This would prevent the operation Of
the proposed enlarged abattoir and
attendant stockyards on the Anacostia
River and would direct the Zoning
Commission and health officer of the
District to make sure that existing
nuisance industries shall not be unduly
injurious, obnoxious or offensive by

is evident that heavy manufacturing

Congress is morally bound to protect
its investment from depreciating influ-

barred from the less than 70 square
miles which now constitute the Fed

Several Congressman went on record
yesterday as opposed to an abattoir
