Since Regulations Went
Into Effect.

A thorough restudy Of the entire

urged in a resolution adopted by the
Brooklyn Chapter OF the American In
stitute of Architects, of which Herbert
C. Bowman is president.
The Brooklyn architects asked that
Mayor La Guardia appoint commits
sion with an adequate technical staff
to carry out the work. made necessary.
it is held, by the changes which have
occurred since the present zoning regu-
lations went into effect 20 years ago.
The directors of the chapter, 1t was
also announced, have taken the posi-
ton that "any new charter for the
city should provide for the discon-
tinuance of the architectural bureaus
now existing in the Board Of Educa-
ton and In the department of parks,
except as bureaus of direction, record,
maintenance and repair"
To insure recognition Of professional
merit the directors recommended the
continuance Of the system set up by

tural appointments are made from an
eligible list prepared annually by the

vice Of the combined architectural 50.
