floor. How many feet
wide could the apartment house be?
The answer was four feet. or, in other
words, it would be impossible to erect
such an apartment house.
Effect of Restrictions.
Mr. Healy says that this is an ex-
IRENE case. but admits that the same
restrictions would prohibit the build
ing of any apartment houses on lots
as narrow as fifty feet.
w dtheT, the real estate man.
and j. II. De Sibour, the architect,
say. however. that there are several
such small bachelor apartments in
Washington now and that there might
be built many more of like char
acter to cope with the housing sit
uation if it were permissible to build
them.
The regulation in this regard
states: Apartment houses hereafter
erected in any district containing
shall have a side yard on each side"
These side yards. in general. must
be wider proportionateIy to the
height or depth of the apartment
house.
Mr.. Healy points out that the rea-
son for this regulation is the vital
necessity for ample space for VEN
tilation and circulation of air around
building in which so many people
are living. He further points out
the natural proposition that higher
and deeper buildings need more
ventilation than smaller ones.
Views of Realty Men.
Real estate men and builders are
discussing the question now AS to
whether small apartments. getting no
side ventilation, or no small apart
ments at all, would be more beneficial
to Washington in the present hous-
ing crisis. The hope is expressed
by citizens vitality affected by the
new regulation that the new Commits
sioners will also take up this feature
of the coming regulations and give
it further study.
