The historic Union Fire En-
CINE House on the southeast
corner of Nineteenth and H
streets NV. Is threatened with
destruction.
But q raft Of legal questions
remain to be resolved, and the
lawyers are now wrestling with
them.
The international Monetary
Fund not to be confused with
the International Bank of Re-
construction and Development.
with which it shares the build
ing at 1918 H street N.W.-pro-
poses to erect q new "a million.
13-story office building on the
engine house site. 1t has ac-
quired the adjoining property
and torn down the old houses
there, so the old fire house is
more prominent than ever. The
District Zoning Commission has
approved the Funds application
for q coming change.
Letter Cited
Those who favor the tearing
down of the old Union Fire En-
CINE House point out that Presi-
dent Eisenhower sent letter to
the General Services Administra-
ton, saying he wants to see the
Government divest itself, all
over the Nation, of any property
1t is not using. They feel the old
fire house falls in this category
But William E. Leahy. promi-
nent Washington lawyer and
president of the Association Of
Oldest Inhabitants, which meets
in the old fire house with Con-
gressional approval, wants 1t to
remain there. He suggests that
! the Fund erect its new building
around 1t on two sides and with
several stories Immediately above
the steeple of the historic struc-
iture.
II think the old fire house
ought to stay" Mr.. Leahy said.

have nowhere else to go. We've
been taking care Of the building
since 1909, under authority Of q
special Act of Congress" The
land may revert to the heirs and
the Department Of Justice may
be asked to construe the deed. :"
Here are some of the legal
Questions:
Who really owns the old build

Ilieved to be the property Of the

here's short recap.
Don't try to light up the cob

ably do the job. Too many farm

Try using movable protector

Predicts Colder
Year For Nation

According to a report from the
US. Weather Bureau. the United
Auto Club learned this week to
expect a colder and longer win
ter in 1856 than any of the
past decade.
Earl J. Fisher, general manager
OF the U.A.C., said in an inter-
view, There are signs of an
early winter in the air right now.
A colder than usual climate in
late October usually means a
dreary outlook for a lot of motor
lists in this region of the U.s..
Already we have noted a
sharp increase in service calls,
particularly from motorists trav-
cling our expressway systems. II
seems that with the advent Of
colder weather and highway ex-
pansion our road service depart
ment is busy around the clock"
Mr.. Fisher revealed in his ex-
pansion announcement That 97ec
of the Clubs membership renews
each year..
