CITIZENS OPPOSE |
CHANGES IN ZONING
Manor Park Association
Wants no Minor Changes
Without Public Hearings.
Proposed changes in the zoning sys
tem were opposed last night at a meet
ing of the Manor Park Citizens' Asso
ciation at the Whittier School.
One resolution voiced the associa
tion's disapproval of the change which
would permit minor changes without a
public hearing. The association felt
that, such legislation would deprive in
terested parties of their rights.
The association also passed a reso
lution opposing the zoning change
which would permit the construction
of storage garages, allowed to make
Incidental repairs to automobiles, with
out the consent of the property owners
within 200 feet of the sites.
Presidents of the other associations j
In the vicinity added their protests to !
the Manor Park group's against the i
erection of a school for colored pupils j
at Crittenden street and Blair road, i
east of Rock Creek Cemetery. They
were Horace J. Phelps of Petworth As
sociation and Thomas Joy of the Chil
lum Heights group.
Other speakers were C. E. Le Vigne
of the Citizens' Forum of Columbia
Heights, who discussed last Saturday
night's special meeting of the Federa
tion of Citizens' Associations, and Burd
W Payne, also of the Forum, who
stressed the need for concerted action.
W. A Roberts, general cotinsel for
the Public Utility Commission, dis
cussed the proposed merger of trans
portation facilities within the District.
