ZONE LAW FACES COURT
ATTACK IN BALTIMORE
Measure, Like One It Superseded,
Held Unconstitutional by
Attorney for Tailor.

BALTIMORE, February 1.-THE
hew zoning ordinance passed by the
city council this week will be taken
to court.
Arguing 1t does not differ from the
old measure, which was declared un-
constitutional by the Court of Ap-
pea1s last week, James E. Tippett, at
torney, will try to have the new
measure declared unconstitutional.
That would leave the city without
power to restrict the use of buildings.
Unless they create some positive
hazard or nuisance, stores or fac
tories would be permitted to go into
residential neighborhoods. The in
itial move was made Thursday. Tip
petit applied at the building inspec-
tors office for renewal of a permit
to establish a store in a residential
section, denied some months ago by
the board of zoning appeals. Under
the ordinance the only thing the
building inspector can do is turn it
down. Then Tippett will apply for

A Log or Shingle Bungalow Planned
For Summer Use at Shore or Camp
This Economical and Elastic Cottage Can Be Built Quickly
and Easily and Is Most Attractive.

With the present dearth of housing
facilities, and country residences be-
ing snapped up before the foundation
is laid, it is natural that anybody
with idle property outside the city
should think of building. With the
first robins chirp 1t is but natural
that one should begin to lay plans
for the Summer-and II one owns
vacant piece of ground. those plans
should include plans for building. The
little house sketched today is spe-
cally designed for Summer fun and
is delightfully."- inexpensive and honey.
Please do not think that when We
say Summer fun" 1t is camp or
that it cannot be made a livable place
for an all-year-round home. If you
will study the plan, you VIII see that
while this is tiny house, indeed, and
would be most suitable for the sea-
shore, the lakeshore or the mountain
camp, it is also a complete country
home" with every convenience of the
more pretentious house. Not detail
has been overlooked for the COM
fort of those who are to live in it.
Can Use Logs.
Logs could be used in constructing
this house instead of shingles or clap
boards, as illustrated. If, for instance.
the house were to be built out in
sunny California, the three-foot shin
giles known as Shakes" could be used
to advantage, both esthetically and
economically Every line of this design
was decided upon for its economy,
and as the construction Is simple, 1t
requires very little time to- build.
There are no complicated angles or
curves that demand skilled labor.
The interior plan also is of the sim
plest. There is one large room for
central gathering place and where
meals can be served. The feature OF
this room is the provision made for
extra week end guests. AS may be
seen from the plan. these hooks are
large enough to accommodate full
sized couch. Curtains can be drawn
across the hooks at night and in the
daytime tasteful draperies and sofa
pillows will make them attractive
cozy corners.
Each nook is provided with a group
of windows for light, air and decora-
tion.
There are two bedrooms and a CEN
trally located bath. The kitchen is
complete in every way and provided
with an especially large place for the
of supplies The kitchen range
takes advantage of the big chimney
in the living room. If desired, for
Summer, dining tent could be erect
ed close to the kitchen door or even
extended out from the porch.
The front porch is large enough to

WASHINGTON Makes JUMP
IN BUILDING INDUSTRY
Surrey of Construction Value IL, Jauuar,
by Straus'' &c TO. Rates ID. C.. Sixth
,Among Principal Cities of US.

3 - 2 d.
Washington stood sixth among 25 of
the principal cities or The country in the
value Of construction undertaken last
month. This is based on survey OF
the country made by S. w. straus & Co.
| With a January total of s4,26S,8l5,
which was published In The Star last
Saturday, the National Capital which
| has heretofore been running tenth.
jumped into sixth place. with New
York, Chicago. Los Angeles. Detroit
| and Philadelphia leading. This jump
| in Washington represents a gain of
116 per cent.
What the Survey shows.
The result of the Straus survey for
| last month shows that developments
| in the building industry since the
| first OF the year indicate that 1925
will prove to be a period of greater
activity.
THE year 1925 has started off
| under most propitious circumstances,9
| says the survey. January building
permits for the whole country were
| within 3.5 per cent of the amount is
sued in the same month last year,
while in the 25 leading building cities
the months volume of permits issued
| this year was l per cent ahead of last
| year.
The initial period OF the year finds
| the building materials markets gem
orally stabilized with a slight up
| ward trend. Labor conditions a
| whole are good. There are disturb
ances here and there, but not of suf-
| ficient magnitude to menace the gen
| eral healthy tone of the industry.
In view of the national building
| shortage. which. in a survey made by
S. w. Straus & Co. last Fall, was
| found to exceed $4,000, 100000, the
continuation of large building permit
| figures is not surprising. In this
| connection, high Government au-
| thority recently estimated a present
| housing shortage of 100000 homes.
Cites Outstanding Feature.
The outstanding feature of build
ing conditions in the principal cities
| of the country was the loss of more
than s7,000.000 in plans filed in New
