GARAGE coming
PETITIONS RENEWED.
Hearing Asked on Right to
Build Car Places for Apart
ment Tenants.

An urgent appeal for hearing on a
proposed change in the District coming
code to permit construction of garages
in apartment houses for the sole use OF
tenants of such buildings, without the
necessity of obtaining consent of ad-
joining property owners as now requir-
ed, was filed with the Zoning Commits
sion today by the Operative Builders
Association.
This is a renewal of the petition orig
inally filed last September, when the
commission, after considering the case,
declined to order a public hearing on
the proposal.
The Builders Association takes the
position that basement garages in apart
ment houses for the use of tenants can
be so constructed as to be. neither
dangerous nor unsightly and that there
fore one or more adjoining property
owners should not have the power,
through refusing consent, to block the
placing OF such conveniences in apart
ment buildings.
In the petition filed today. Rufus S.
Lusk, executive secretary of the associa-
ton, points out that the increasing
traffic congestion in Washington is a
vital reason for the change in the zon-
ing code, since the housing of tenants
cars in apartment buildings would re-
move many cars now parked overnight
in streets.
Maj. Donald A. Dawson, executive Of
ficer of the Zoning Commission, said to-
day that the commission had declined
to grant hearing on the proposal be-
cause there had been but one case in
the past year in which garage facilities
in an apartment house were blocked by
an objecting adjoining property owner
Mr.. Lusk says one important case is
sufficient at least to warrant considera-
ton of the problem at public hear
ing. He declares that the present regu-
lation is not in the public interest, that
it places an unwarranted restriction on
the use of property for no logical reason

"G0DWIN'S OATH" TRACED

Godwin's oath, says the Pathfinder,
is the proverbial name of false oath.
Goodwin was earl of the West Saxons in
the time of Edward the Confessor, and
he was accused of numbering Prince
Alfred, the Kings brother. While din
ing at Edwards table, and, according to
tradition, while in the very act of deny
ing any part in the p ince's death, God
win was seized with a fit which caused
his death three days later.
The Normans started the story that
Goodwin choked to death because of his
false oath. At any rate, this incident
and the fabulous report Of 1t gave rise
to the expression 'Godwin's OATH"
