Public Aroused on Nuisance Plants
Officials and Citizens Join in Demand for King Bill Passage to
Put “Teeth” in Zoning Regulations.
CRYSTALLIZED public senti
ment in favor of freeing the
City of Washington for all
time from the threatened en
croachment of undesirable and ob
noxious industries revealed itself in
outspoken terms during the four days
of hearings before the Senate District
Subcommittee last week on the King
Norton anti-nuisance bill.
From public officials engaged in
carrying forward the desired develop
ment of the Federal City and from
citizen witnesses, The Star yesterday
obtained expressions in common indi
cation that their prime motive in
supporting the pending legislation is
to have local zoning keep pace with
the trend of civic progress. Reviewing
testimony and charges made by
slaughter house representatives at the
hearing, the common idea prevailed
that the King bill, instead of being
aimed at a single industry, sought
control of all those of the nuisance
type by replacing discretionary zoning
regulation with legislative prohibi
tions.
Various witnesses and others closely
interested in the move to put “teeth'’
in recently overhauled zoning regula
tions were in accord in agreeing that
the budding permit obtained by the
Gobel Co. for a slaughter house
in the vicinity of park developments
along the Anacostla River merely hap
pened to be the example that focused
public attention on the need for pro
tective legislation.
Views of Elwood H. Seal.
Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal,
who frequently refuted the charge
that the Benning slaughtering plant
■was the sole and particular aim of
tgie legislation, yesterday gave his
ijews on the subject in more detail.
He said:
“Since the introduction of the King
bill, which wouid have the effect of
banning from the District business and
industries described as 'undesirable
industries,' the
charge frequently
has been made
that the bill is j
directed only
against the Adolf •
Gobel Co., Inc. :
While the effect
of the bill, if en
acted into law.
would prohibit
the erection of
an abattoir by the
Gobel Co., the bill
is aimed at any
or all industries
described as un
desirable; that Is,
Elwood
tnose industries wmcn may be de
scribed as potential nuisances, or
whose operations may create a nui
sance. or those of a type not suitable
to the National Capital.
“Attention is invited to the fact
that on November 13, 1936, the Zon
ing Commission, in an effort to pro
hibit a long list of ‘undesirable in
dustries,’ passed a regulation which
would exclude abattoirs and many
other types of business from the first
commercial districts. Under the regu
lations as they now exist, no new
building may be erected for the pur
poses denominated as undesirable.
“The King bill, if enacted into law,
would prohibit these ‘undesirable in
dustries': would tike away from the
Zoning Commission the question of
discretion, and would insure that the
City of Washington would be free for
ever from encroachments such as are
now threatened. In effect the King
bill would write such prohibitions into
law rather than leave them merely a
matter of regulation.”
Capper for King Bill.
Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas,
ranking Republican member of the
District Committee and its former
chairman, when asked for comment on
the King bill, with which he is thor
oughly familiar, replied: “I'm strongly
for it."
Referring to the proposed slaughter
hc^ise project at Benning, Capper
addpd: “I don't think we want any
thing like that ir, this city. It may be
something should
be done to com
pensate the firm
—I have not
looked into that.
But, at any rate,
I believe it would
be a great mis
take to have such
Industries here.”
In the 16 years
or more Capper
has served on the
District Commit
tee of the Senate
he has taken a
prominent part
in legislation for
Senator Casper.
improvement and orderly development
of the National Capial.
Charles F. Consual, vice chairman
of the Committee of One Hundred on
the Federal City, a witness at the hear
ings, had this to say:
"Legislation establishing the Na
tional Capital Park Commission was
first suggested by our committee. That
commission, expanded into the Na
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission deserves the thanks of all
concerned in the development and
protection of the Capital City.
“Enactment of the bills introduced
by Senator King and by Representa
tive Norton, designed to prohibit op
eration of heavy industrial commer
cial enterprises, and especially those
of the nuisance kind, will be a great
and important step, and we earnestly
bespeak for these bills the affirmative
support of all forward-looking citizens
and organizations who feel that our
future should be reasonably controlled

