The District Zoning Adjustment
Board today gave Providence Hos
pital permission to build its pro-
posed 400-bed hospital on a Is
acre tract near Catholic Univer-
sity. ~s
The board also approved con-
struction of a 1.10o-unit $8,ooo,o 900
apartment building on the site
of the old Martha Washington
Seminary at 3640 Sixteenth street
NV. The present structure is
operated as a boarding house.
Without changing the present
coming classification - restricting

Hospital Seeks Federal Aid.
Daniel w. O'Donoghue. jr.,
Providence Hospital attorney. said
specific plans for the new hospital
have not been made and an ar
chitect has not yet been hired.
Off1cials hope for Federal aid to
build the modern-type teaching
hospital, which may cost as much
as $5,000,0oo.
Under present plans. the exist
ing hospital at Second and D
streets Sc, will be retained in
part as an out-patient adjunct OF
the main building near Catholic
University. To keep the old build
ings in operating order, mean
while, officials have spent $150.000
since the war just to meet fire
safeguards.
On the apartment project. the
zoning Board granted an appeal
by Eard c. Baltz, president Of the
Perpetual Building Association, for
variances to the zoning regula-
tions in that section, allowing the
eight story building to exceed the
60-foot height requirement, but
not to exceed 80 feet.
Nursery School Approved.
The board also allowed the
apartment to contain a public
storage garage and outdoor park
ing spaces.
The new apartment will be
built by the Jonathan Woodner
Co. Spokesman for the company
said the plans were in the very
lively stage" and would not say
when construction would start.
The board also granted an ap-
peal Of Alphonso and Elizabeth
B. Williamson for permission to
establish a nursery school not ex-
ceeding IS children at 1401 Frank
lin street NE. an "A" restricted
area district; an appeal Of Christ
Chaplin to permit erection of two

ings at 1909 and 1911 Forty sixth
street Sc, and denied an ap-
peal Of Arthur H. Dadian to con-
vert a building at 2209 Massa-
chusetts avenue NV. into eight
apartments.
The board also denied an ap-
peal Of the Protestants and Other
Americans United For Separation
of Church and State for permis-
sion to establish q philanthropic
or eleemosynary institution at
1883 Massachusetts, avenue NV.
on the grounds that the aims of
the organization were not strictly
