Apartment Project
AT Connecticut and
kaIorama Resumed

Construction of the 8-story apart
ment project at the northwest cor
ner of Connecticut avenue and Kali
Drama road NV. was resumed last
week after having been halted since
last March owing TO inability Of the
builder to obtain adequate financing
to meet skyrocketing costs.
A new firm, the Windsor Co., has
been formed to complete the prof.
ect. In the new firm are Louis A.
Montague, the original owner, and
M. E. Kayhoe and A. Kenton Muhle-
man, members of Richmond (Va)
contracting firm, which has taken
over construction work.
Mr. Montague stopped construc-
ton last winter after 1t became evil
dent that rising costs would make 1t
impossible to complete the building.
Basement and SUBJ basement work
had been completed and flrst-foor
framing was being placed.
Mr.. Montague provided the land
and financed all work done on the
project with his own money an in
vestment, including the land, which
he estimated at $350,000.
He did not draw on any of the
original loan of 100000 for which
he said arrangements had been
made with the Travellers Insurance
Co., because it became evident that
this amount would be insufficient
to complete the project.
President of the Windsor Co. is
Mr.. Kayhoe and secretary is Mr..
Muhleman. Mr.. Montague is a di-
rector.
The work has been resumed with

Upon the conclusion of the hear

Mr.. Armstrong, strongly advocat-

national representation for the Dis
trict before granting the city home
rule.
THE argument which has been
advanced by at least one witness
that we should not be given home
rule unless we first have national
representation" he told the COM
mittee, lis as absurd as it would
be to say that no measure OF self
government should be granted the
inhabitants of Guam until they have
representation in Congress"
The territories of the United
States, Mr.. Armstrong said, have
elected legislatures and cities in the
territories elect their own local gov
ernments. This procedure, the wit
ness said, is based on the normal
American pattern.
Spokesmen for both federations
recommended that the Municipal
Court should handle local cases with
the city paying its full cost, but
that Federal cases should be handled
by Federal courts here with the
United States carrying the full cost.
