Bill 10 Restrict
Hit by
Commissioners
Randolph Proposal
Held InequitobIe
To Land Owners

The Commissioners yesterday
criticized the bill of Chairman
Randolph of the House District
Committee which. would amend the
District zoning act so as to restrict
construction where objections are
voiced by a neighborhood. The Com
miSsioners assert the bill would be
unconstitutional and inequitable.
The Commissioners voiced their
opposition in a letter to Mr. Ran
dolph. The bill is an outgrowth of
controversy in the Woodbridge
area, where residents protested
that group of privately built
homes would lower the value of the
neighborhood
Introduced the latter part of May
the bill would prohibit the Ma
tional Housing Agency. the War
Production Board or any executive
department or agency from grant
ing permission or priorities for the
construction of private housing In
the District if rs per cent of the
home owners, in terms of area, with
in a radius of one-tenth of mile
object on the ground the project
will cheaper or depreciate the
character of the neighborhood.
Opposed on Three Grounds.
The commissioners, who based
their opposition on three grounds
said that since priorities for build
ing would last only as long as the
war requires, 'it is obvious that this
bill is only temporary in its nature
and should not be an amendment
to permanent legislation.
Secondly, the city heads said
there was grave doubt as to the
constitutionality" of the bill. They
pointed out:
There is no tribunal before whom
the owner of the land upon which
the construction is proposed could
be heard upon the question. No
guide is set forth to determine when
the proposed construction will de-
preciate property in the neighbor-
hood ."
Held Unjust to Land Owners.
The Commissioners said even If
the bill were constitutional, ''it is
not just that the owner of property
who desires to construct houses,
complying with all the building and
zoning regulations. should be pro-
hibited from using his property
merely because a certain percentage
of the property or home owners in
the neighborhood object to the use
without giving him an opportunity
to be heard before a fair and i'm
partial tribunal.
"It must be remembered" the
Commissioners added, that a man
can only be prevented from using
his property as he wishes upon some
ground within the police power. The
mere fact a certain building may
offend the esthetic sense of the
neighborhood is not ground for de-
nying permission to build"
In arguing that the bill was un-
constitutional, the Commissioners
pointed out the legislation was SINH
lar to Richmond (Va.) ordinance
which the Supreme Court ruled un-
constitutional. This ordinance re-
quired the committee on streets to
establish a building line in any
square whenever the owners of two
thirds of the property abutting the
street requested it.

Disabled Veteran Gets
Virtual Assurance OF
Gas for Job Huntinq

Jerome DeLisi, ex-Coast Guards
man who was prevented by OPA
regulations from getting enough gas
to seek a job his leg injuries would
allow him to take, last night vir-
tually appeared assured of the gas
he needs.
The OPA late yesterday issued a
statement quoting Charles <.
Davies. District rationing executive,
as saying that the case of the dis
abled veteran is being investigated
and "if the facts reported are sub
stantiated, rations will be issued
to him promptly to meet his needs
for this purpose"
Mr.. DeLisis plight was reported
in The Star Friday The 31-year-
old veteran, who lives at 5013 Belt
road NV, had exhausted his gas
rations in looking for job and
had spent two days finding out
that he would have to apply sep
arately for enough gas for each job
hunting trip-with the result that
he would spend more time and more
gas going to and from the ration
board than in looking for job.
Injured in Sub Attack.
Because of his knee injuries, Suf-
fered when a hatch blew off and
struck him during a submarine
wolf pack attack on convoy in the
North Atlantic, he couldn't stand
or walk enough to use public trans
portation,
Mr.. Davies said he would discuss
Mr.. DeLiSi's case with his ration
board tomorrow morning and Il
am sure the matter will be worked
out satisfactorily"
The District rationing executive
said he had assurances from the
national OPA that problems of dis
abled job-hunting veterans would
receive care, not only here but also
throughout the country, either
through amendment of the present
regulations or through a broader
Interpretation of them.
Provision Will Be Made.
In the statement issued by OPA,
Max Mccullough, deputy admins
traitor for rationing, said that if it
is found that changes in our ration
ing rules are required to take care
OF such worthy needs as this ap-
pears to be, provision will be made
to take care of those in similar cir
cumstanceS."
I'VE have tried to take care of the
essential needs of veterans insofar as
our limited supply of gasoline per-
mits," Mr.. Mccullough added. Fur
Tough rations have been provided
and special rations are given to
transport convalescent veteran
from hospitals and recuperation
centers to places of recreation.
Provision was also made previ-
ously for returning veterans to get
special gasoline rations to obtain a
job but it was anticipated that dis
charged veterans, like other civil
ians, would use public transportation
when available. 1t was realized, OF
course, that special cases would arise
but provision for all such cases
could not be provided in advance.
However, changes are being made as
needs arise to assure that such hard
ship cases as this one are given
proper consideration"