to prevent intrusion of auch purely
commercial projects as are of the un
desirable varieties.
“The particular project of the Gobel
Co. merely happened to be the ex
ample which showed necessity for such
protective legislation. Should this
company succeed in thrusting its
undesired activity upon this city, it
may possibly learn that it cannot
compel residents of Washington to
buy its products. The operation of
the slogan ‘We do not patronize’ has
sometimes proved anything but help
ful to a business against which it is
directed.’’
Other Cities’ Laws Cited.
Miss Harlean Jame6, executive sec
retary of the American Planning and
Civic Association, long-time leader in
movements to improve local condi
tions, said:
"Washington should be developed
as a Capital City, protected from
heavy industries. Modern zoning laws
generally ban
heavy industries
from light indus
trial zones, and
many cities, such
as Baltimore, Md.,
and Birmingham,
Ala., which are
recognized indus
trial cities, now
ban certain heavy
or nuisance in
dustries from the
entire city. In
Baltimore it
would be impos
sible now to build
a slaughter house
tv*.- -imm
Miss Harlean James.
witnin ns limits, a number or other
cities which have felt the need of
revamping antiquated zoning regula
tions are beginning to ban such in
dustries.
“The King bill would definitely keep
out of Washington new enumerated
heavy industries and would put the
Zoning Commission and the health
officer in a position to see that the
relatively few existing heavy or dis
agreeable industries really operate
without undue nuisance. Washington
should have had this protection be
fore; the best that we can do now is
to act promptly. The Gobel Co.
brought the situation into the open
but the bill aims at many other forms
of industry also."
Trend Seen by Gray.
Howard A. Gray, director of hous
ing. Public Works Administration,
made this statement:
“The slaughter house controversy
has illustrated plainly the consistent
trend in Washington to move such
industries away from the city.
“During the Civil War stockyards
and slaughtering houses were located
just south of the Washington Monu
ment site. Later the stockyards were
pushed out beyond the Anacostia River
to their present location. Here they
were removed from proximity to resi
dential and public property. Like
wise, small slaughter houses, located
in various places throughout the city
were eliminated.
“Now the city has expanded. It
has caught up with these industries
which at one time were placed bcvond
contact. It Is
time again, in the
orderly develop
ment of the city,
that they move.
"Slaughter j
houses, stock- 1
yards and other
nuisance indus
tries have no
place within the
Capital of the
United States, a
city noted for its i
beauty and resi- I
dential character. |
If other concerns
had expressed re
Howard A. Gray
fusal to move as tne city aeveiopea,
we would not now have the beautiful
community which has evolved out of
the former flats and swamps. Rail
roads today would be operating on the
Mall and the Union Station would not
be where it is.
“But other industries, without self
ish motives, co-operated and. with the
interest of their country and Capital
at heart, made the present city pos
sible.”
Old Matters Brought to Head.
Prom Charles A. Barker of the
Southeast Council of Citizens’ Asso
ciations, composed of 10 groups, came
the assertion that the proposed Ban
ning project served merely to “bring
matters of long standing to a head.”
"The Southeast Council is pri
marily opposed to this project as it
would be in the midst of our 10
groups,” he said. “But we are equally
opposed to any obnoxious industry
being permitted to establish in Wash
ington. The railroad tracks and the
Union Stockyards at Bennlng were
the original cause of the area being
zoned for industrial purposes. Now
the city has grown up around it and
beautiful park areas are being devel
oped nearby.”
C. Marshall Finnan, superintendent

it our Rult!
of the National Capital Parks, had
this to say:
*‘I am thoroughly convinced that
Senator King's bill, S. 2286, if enacted
into law, will be one of the most com
prehensive steps taken in recent years
looking forward to the proper develop
ment of the National Capital. While
oroaa in scope, it
is not drastic. It
does not prohibit
the continuance
of any industry

