Sensible Zoning Reform

Common sense is on the side of the Com
missioners' Building Code Advisory Committee
In its recommendation for revision Of zoning
rules governing height of buildings in Washing
ton. The committee does not see much sense
in the present restrictions on the number OF floors
which an office building may have provided the
height of the structure is satisfactory from
coming standpoint.
That the limitation can lead to absurd
situations is evident from what has happened
at the new Wyatt Building on New York avenue
A planned 18th floor of that building remains
only half completed because the regulations
restrict 130-foot building to not more than IL
"stories" BY calling the 18th floor "mezzanine,
half of the. floor can be used for offices Ine
other half must remain unoccupied, despite the
shortage of Office space in downtown Washing
ton. The building fully complies with the height
limitation for that area.
The principal reason for controlling the
number of stories in building was a good one
when the limitation was adopted. At that time
the aim was to assure adequate breathing space
for occupants as contribution to their health
and comfort. Tall ceilings no longer are re-
uured to give this assurance, as result OF the
advent of modern air conditioning. More
eficient use of building space is important IN
this era of land and material shortages.
Height OF buildings should continue under
strict control of course, in line with established
planning policy relating to the city's appearance,
trafic volume and other growth factors. But
builders should be encouraged to design struc-
trres that will make economical use Of the cubic
snace in them-consistent with health, safety
and proper coming regulations. Apparently It
will take an act of Congress to bring the zoning
laws ap to date The move will haA E to be

nation. Art may pander to the leWd.
Sport whose chief aim is to win, rather
than to excel destroys rather than
builds high character. Public posts, as
Is painfully evident in past and current
scandals, can be used by sinister prac-
tices to feather the nests of the office
holders rather than to further the in
terests Of the people they have sworn
to serve. Democracy,s chief menace
always is that the waters of freedom
may become contaminated. And, surely,
the ages prove that the stream Of
religion can be saturated with incon-
grous corruption.
Now, what can be done for the
cleansing Of these rivers flowing through
the crowded cities of our modern life?
1t is significant to remember that the
ancient prophet did not denounce the.
poison which tainted the water. He.
healed the water by putting in cleansing
salt What the corruption of our day
needs Is not so much piece Of our
mind as bit Of our hearts. "Practicing
the Presence by Brother Lawrence. as
he worked in his monastery kitchen.
and "The Imitation" by Thomas
a,Kempis, as he meditated in his
cloistered cell, have done more to heal
the waters Of life than the denuncia-
tionS of all the fiery reformers put
together
You cannot save city or society
by Scolding it, One cannot help his
age much by denouncing it. The stream
of public life cannot be purified by
screening out the things that defile.
There must be poured into the hearts
and minds Of the people some gracious
and potent influence that will sweeten
and strengthen and save. That is ex-
actly what Christianity Is sent and set
to do.
Legislation can do something about
keeping poison out of food and out Of
streams. But police never are the final
cure for pollution. A Prophet greater
than Elisha, who healed the tainted
waters, One who knew by bitter. ex-
perience that even religion can degen-
crate into racket and its streams be-
come corrupt. declared that only the
salt Of pure heart will suffice to heal
the poisoned streams Of human life.
Never did that Supreme Teacher utter
anything more pertinent to His follow
ers across all the centuries than: "Ye
are the salt Of the earth" Only by
being salt in ourselves can we as in-
dividuals become part Of the solution,
rather than a part Of the problem, Of
this tainted age.
