So real is the ruin,'' Mr.. Cheney de-
ciares in statement from New York
during tour Of Eastern cities following
the architects convention in the Ma
tional Capital, that more than $3,000,-
600, 900, worth of last years new build
Ing was of this blighting character.
Vacant Lot Carries Threat.
Property values are destroyed, cher
ashed homes abandoned, and neighbor-
hoods ruined by the erection of one or
more off-color, ugly or inappropriately
designed buildings Every investor. every
bank and lender of money, every honest
home builder in our cities has generally
been at the mercy of the careless, igno-
rant oNvicious builder operating on the
vacant lot next door. Every vacant lot
In an unprotected neighborhood today
carries threat of ruin to its neighbors.
This Is the greatest economic loss
OF our time, and one that can and will
De remedied as soon as investors home
owners and the public generally learn
how TO protect themselves. Congress has
pointed the way in the Shipstead bill by
establishing architectural control in
washington under the police power. In
another decade 1t is predicted that some
form OF municipal control over the de-
sign of private buildings viii be as COM
mon as coming regulations now are.
More than 500 cities have established
Eoning in the last 10 years.
Architectural control Of this kind is
not new. Santa Barbara. Calf, in 1925
20 1925 required that all plans for pri-
Vate buildings be passed on by a COM
petent architectural board of review,
much as the Fine Arts Commission acts
IN Washington. During that time more
hull - i
California style were erected, although
politics interviewed to do away with the
board and the city has since been dis
inquired by large amount of ugly, off,
color and bad architecture.
For so years high-class real estate
subdivisions have been exercising care
ful architectural control. with marked
success and increasing property values
by means of building restrictions es-
tabllshed by private agreement in the
deeds.
This is what has made the Roland
Park. GuilfOrd, Home Land district of
Baltimore, Forest Hills, on Long Island;
the Country Clubs district in Kansas
City, and the Palos Verdes Estate, near
Los Angeles, among others, the out
standing attractive residential districts
of America. What they have accom-
plished will be repeated before long in
all cities by the establishment of
municipal architectural control under
police power.
Predicts National Advance.
A great national advance to sounder
city building through the passage of
the Shipstead bill was seen by Mr..
Cheney. This measure gives the Fine
Arts Commission legal veto, with lpo-
lice power, over the design and exterior
appearance of all private buildings
fronting Pennsylvania avenue, Lafayette
Square and certain other major Gov
eminent projects in the City of Wash
ington.
Congress has protected hundreds OF
millions of dollars of new public build
ings by insisting that private structures
facing them shall at least be of a
reasonably high standard of archi-
lecture. said Mr.. Cheney. ut has also

Maps Will Be Prepared.
Since the Shipstead law gives the
Fine Arts Commission the power to con-
troll, to reasonable degree, the height
and appearance, color and texture of
the materials of the exterior construc-
ton of such private buildings, the law
no doubt will have profound effect
upon future private developments along
the extensive areas included in the bill
as subject to this protection.
The areas thus specified are the
grounds of the Capitol, the grounds of
the White House, the portion of Penn
sylvania avenue extending from the
Capitol to the White House, Rock Creek
Park, the Geological Park, the Rock
Greek and Potomac Parkway, Potomac
Park, the Mall Park System and public
buildings adjacent thereto or abutting
upon any street bordering any of said
grounds or parks.
Maps showing the areas affected by
the law are to be prepared for the
advice of private property owners, the
guidance of the District Zoning Com
and the Fine Arts Commission all of
whom are concerned in the enforce
ment of the law.

In the case of the Methodist Build
ing addition, plans call for conStruc-
ton of large addition on Maryland
avenue to the east of the present
building and running north to B street.
1t will provide additional apartment
residences, new quarters for officials of
the board and have storage garage
space in the basement for 80 or more
automobiles.
Higher Limit Sought.
The plan is to make the cornice
line of the addition conform to that
of the existing structure, which is some
what higher than so feet. This made
It necessary for the board to petition
the zoning Commission to increase
the permitted height limit on the area
from the existing 60 feet to the next
higher classification, 80 feet
Announcement that the project would
come under provisions of the new Ship
stead law was made this week by Col.
William B. Ladue, chairman of the
zoning Commission, at the public hear
ing on this and other proposed coming
changes.
Enforcement of the law will mean
that private operators cannot erect
structures AUDITING or facing upon the
Government developments specified in
the law which do not have the approval
OF the Fine Arts Commission. This
is designed to protect the costly Gov
eminent projects from unworthy ex-
ploitation by private enterprises, though
1t is not designed to prevent legiti-
mate use of private property.
The law is based on the general police
power of the Government, which also
IS the foundation of coming ordinances.
Furthermore, the law recites the con-
troll over the seat of the Federal Gov

wisely appointed the Fine Arts Com
mission to administer the act. This is
a body composed of men of the highest
standing in the world of architecture.
1T is always a great shock to visitors
to find Washington in any way below
par, tawdry or ugly, or of such bad
color or SO plastered with signs as to
thwart and make negative the fine ar
chitecture that is going up. OF course,
in the towns and cities from which
these visitors come as much as so per
cent of the buildings in most places are
ugly or bad architecture. So Washing
ton, on the average, is ahead of the
country.
Washington Better Today.
"In an approximate check-up of the
amount of reasonably decent or attrac-
tive city architecture of three years ago
I said that we could give Washington
only IS per cent, New York IL per cent,
Chicago 8, Dallas and other cities in
between, as a comparative rating. I
believe Washington is now showing a
slightly better percentage of new build
ings of all kinds, public and private as
well, because of the excellent work OF
the Architects Advisory Council.
I'm the areas which are now to be
subject to Fine Arts Commission ap-
proval every building will have to be
good, and that part of the city will have
a hundred per cent record, or nearly so.