District, but it
will prohibit the

operations in a
city which is not

of the United
States, but which

C. Marshall Finnan
tme nas a large population per square
mile and this population is showing
a substantial increase each year.
“The bill is adequate to cover an
existing situation, which under pre
vailing laws and regulations is bad,
and it also provides for the future.
Because of this second and more im
portant feature of the bill, it has
been misunderstood and misinter
preted by some. It is not intended
to restrict or eliminate any one par
ticular industry, but covers a broad
field of nuisance industrial operations.
“We should all remember that not
long ago cattle were pastured within
the shadow of the Capitol and only a
comparatively few years back a rail
way station was located in the Mall.
We can now see in these areas the
benefits of intelligent legislation and
comprehensive planning, even though
at the time the changes and improve
ments were made, the voice of the mi
nority was loud in opposition. It is;
my firm conviction that the same
principles, intelligent legislation and
planning are incorporated in the King
bill and the effects of such legislation
will have a beneficial influence on this
city for many years to come.”
Nolen Cites Pittsburgh.
John Nolen, j£, director of planning
of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, observed. “The
commission has been particularly in
terested in how this character of in
dustry has been considered by most
cities—even the large industrial ones.
They feel that this business is not
suitable within a modern city.
“As an example. I cite Pittsburgh,
which absolutely bars abattoirs with

irom residences—ana even irom omer
industries.
“This serves to throw into
perspective our situation here. Prior
to November. 1936, there was no con
trol over, abattoirs, but then the
zoning regulations were revised to
conform to the progress being made
in other cities. There are some 30
nuisance-type or objectionable in
dustries that are now required to se
cure special permits before becoming
established. The new zoning regu
lations of last November are not ap
plicable to the Gobel case, because
that firm's application was submitted
prior to that.
“Sin 1920, when the zoning sys
tem here was set up, we have learned
a great deal about abattoirs and
about zoning. Chicago took its action
in 1924, Pittsburgh in 1927 and
Baltimore in 1931. The King bill
covers the hiatus in control, not
covered by ordinance regarding exist
ing Industries.
“In as much as this city was dedi

the seat of the Federal Government,
Congress has much more control over
it to guide its destines than has a
city over its own ordinances.”

E. J. Murphy Co., Inc
71# 12th St. N. W. NAt1. 2471
tary of the National Commission of
Fine Arts, said:
“Hie National Commission of Fine
Arts has long ago decided that no
abattoir or slaughter house should be
allowed in the Greater Washingon
area. This being the National Capi
tal, it is all the more reason for not
allowing such establishments within
the confines of the city and its suburbs.
"Several years ago, during the con
struction of the Arlington Memorial
Bridge, an attempt was made to erect
a slaughter house near Arlington Na
tional Cemetery, whereupon leading
members of Congress threatened to
stop appropriations for the bridge, if
such a scheme was carried out. It
was not.
It has been shown conclusively
from the experience of other cities
that a slaughter house should be kept
away from a city proper in order to
protect the health of the people and
preserve the city from such an obnox
ious leature.
“The proposed slaughter house in
the Anacostia Park area will place it
within two or three miles of the
United States Capitol building itself.
The Annacostia Park area has been de
em merit and plans for it demonstrate
ernment nad plans for it demonstrate
that it will be one of the largest and
most beautiful parks in Washington
in years to come. Then, too, adjacent
to it, immediately to the north, will be
the National Arboretum, established
by Congress, where plant life will be
studied and where it will become a
great institution on the eastern side
of Washington, just as the National
Zoological Park is a great institution
for the study of animal life on the
west side of Washington and where
as many as 60,000 people visit that
park on certain days.
“Furthermore, the slaughter house
in Anatostia would be within a mile
of the Eastern High School, the Dis
trict Jail and Gallinger Hospital.
The residents themselves should be
protected from an establishment of
this character.”
Sullivan Holds Bill Essential.
From Francis P. Sullivan of the
American Institute of Architects and
vice president of the Cathedral
Heights Citizens’ Association came a
declaration that the King bill was
essential for the proper regulation of
nuisance industries. He also was a
witness at the hearing on Thursday.
"The proposed Oobel plant served
to call public attention to the lack of
a law in Washington properly con
trolling such in
dustries,” he said
yesterday. "It is
needed here and
should be passed.
"On a recent
visit to Charles
ton, S. C„ I came
across a situation
which was
righted by the
decent impulses
and public spirit

