Construction Proposals Made

Several old cases will come up
for rehearing, some of them in
revised form designed to meet
some of the objections offered at
previous sessions of the commits
sion.
Three important cases scheduled to
be heard during the morning session are
the following:
Petition to raise the height limit on
the property at the northeast corner of
Nineteenth and I streets from 90 to ITO
feet, which would permit construction
of additional stories to the Medical
Building there to a maximum height OF
40 feet with setbacks.
Petition to change the coming of the
entire square west of Twenty-fourth
street between Massachusetts avenue
and WaterSide drive, fashionable area
near Sheridan Circle, from A-restricted
to B-restricted area, which would per-
NIT houses there to be built to cover the
full width of lots, such as was possible
until the coming was changed at the
last session of the commission. Among
those interested in this case at the first
hearing were Mary Roberts Rinehart,
Mrs. Natalie S. B. Yates, Hugh D.
Auchincloss and Charles Mason Remey.
Petition to change the coming of
property on the south SlQe OF harvard
street between Eighteenth street and
Adams Mill road from residential B.
restricted area to B area, which would
permit construction of an apartment
house. This is modification of petit
ton heard at the last session.
During the afternoon session the fol-
lowing three important cases are sched-
uled:
Proposal to change the coming of
property on the southeast corner of
Twenty-eighth and Calvert streets from
first commercial c area and residential
A area to residential B area, which
would permit the construction of a
proposed large addition to the New
Shoreham Hotel, facing Calvert street.
Proposal to change from A-restricted
to residential A area all of the private
property zoned A-reStricted lying with
in the area bounded by Albemarle, Van
Ness and Thirty-Sixth streets and Con-
necticut avenue, which would permit
construction of apartment houses.

and Albemarle streets and Reno road.

ARRANGEMENT NOT
ON MANSION LINES
Cassidy Residence, at Mich
igan Ave. and Quincy ST.,
a Typical Example.
BY FREDERICK v. MURPHY.

To many architects and laymen the
beauty and subtlety of Colonial archl-
lecture are lost. They do not under
stand it, nor do they like it. In most
cases during their training they have
not been supplied with the keynote
OF all Colonial architecture-namely,
the feeling for that domestic quality
which everywhere permeates the Colo
NAL work and gives it its peculiar
charm.
Many writer's have declared that
Americas only contribution to archi-
lecture is the ''skyscraper" But as time
passes the interpretative expression
given in the American Colonies to the
classical revival in the eighteenth Gen.
tury will be recognized.
Proportion, delicacy of detail and a
SIMPLE and direct method of rendering
the problem are the basic principles
of all Colonial architecture. 1t is not
enough that the architect know the
examples of fine Colonial houses and
their details, but most important of
all, he must know that when his work
is finished there will be an air of do
mesticity for which the style is so well
known.
Let us consider, then, that the house
is to be essentially a home, small
house still possessing the same modern
convenienceS and the same relative
unities as the more expensive and
elaborate residences. Finally, it should
be fundamentally designed as small
house and not small edition of the
mansion with its huge entrance hall,
elaborate parlors and dining rooms,
card room and library, elaborate bed
rooms, servant quarters, etc. Naturally
some of the features of the mansion
must be omitted. The rooms should be
smaller but we find that they all still
answer their purpose - comfortable
living.
Essentials of Comfort.
To live in comfort it is essential that
there be well balanced arrangement
of the parts of the house, compactness
and privacy.
A typical example is the home of
c. j. Cassidy at Michigan avenue and
Quincy street in Washington.
The house, elevated about ten feet
from the street level, is approached
from the avenue side by series of
brick steps laid in a pattern. These
steps are bordered by lockwood hedge
Approaching the house one is impressed
by the stony quality of the walls. This
stone affords rich variety of color

The resolution, introduced by
William L. Enequist, president of
the Long Island Real Estate
Board, points out that the head of
the Banking Department of New
York State has recognized the
fault of banks in this particular
and has recommended that loans
on real property shall only be
made upon the appraisal of a real
estate expert.
The association, in asking It's mem
Der boards to make an immediate study
of the problem, made provision further
that report and recommendations be
submitted at the coming annual con-
vention of the association, to be held
in Baltimore in June.

and with a bit of selection we get a
wall of warm blush gray with some
buff and burnt sienna spots, all brought
out beautifully by the rays of the late
afternoon sun, and giving a lifelike
effect.
In striking contrast and differentia-
ton OF the rough stone wall we have
the finely carved white, marble door,
way. We all know the necessity of a
fine and impressive entrance. Most of
all, it offers to the arriving guest a
hearty welcome. This. accordingly, is
to be the most interesting spot of the
house. The sea-shell motive, as we
know, is reminiscent of one of the
classical periods. Above this carved
white marble entrance and simple
rough stone wall rises the roof.
The roof. which gives the unity its
final touch of color, is of a red tile,
grading from salmon red at the top
tc burnt sienna and down to black.
This roof is weathering slowly and now
harmoniZes admirably with the walls.
Upon entering the hall we find to
the left the living room, to the right
the dining room. The living room is of
moderate size. The fireplace in the
center of the room is of a plain and
severe design. From the living room
one passes through French doors to a
porch, winch may De SAID 10 De the
second point of interest in the compo-
sition.
Motive Often Used.
Still interpreting rather free
usage of the classical revival of the
eighteenth century. we have reminis-
cence of the Greek Doric column and
pediment. The motive has been used
over and over again in Colonial archi-
lecture.
The dining room, though smaller than
the living room, fulfills its purpose. It
is separated from the living room by
the hall. and thus we have each indie
pendent of the other. This room, just
as the living room. opens out through
French doors to porch. Thus we have

PRIVATE BUILDING
INCREASE IS SHOWN
Figures for December From
293 Cities Indicate Growth
in Construction.

Private building operations filed in
293 cities having a population of $4,000
or more in various sections of the coun-
try showed an increase of 81 per cent
in December as compared with Novem-
Der and an increase of 2.6 per cent as
compared with December, 1929, accord
ing to reports received by the United
States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
December was the first month of 1880
to show a higher estimate of cost of
construction work than the correspond
ing month of 1929 The reports for
the two years were from identical cities.
While the estimated cost of new resi-
Dental buildings in December last was
ia per cent lower than in November,
the estimated cost of new nonresident
tial buildings increased 1873 per cent.
The estimated cost of all building OPP
erations for which permits were issued
in these 293 cities during December was
$128, 909.902. December projects APP
proved would provide dwelling units for
1858 families, decrease of l49 as
compared with the number provided for
in projects approved during November.

The wheat was destroyed by the

Investigating the condition OF a

worker reported that the only food
found in the house was a plate of
cold biscuits. Asked why he had not
made his plight known, the farmer
described as a typical pioneer, replied
that he had not sought assistance be-
cause he figured there were others
who needed help even more. Given
new hopes by the relief worker, the
farmer accepted an application blank

Red Cross will be required to assist
more than twice the number of fam

"In many of the affected commun-
