PROTESTS HAVE SAVED
ARMY'S MUSIC SCHOOL

Strong protests have been made
in the regular Army as a result
of a circular letter recently sent
out by the adjutant general, re-
questing opinions as to the ad-
visibility Of continuing the Army
Music School, which is located in
the District at Washington Bar
racks.
The school now acts in an ad-
visory capacity to the War Depart
ment in all music matters, and its
discontinuance would affect ad'
versely the musical organizations OF
the Army. So positive have been
the responses to the circular that
it is believed that the proposition
to discontinue the music school,
which has been brewing for several
years, will be abandoned.
Discontinuance of the school would

LONGER BLOCKS
FAVORED

AS a result OF the inspection trip
made by Engineer Commissioners ).
Franklin Bell and members Of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission and local realtors,
there is a possibility THAI the zon-
ing law. to become effective Janu-
ary /. may be modified, Colonel
Bell stated today.
A number of suggestions were Of
fered during the tour and are being
favorably considered. The principal
one is a suggestion that semt-de-
tached houses be permitted in "A
Restricted Areas" providing that
their. number be limited.
Colonel Bell and other members
of the party feel that this would
overcome the danger Of cutting off
too much air and also permit a
wider variance in architectural de-
signs in the construction of homes.
Another suggestion considered
important and highly feasible was
that blocks in outlying districts
be increased to 900 or 1000 feet
and that sidewalks be made four
and one-half feet wide. as against
the six now. required.
Present blocks run from $50 to
600 feet and permit the construc-
ton of but few houses. The long
blocks would permit more room
and would cut down the cost Of
paving and lighting by having
fewer. cross streets.
It is the desire Of the coming
commission, Colonel Bell said, to
do away with row houses, but lem
iency in the construction of semi
detached houses may result from
the consideration of the sugges-
tons now under consideration.
The party yesterday visited Fox
all Village, Burleith, English Vii
lage, the section lying between
Connecticut and Wisconsin Ave-
nues, Brookland and Woodbridge.
