Business Islands Designed.

The idea underlying this method
has been to obtain the intensive de-
veiopment of the properties nearest
town before permitting other than
detached houses in the so-called sub
urban sections. Nevertheless. the
fact remains that from month to
month the demands of housing ne
cessitate the gradual admission Of
massed housing into areas previously
detached.
During the past year several sub
missions have been made TO the
Zoning Commission of projects for
the development of outlying sections
along new and striking lines as ad-
vanced and as desirable as those to
be found in the outskirts of any mod
ern city. Business islands of attrac-
tive stores designed around court
yards, miniature villages in the Eng
fish fashion, garden apartments based
upon the most attractive types to be
found on Long Island, have all come
up for consideration. but upon the
protests of citizens associations have
all been rejected.
These model home projects were
net voluntary offerings of the oper-
ators, but We're experiments in hous
ing upon which the operators had
been induced to embark upon the
urgent recommendations of various
architects, all of whom were inter-
ested in seeing these types of de-
velopment made possible in Wash
ington. When these projects were
urged upon the commission. and their
value as demonstration projects was
pointed out, the proponents were met
with the alternative proposition of
"Why not do the same thing in urban
to permit these types?" The answer
has been that all of these projects
involved greater costs of construc-
ton and more lavish use of land for
their setting, and that they are pos
sible only where land can be OBJ
tanned more Chez My than in fhosA

welcome and support such indication
of cooperation.
In the same way the undesirable
features of other forms OF group
housing could be eliminated. To
illustrate, the suggestion has come
from representative builders and
tinanCiers that they would be glad
to support regulation limiting the
maximum number of houses in a row
to seven. providing such regulation
were of general application, SO that 1t
worked no special hardship or gave
no special advantage to any one.
Imagine the effect upon the appear
ance of Washington's streets II such
a. ruling were made. Couple with 1t
further regulations tending to en-
courage the admixture OF smaller
groups with the larger ones-semi-
detached and community houses
breaking up the monotony of the end
less rows. and "a new suburban type
will result. Encourage the develop
ment of entire blocks with massed
garages, inner gardens and present
able backs OF houses, instead of con-
sidering only frontage. Show the pos
sibiities of setbacks, or variations
from the building line, instead of the
embarrassing accuracy Of row align.
ment.
FavOrs Business Islands.
Open new areas for community
groups, but encourage their variation
with semi-detached types, to the bet
torment of their mutual appearance.
It is the monotony of either, unre-
iieved by contrast, which tends toward
undesirability.
Instead of needlessly long CONNER
cial arteries, which go either into row
houses or apartments equally unde-
sirable when mixed with stores and
filling stations. let MS have business
islands adapted to the needs of com
munities. Nothing is less attractive
than the backs of these commercial
lines. which blight the adjoining resi-
dental districts. Nothing would be
more attractive than island develop
ments straddling the avenues, with

store in Hauowell. In later years the
business was taken over, and con-
tinued, after his death, by his son
George B. Warner, the present owner

nifies 66 years of continuous service

to stand true to Christ.
The meetings began in the vestry
which seated about three hundred
people but they were soon forced
to seek larger quarters by the in
creasing crowds that gathered each
evening until the church was filled
to it's utmost capacity and 81 extra
chairs were in use, and boys were
seated around the edge of the plat
form. Mr.. Colby vas congratulated
on several occasions by we'll bno' n

with a standing invitation to return

home at SO Fountain street until
