Senate Unit Reports
Gas Station Bill

The Senate District Business
and Commerce Subcommittee
yesterday reported to the full
committee a measure designed
to permit Improvements to two
gasoline stations that do not
conform to the existing coming
regulations.
One is an Amoco station at
Wisconsin and Massachusetts
avenue NV, and the other is a
Sinclair station at Sixteenth and
Upshur streets NV.
Chairman Beall of Maryland
explained that the oil companies
do not plan to enlarge the exist
ing structures, but will revamp
them to conform with the archi-
lecture of the neighborhoods.
The oil companies erected the
stations before the coming reg
ulations became effective, and so
they are now considered mon
conforming because they are in
residential neighborhoods.
President Eisenhower pre-
viously vetoed similar legisla-
ton.

In perhaps the most mo-
mentous July observance of
its history Washington's Asso-
citation of Oldest Inhabitants
today accepted the money that
will permit reconstruction of its
old meeting place at another
site.
The acceptance by the mem
bership of $4,000 from the
International Monetary Fund
for removal of the Old Union
Engine House from Nineteenth
and H streets NV. was marked
by only one dissent. This I'M
identified opposition voice from
the floor submitted plea for
further consideration of the long
pending decision. The suggestion
was overwhelmingly voted down.
The action was taken after a
report from A. Gray Dawson,
member of special committee
headed by Bruce Baird, which
has been negotiating with the
Fund for several weeks.
The Monetary Fund plans to
expand its present headquarters
structure in the same H street
block. This requires removal of
the historic Landmark that has
stood on the corner for genera
tionS.
The association remains un-
decided on a new location. One
site has been offered on a lease
basis by George Washington
University, which has space on
its campus to accommodate the
ancient brick structure. A pri-
vate real estate firm has offered
another.
Mr.. Dawson reported on the
details of the agreement with
the Fund, He pointed out that
the agency already has paid for
an evaluation of the many valu-
able museum pieces now poorly
stored in the Engine House. The
Fund has also agreed to pay
six-month storage charges on
the equipment, which includes
several ancient pieces of fire APP
|paratus. The Fund, further, will
pay for dismantling the building
itself and storing the parts that
can be used when the building
goes up again, wherever that may
/ be.
All these expenses will be paid
by the Fund, Mr.. Dawson empha-
sized, in addition to turning over
the $4,000 for reconstruction.
