Plans
For Property on

Zone Hearing Held
For Lond in Foeey
Bottom Area

Details of the plan for de-
velopment of the WASHINGTON
Gas Light Co. property in down.
town Washington on the Po-
tomac River were revealed today
at District Zoning Commission
hearing. q
A New York syndicate plans
to erect a hotel, Office building.
apartments and stores.
The hearing today was on a
request that the coming be
changed from residential to COM
mercial in the block bounded by
Twenty-fo street, New
Hampshire avenue. Virginia
avenue, G and H streets NV.
This would fit in with the plans
previously announced by George
Preston Marshall, owner of the
Washington Redskins and an
associate of the New York syndi-
cate.
Syndicate Has Option.
Attorney James c. Wilkes,
representing the Potomac Park
way Development Co.. said the
syndicate now holds an option
to purchase the square and other
squares in the immediate vicinity
owned by the gas company. He
said his clients would use the
easterly part of the square as an
Office building for the conven-
fence Of doctors using George
Washington University Hospital.
Chester L. Churchill. Boston
and New York architect. said the
syndicate had built Rockefeller
Plaza and the United Nations
building in New York. and plan
ned an underground parking
garage for 1000 cars.
The coming council has ap-
proved the change in the Zoning
and said it would have no adj
verse effect on plans now pend
ing for the development for Q
nearby area by George WASH
ington University. No one ap.
peared in opposition today.
The commission also heard an
appeal to put new wording into
coming regulations for dwellings
and foster homes.
New Regulation Proposed.
The new regulation would per-
NIT foster homes to operate in
A restricted and A semirestricted
reaS which could take care of
two or less unrelated children
and five children or less who are
brothers or sisters.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea appeared for the amend
ment. The present regulations
provide for two children in fos-
ter homes, and at the present
time it is often necessary to
split up families in which there
are more than two children to
place in foster homes.
The maintenance of children
IN public institutions is three
times more costly than in public
homes. he said.
Foster Home Figures.
There are now five foster
homes in the District of Colum-
bia for white children and So
for Negro children, Mr.. Shea
said, while Maryland homes care
for 70 white children and II
colored children. Virginia foster
homes take care of IS white
children and u colored.
Mr.. Shea said it takes a great
deal OF time to supervise foster
homes in Maryland and Virginia,
Mrs. Harold Hinton, through
a spokesman, said the Progress
slve Citizens of Georgetown, was
opposed to the amendment as
it permitted use of such homes
IN restricted residential districts
and would be an opening wedge
Tor admission of boarding houses
IN areas in which they are not
now permitted.

tightly (roasting pan is beSt).
