Fuss Develops
AtHearing on
Stab|eChange
keighbors Oppose
William Montgomery's
Request to Board

A considerable rumpus developed
today before the Board Of Zoning
Adjustment at q public hearing at
the District building over a request
by William Montgomery. president
of the Acacia Mutual Life Insurance
Co., for permission to erect private
stable at 600 Nebraska avenue
NV, to replace red barn where
several of his horses now are stabbed
Bitter opposition came from
group of his neighbors, one of whom
was represented by Seton Darr,
president of the District Bar As
sociation. The debate became so
heated at some points that several
witnesses attempted to talk at the
same time.
Mr.. Montgomery was represented
by Howard w. Kacy, vice president
and general counsel of the Acacia
company. He emphasized that Mr..
Montgomery dedicated a good por-
tion of his land for streets, including
Twenty ninth and Tennyson streets.
He emphasized also that Mr.. Mont
gomery last year sought and OBJ
tanned a permit for the new stable,
but did not then exercise his right.
Zoning Regulation Changed.
Since then. under an amendment
to the zoning regulations, approval
of the Adjustment Board is re-
quired for the erection Of stables
in residential areas.
Some of the witnesses opposed to
the change stressed that the plan
would mean moving the stable
farther from the Montgomery resi-
dence than it is at present, and
closer to the homes of some of his
neighbors.
Mr.. Darr said the home of his
client, Edwin S. Hoffman, was To-
Gated closest to the proposed new
stable and had a porch facing
toward the site.
"On a warm afternoon, when
there is a breeze blowing in the
right direction, you can imagine
what an enjoyable Sunday the Hoff-
mans would have" said Mr.. Darr.
Another opponent, Mrs. Donald
Nelson Of 6278 Twenty-ninth street.
which would be opposite the new
stable, said that she and her two
children suffered from asthma and,
therefore, are allergic to horses She
said she would be compelled to sell
her home, and added that Mr.. Mont
gomery's horses had been known to
run away and on one occasion almost
trod on one of her children.
Health Reasons Cited.
During one exchange Mr.. Darr
said:
Mr.. Montgomery wants to move
the stable for landscaping purposes.
We want it to stay where it is for
health reasons"
j. g. Douglass gave a different
version when he suggested it was
possible that Mr.. Montgomery want
ed to build a new stable so he could
sell some land on Tennyson street.
The board also had for considera-
ton IL other petitions, one of which
was a request by Charles H. lamp
klns for permission to establish a
bowling alley in the basement Of
two-story open-type parking ga
rage which he asks permission to
erect at 1888 l street NV.

Creditors have cooperated by giving
voluntary reductions in amount owed
a reduction in interest rate or re
duction in monthly or annual payments
extending the total amount owed over ,
longer period of time. These adjust
ments are predicted upon the debtor e
ability to pay from farm income.
During the last four years farm in
debtedness in the state of Washington
has been reduced through farm debt
adjustment from $8,277,811 to S.,
225,782 or a reduction of $3,O52,029:
benefiting 1907 families. In practical
ly every case the adjustment the diff

the individual farmer.
Ole further states that any farmer
having excessive debts or SO hopelessly
involved that he is facing foreclosure

The Columbia River is the second
