NEW AIR-PURIFYING
METHOD INSTALLED

Several Of Washington's places Of
business, such as theaters, restaurants,
stores and Offices are installing q new
method Of purifying the air.
It Il done by = small boxlike
affair, about inches square, known
as Airkur, which issues ozone into
the atmosphere. When the ozone
reaches the air it breaks down into
oxygen, giving new life" to the
room and removing distasteful odors.
In the home this machine may be
used in the hchen to remove en-
barrassing odors and 1t also may be
carried into the den or bridge room
and hung on the wall to remove smoke
and "close" atmosphere.

z0N|NG IS NEEDED
TO GETE. H. A. AID
Areas to Be Eligible for
Loans Must Be Protected,
Official Says.

Neighborhoods suitable as locations
for properties eligible for insurance
by the Federal Housing Administration
must be protected against the en-
croachment Of undesirable elements
and improper use of property by deed
restrictions and zoning ordinances.
While zoning ordinances offer a
needed and adequate check against
certain types of abuse, more COM
plete protection can be gained when
deed restrictions are used to supple
ment existing zoning ordinances,
Frederick M. Babcock, chief of the
administrations underwriting section,
said yesterday.
THE majority of zoning ordinances
concern themselves principally with
establishing necessary standards for
Use OF property, light, air, and sani-
tation for houses and do not set up
limitations on lot coverage. lot sizes,
setback lines, and side-yard widths.
Deed Restrictions.
For this reason 1t is necessary
that deed restrictions be drawn up
for each subdivision to provide for
each Of the items mentioned Such
restrictions should be filed to cover
Ill the lots in the subdivision.
Another reason for blanketing a
subdivision with deed restrictions is
the fact that in many communities
coming ordinances can be changed
readily or are In process of change
at all times. Therefore, while the
neighborhood may be adequately pro-
tected against the encroachment Of
business property at the present time,
change in zoning ordinances might
eliminate needed control Therefore,
1t is insisted that blanket land re-
strictions be used
Mr.. Babcock pointed out also that
many zoning ordinances dedicate too
large proportion of the land zoned
TO business and Industrial purposes
and stated that developers OF new
subdivisions should guard against any
such over-estimation of the need for
business and industrial property.
Concentrate Shop Areas.
Wnlle part OF any large SUB
division should be set aside for a
community shopping center. the size
of the shopping area should be gagged
according to future needs. Shopping
areas should be concentrated and not
spread ,ut.
II all areas along the main arteries
are designated as business and in
dustrial properties, as is the practice
In many cities, the main arteries be-
come blighted areas. unsuited for
residences and not needed for business
purposes.
Mr. Babcock also stated that the
Federal Housing Administration has
found that it is always desirable for
developers or properly constituted COM
mittees to control the general type
Of architectural design to be used in
houses in the subdivision. Type and
quality of construction can also be
controlled if the developer wishes to
keep the standards Of his neighbor-
hood high.

view expressed by Robert Cottrell,
executive secretary Of the Wash
ington Board Of Trade, in voicing
opposition to the proposed tax.
Such q tax would not only work
hardship on the residents Of the
District, but Is unnecessary Mr.,
Cottrell holds.
The Board Of Trade has worked
out tax program which will be
submitted to the Senate District
Committee when public hearings
on the tax bill open. Under this
program, designed to raise ap-
proximately 100000 a year.
there would be no need for chain
store taxes, income taxes, and
sales taxes.
Offers New Tax Plan
The program calls for q 20-cent
increase In real estate taxes, an
insurance tax designed to raise
5000, 900 a year, an automobile
weight tax, an estate tax, and col
lection Of approximately 81, 0O0, 600
q year on intangible property
taxes.
Any difference left under this
program could be met by extend
ing the time payment Of PWA
loans, Mr.. Cottrel holds.
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, proHni-
nent in women's activities In the
District, added her protest to the
chain store tax. today.
Such q tax, she holds, would
be q calamity" and would prove
q burden to the citizens least able
to bear 1t.
Hardship Predicted
The chain stores have been able
to give lower prices, she pointed
out, because Of the volume Of bust
ness and the fact they have no
delivery service and no bad debts.
But with the heavy taxes pro
vided under the House bill. she
feels that many Of the stores
would be forced out Of business
and the others would have to raise
the price Of food.
Mrs. william B. Fry, president
of the District Congress, Parent
Teachers Association, also voiced
vigorous opposition to the chain
store tax, declaring it would work
"a hardship on the people by re-
sulting in higher food prices, In
creasing the already mounting
cost Of living.

MASS MEETING

tenth and K Streets Northwest,
it was announced today by Chair
man Alex G. Nordholm Of the Citi-
zens' Committee on Fair Taxation.
An invitation was extended to the
public to participate.
Mr.. Nordholm declared the COM
mittee opposed the proposed tax
for three reasons:
'First, it feels that the tax
would eventually become sales
tax which would have to be paid
by the consumer.
Second, it is estimated that
such q tax would cause rise
in the retail prices of food and
drugs of from 2 to S per cent.
