BY DON S. WARREN.

A proposal that large areas of land
In the District Of Columbia now zoned
for commercial purposes, but not actu-
ally put to such uses due to the over
supply Of commercial and industrial
area, be reclaimed" for residential pur-
poses has been laid before the coming
Office and may be considered formally
by the Zoning Commission at its next
executive session late this month.
This announcement was made today
by Mai. w. E. r. Covell. assistant en-
gineer commissioner, in charge Of zon-
ing. in revealing correspondence with
Chauncey P. Carter. local property
owner, which developed recently during
discussion of the oues Jon Of the over
supply OF commercial areas in WASH
ington.
Would Protect Homes.
The Zoning Commission in recent
decisions rejecting numerous appeals
for the creation Of additional CONNER
ciai areas indicated its determination
to protect residential sections from fur
ther unnecessary encroaChment by
commercial areas, and several weeks
ago Mai. Covell stated on the basis OF
SURVEYS by S. G.. Lindholm. engineer OF
the commission that there was four
times more commercial area than actu-
ally was needed. Later he added that
Il might be found necessary or ad-
visable to rezone as residential large
part of property now Zoned for COM
mercial use.
Agreeing with Mai. Covell that this
restraint should be placed on the COM
mercial areas. Mr.. Carter has written
TO the Zoning Commission that 1t
foer
70 zone for commercial purposes specific
lots and small groups Of lots because
of the general preponderance OF conf
mercial coming throughout the city.
This preponderance of commercial Zon-
ing is an error in the orginial Zonlng OF
the city and should not be made a
ground for further error in refusing TO
1one as commercial individual pieces
which are actually needed for CONNER
cial purposes.
Solution Is Proposed.
1.-THE solution of the problem" Mr..
Carter suggested 10 Maj. Coven, is as
indicated by you. viz, To take out OF
the commercial zone large areas that
are not being used for commercial
purposes and may never be. Tnese
large areas have been zoned on

for or were specially suited to CONNER
cial pursuits Since that was done the
Zoring Commission and the public have
learned much about zoning. and have
realized this original theoretical zoning
was not all it should be, and that It
should give away 10 actual conditions
and needs as develop from time to
time
Residential coming should be &C
corded TO every square foot OF property
In the District that is not being used
for commercial pursuits or for which
no application for such use has been
fled and not yet determined. In other
words. ali property should be considered
pr.,na facie residential until proved
otherwise. This would throw back into
residential zones whole acres of property
that are not now being used for any
purpose, and would bring commercial
zoning down to such a Low percentage
that the commission would not have TO
refuse changes from residential TO COM

Muncie disposed of Evansville, IS

tie. Martinsville, defending State
champion, eked out a Il to 20 vic
tory over Rochester in a thrilling
battle. The Artesians, slightly off,
form, were unable to stop the des-
perate last-half attack Of the
Rochester five. and few moments
more might have spelled elimina-
ton for the State champs.
