Hearing on New York
Avenue Structure.

The height restriction on the Cox
Building, at 1907 New York avenue,
was raised from 80 to no feet by the
Zoning Commission yesterday after
noon in order to permit Emergency
Hospital to erect an eight story addi
ton adjoining the present hospital
building. Action was taken by the
commission following a public hear
ing at which Edward Clifford, a mem
ber of the hospital board of trustees,
outlined plans for increasing the
hospital facilities and pleaded for a
110.foot height limit so that the new
building would conform in height
with the present structure.

for city planning all over the Nation.

Describes His Functions.
The principal function of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
missioner, Col. Grant pointed out. is
to purchase land for new parks and to
lay out a plan for highway improve
ment. He predicted a wonderful park
development in and around Washing
ton, and said that modern thorough
fares would be worked out which
would enable traffic to move rapidly
and easily and at the same time would
preserve the Typographical beauty OF
the territory.
"All the things that arc happening
here show that the people of the coun-
try are taking moro interest than ever
in Washington" said Col. Grant.
THE new building program for the
District shows that Congress recog-
nizes its duty to the National Capital.
Col. Grant said committees of Con
gress are frequently confused by the
conflicting views of citizens, and con
sequently postpone action in many
cases on matters of vital interest to
the District. He urged close co-opcra-
ton between the citizens of Washing

Congress.

ants have been the pioneers in solV
ing the problems of the National Cap

building upon the foundation they
have laid. He said the Board Of Trade
had made tax survey to prove that
the Federal Government is not con
tributing a fair share of the cost of
the city.
National representation for the
District" said Mr.. Graham, 'is some
thing upon which the great majority
in this city is agreed, and no one has
done more to advance this movement
than the president of this association,
Mr.. Noyes, who has made this and
the working out of the fiscal relations
between the city and the National
Government almost his lifework. An
other question of vital Importance to
this city is transportation. 1t is mot

He was not overlooking any of the

would work in. Undoubtedly it is
a comedy. Said he would try to
get the editor a part in it, golf

Heap Big Argument
Trapp VS. Robbins

In the big boxing match at Pop
lar last Friday night, Robbins was
declared to be the winner over
Sammy Trapp, colored. Robbins
was knocked out in the fifth by the
same blow that won him the fight
when his manager claimed foul.
A marked copy of the Minot Daily
News came to the Herald from
Williston bearing a marked story
and the request please print"
The story was a review of the
Robbins-Trapp bout handled in
Will Rogers style. But it is our
view that it is none of our bust
ness whether the outcome of fights
at Poplar pleases everybody or
not We also have another COM
munication from some of Robbins
friends, but really can't make out
what they wish to say, except that
its a protest and that they think
Trapp was overweight. Trapp, by
the way, is theological student,
headed toward berth as one of
those fight'in culled pasons.
