Districts Right
To Block Cheap
Housing Studied
Capitol View Project
Protested by Group
Of Negro Owners

The Corporation Counsel's Of
fee today was ordered to look up
the law to see whether the Dis
trict Commissioners have the
power to block construction Of
low cost housing here.
The question was raised at the
regular board meeting by Com
missioner F. Joseph Donohue.
Mr.. Donohue said he was visited
late yesterday by a delegation Of
Negro citizens from the Capitol
View section in the Northeast and
Southeast area of the city. Led by
William o. Woodson, president of
the Capitol View Citizens Associ-
alton, the delegation claimed it
represents 1,700 residents of the
area.
Protest Proposed Housing.
They spoke, Mr.. Woodson said,
IN protest against plans by the
National Capital Housing Au-
thority to construct 600 low-cost
housing units for colored people
in Capitol View. Sore point is,
according to Commissioner Dono-
hue, that such new construction
would impair the property values
of scores of existing homes of a.
price range between $4,000 and
$40, 900.
This, Mr.. Donohue quoted Mr..
Woodson as saying. would
"jeopardize the development" Of
the area with more individual ex-
pcnsive homes.
The Commissioner said that It
was Mr.. Woodson who pointed
out to him a section of the Public
Housing Act which specifies that
the governing body" Of a given
locale has the right to reject or
Oppose further construction Of
low-cost housing in that locale.
Worth Looking Into.
Mr.. Donohue said that although
he fails to recall any instance
where NCHA has ever asked the
Commissioners for permission to
build such housing. the question
was well worth looking into.
Both Mr.. Donohue and Com
missioner Renah F.. Camalier de.
clared themselves stoutly in favor
of preserving and encouraging
construction of single family
homes wherever possible.
The task of interpreting the
housing law was assigned to Cor
poration Counsel Vernon E. West.
with instruction to report back as
soon as possible.

I'm 1941, the village of Chevy

and make parking regulations for
their side of the circle. They put
up the No Parking, Except Sun

Then, Capt. Thompson went on,
it was up to Montgomery County
Police to enforce the regulations.
Police got complaints about lille
gal parkers at times other than
Sunday. They put warning tickets
on for a few weeks. then started
ticketing cars with the real thing.
A few months ago the Chevy
Chase Fire Department complained
that illegal parking there might
hamper their operations if they
had to go to a fire in a hurry.
The Maryland State Roads Com
mission people got wind of the
situation and came down and
looked it over. They told Chevy
Chase residents they had no au-
thority to control traffic there
that that was up to the State.
But no word about changing signs.
