SMOOT IS SEEKING
REzON|NG CHANGE
Senator Appears Personally
in Plea to Make Residen-
tiaI Area Commercial.

Senator Smoot, Republican, of Utah,
appeared personally at the coming COM
mission today to ask for rezoning of
the property on which his home, 252l
Connecticut avenue, stands, from resi-
dental to commercial. The Senator's
case was No. on the docket, but in
order to allow him to go to committee
meeting at the Senate, the case was
advanced to the first on the list.
Senator Smoot, in brief statement,
said he had been compelled by the great
increase in Connecticut avenue traffic
to move. He now lives in Wesley
Heights. He said he had traded one
third interest in his Connecticut avenue
home as part payment on his new resi-
dence, and that he was anxious for the
commercial coming SO that he could
sell the balance without suffering a
loss.
Twenty years ago." he said, "when
I bought my home, Senator Sutherland
and Mr.. Taft (the present chief JUS
tice). said that was fool for going
so far out into the country. Today I
cannot open the windows In that home
without being nearly suffocated by the
exhaust fumes from countless automo-
biles. A traffic light at my corner has
had the effect of making the cars all
start at once, and the cloud of exhaust
gas is positively asphyxiating
IT am no man to do anything to hinder
or mar the beauty of Washington, and
what ought to have been done with the
land in that section was undoubtedly
to have made park. But that time
has now passed. It's use as residential
property Is impossible, and the only way
I can recapture my investment in that
home is by having 1t used for COM
mercial purposes"
Objection Entered.
Guy H. Johnson, an attorney, 1912
Woodiey place, objected to the petition.
He said property owners had not had
adequate notice of the proposed change
and that the commission was without
jurisdiction to entertain the petition, as
1t had not been accompanied by enough
consents from nearby property owners.
There were two other petitions for
changes in the neighborhood and Mr..
johnson wanted the hearing postponed
and all requests included in one blanket
petition.
The commission decided to take up
the cases. however, and entertain Mr..
Johnson's petition to dismiss in execu-
tive session following the open hearing
John j. Hamilton. 26l1 Woodley place.
supported Mr.. johnson. He accused
Senator Smoot of inconsistency, saying
that the Senator had opposed a prop
osition to put an apartment house in
that section last year. when he was
still a resident, but now, after he had
left. for selfish reasons was trying to
infiict commercial coming on what is
now a residential area.
