code. 1t specifies that buildings in
commercial zones shall be erected at
least so feet from the center Of the
street, which would give a right Of
way of 100 feet in the event of the
necessity of road widening. While
the question of purchasing the 20
feet on which buildings would be
prohibited remains, the cost of pur-
chasing the ground would not be Sc

Miss Hummer Closes
Career Of 48 Years
In School System
Supervising Principal Of
Division J Retired as
Board Acts on Request

A long service as teacher and OH
Ger in the District public school sys-
tenn was brought to close yesterday
when the Board of Education ap-
proved the request for retirement of
Miss Elizabeth A. Hummer, super
vising principal of the seventh divi-
sion of the elementary schools.
The voluntary withdrawal of Miss
Hummer came after 48 years OF
service, during which, the board
said. she has contributed richly
to the development of the public
schools, having exercised profess
sional leadership that has Influenced
favorably the many teachers and
officers with whom she has been
associated"
First a Critic Teacher.
During the first year of her serv-
ice. after graduation from the Wash
ington Normal School in 1892, Miss
Hummer was asked to enter the
normal school as a critic teacher.
She served as critic teacher in
the training classes at the Wilson
Teachers College for 81 years, when
vast changes were taking place in
educational methods as schools of
education we're being developed in
all of the greater universities of the
United States.
On October l, 1924, Miss Hummer
was promoted to director of inter-
mediate instruction in the elemen-
tary schools. Then, following the
death of Hosmer M. johnson, super
vising principal of the seventh divi-
sion, Miss Hummer was promoted as
his successor on June 10. 1926.
In Charge of FL Schools.
At the time of her retirement
Miss Hummer was in charge of 81
school buildings housing more than
5000 students She supervised the
classroom work of more than 200
teachers, and was in charge Of all
elementary schools in southeast and
southwest Washington.
This capable officer will be great
ly missed in the councils of the
general school officers" the board
declared. She has been called upon
to serve frequently on important
school committees. Possessed of a
discriminging sense of values, she
advised wisely in matters involving
important educational decisions. The
superintendent and his associates
therefore consider her withdrawal
from the school service a distinct
loss"

Metropolitan Area, will be discussed
at open hearings after time has been
given for study in local groups,
Park Commissioner Lacy Shaw said
today.
Among the proposed changes are
several relating to announcement OF
applications for zoning changes
which has been a bone of contention
for many years by home owners, who
have complained that the advertise
ment of zoning hearing in local
paper Is insufficient notice to reach
interested nearby property owners.
The new code would require, in
addition to the usual newspaper ad-
vertisement of the application and
hearing, that sign be erected on
the property not less than 80 days
in advance and that notice be served
personally or by registered mail to
owners of property adjoining, across
the street from or in the same block
as that for which zoning change
is sought.
50-Foot Setback Asked.
A requirement sought by the
Montgomery County Civic Fedora
ton and other groups for adequate
setbacks for buildings in CONNER
cial zones, especially on arterial