The Standard Oil Co. realized a filling
station there offended public taste
and willingly abandoned it and turned
the property over to the city.”
Complaint of Nearby Resident.
Fred B. Monar, a Ridge road resi
dent in the vicinity of the proposed
slaughter house site, when inter
viewed, made this complaint:
"Our section is just now beginning
to realize on improvement*, and, once
the former slaughter house ceased op
erations at Bennlng, residential prop
erty has increased in value and more
nice homes are being built. A new
slaughter house there would end all
this. It would be just too bad for the
people forced to live within range of
it. Such industries should be moved
outside the District.”
Mrs. Margaret Hopkins Worrell, an
other witness who appeared for th*
Columbia Heights Citizens' Associa
tion, was a willing commentator. "If

solely because it might prevent build*
inf of the slaughter house in Ben
nlng, I would certainly have said
‘no.’ Washington has outgrown itself
and there is no longer a proper place
in the city for heavy industries. Only
small service industries, but not
slaughter houses or others equally
objectionable,
"The Gobel matter was brought to
the attention of our association last
November and it immediately took a
vigorous stand against it and other
nuisance industries. Now the people
are simply up in arms against such
encroachments.
‘‘In 1900, when I first came to
Washington, Park road was the ter
minal of the Fourteenth street car
line. The Benning district also was
far outside the city. But now Wash
ington has grown up all around these
places. The city is developing to the
east, and that section should be pro
tected. There is a need for more
effective zoning regulations, and the
King bill, which alms at all nuisance
industries, would serve that purpose.
That's why I am for it.”
W. W. Hill, president of the Federa
tion of Civic Associations, comprising
colored groups, another witness be
fore the committee, represented the
sentiments of many colored citizens
who wish to have a properly developed
city. “I don’t want to see slaughter
houses or any other industries like
that in the city,” he said. ’'This bill
will help keep them out."

Telegraphers Who Aided Taft
Open Exposition Finally Meet
Arlo Vopni (left) and E. W. Smithers as they examined
the gold-studded telegraph key at Smithers’ home.
—Star Staff Photo.
NEARLY 28 years ago, a gold
telegraphic key was touched
by President Taft in the east
room of the White House to
set the wheels of the Alaska-Yukon
Exposition at Seattle in motion.
E. W. (Doc) Smithers, chief telegra
pher at the White House, sat at the
President's side to take over the in
strument and dot-dash the subse
quent message.
At the same time, Arlo Vopni, young
Seattle operator, carefully "took” the
message at the scene of the expo
sition.
Yesterday that nugget-studded key
was responsible for the two* operators
meeting for the first time.
Here's how it happened:
On a trip East with his wife, Vopni,
now connected with .a railway com
pany in Seattle, stopped here several
days ago to visit Representative Karl
Stefan of Nebraska, who also was
employed in the Seattle telegraph of
fice at the time of the exposition.
While chatting with the Congress
man in his office, Vopni mentioned
that he would like to see the key
from which President Taft's message
whs sent to him in 1909.
Stefan's secretary located the in
strument and yesterday Vopni saw the
key at Smithers’ home, 3743 McKin
ley street.
The two former operators sat on
the front porch glider with the still
shining key on its marble base be
tween them and talked of that day,
28 years ago, when they worked ''to
gether" over 3,000 miles apart.
As they posed for a photographer,
Vopnl gingerly clicked the key and
smiled at Smithers. The White House
telegrapher, who was holding the mar
ble and gold piece at the time, shifted
it in his hand before the camera
snapped and remarked:
"I guess I’d better hold it right.”
For Vopnl, June 1, 1909, was a
great day. For Smithers it wls not
so great, perhaps, for arranging pres
idential ceremonies was nothing new.
But yesterday was admittedly a great
day for both of them.
