~ SSSS ssS~sS asf
The Board of Zoning Adjustment
late yesterday denied an appeal by
former Gov. Walter E. Edge of New
Jersey for permission to convert a
25-room mansion at 1920 Eighteenth
street NV into offices for the
Structural Clay Products Institute.
Board Member Robert o. Clouser
said Mr.. Edge failed to prove that
the institute is "nonprofit insti-
tuition of higher learning or culture
devoted exclusively to the arts and
sciences" He also failed to prove,
Mr.. Clouser said, that it is philan-
thropic institution.
Inasmuch as the street is zoned
for apartments, he said, the petition
was denied.
Thirty Other Gases.
Thirty other cases were heard by
the board in day-long hearings at
the District Building yesterday.
One of the more controversial
cases resulted in a victory for the =
Marjorie Webster Junior College
over residents of the neighborhood
around Sixteenth and Jonquil
streets NV. After hearing stiff op-
position from the residents at pre-
vious hearing, the board yesterday
granted the school permission to
continue using houses at 1601-23-31
Jonquil street NV. as dormltories
for girl students for Is months.
Certain conditions accompanied
the permission, Mr.. Clouser said.
Some residents had protested to the
board that the dates" of the girl
students created too much commo-
ton with their arrivals and de-
partures.
