INDORSE CONCURRENCE Commissioners Approve an Application for a Permit Affecting Building Line. The Point at-Issue is of Importance to Owners of Real Estate— Attorney's Opinion. The Commissioners of the District of Co- Ivmbia today submitted to the Secretary of War, for his consideration, a special appli- cation by Mr. Robert L. Preston for a per- mit to construct a step projection beyond the building line, according to the plan thers annexed, for a building on part of lot 26, square 137, to be known as No. 1310 18th street northwest, upon which applica- tion the Commissioners have indorsed thee ecreurrence. The propriety of issuing this permit has been contested by Mr. Robert F. Shepard, who, in person and by attorney, appeared before the Commissioners in support of his ciaim that the permit should be withheld, Mr. Preston also appearing before the Com missioners, in person and by attorney, in behalf of the approval of his application. ‘The point at issue, one of much interest to the public, was substantially as follows: In the summer of 1890.Mr. Shepard erected a dwelling, numbered 1306 18th street nerthwest, on part of lot 25, in square 137, acting, as he claims, the following order of the Commissioners of May 11, 1886: “The division lines of street parking in frcnt of lots facing circles or avenues shall pe coincident with the party lines of such cts.” Following the then prevailing custom, he laid out the beundary lines of his park- ing on the extension of his lot lines and censtructed the front elevation of his house at right angles with the side lines of said lot. He contended that notwithstanding the change in the regulation on the sub- ject. contained in the building regulations adopted December 1, 1892, that “the division lines of street parking in front of lots fac- ing circles or avenues shall be at right argles with the building line,” he had, by his observance of the regulations and cus- tom prevailing at the time he built, and by his unchallenged continuance of that status up to the time of the application of Mr. Preston, acquired a right to the mainten- ance of those conditions, at least until the authorities should make some rule to the contrary which should be applicable to all cases of like character. He advanced the doctrine of res judicate in support of his claim that the subsequent regulation should not have a retroactive effect. He adduced the fact that Mr. Preston bought his lot long after the establishment of the status he seeks by his application to disturb, as a reason why the Commissioners should leave the matter as it stood so as to place upon Mr. Preston the burden of instituting legal proceedings. Jurisdiction Questioned. Mr. Shepard also questioned the opera- tive jurisdiction of the Commissioners over the parking, and their consequent power to readjust Mr. Preston’s parking lines, so as to interfere with those established for him. Outside of the legal aspects of the case, Mr. Shepard contended that {t was not right that the privacy of his house should be impaired, as he claimed it would be, If the steps should be located as proposed in Mr. Preston's application so that per- 48 standing thereon could look in Mr. epard’s window. Mr. Preston's position was that as Mr. Stepard’s let faces neither an avenue nor a circle, but does face on 18ih street, the language of the regulation that “the di- vision lines of street parking in front of lots facing circles or avenues shall be co- incident with the party lines of such lots” dces not apply to it; that Mr. Shepard, in building es he did, took the risk of any disadvantages that might result to him if the adjoming lot owner should prefer to build bis front elevation in a different man- rer, and that much of the apprehended in- convenience would arise from the manner in which he built his house; that the fact that Mr. Shepard chose to construct his front at an angle to the building line should not deprive Mr. Preston of the option of eps on that part of the front he prefers; that no question of jurisdiction of the Commissioners over the parking is invol , a the authorities have no right in making building regulations to deter- mine where steps may be placed, but that s determination follows the choice of ner {f the projection shall conform extent, ete., with the regulations; and ly thac there never was and certainly was not at the time Mr. Shepard built his house any regulation providing that park- ing lines on 18th street should be projected cbliquely to the building line. Mr. Snowden Ashford, assistant inspector of buildings, who was present at the hear- ing, stated that at the time Mr. Shepard built his house the regulation cited applied te avenues and not to streets, but that the parking lines were extended in accordance with what was undoubtedly then the cus- tom. BS Briefs Sent to Secretary. The matter was submitted by the Com- missioners to their attorney, a copy of whose opinion, and of the briefs of counsel for the contestants, they transmitted to the Secretary. The Coramissioners believe that Mr. Shep- ard did act in good faith in building his house, as stated, and that the regulation cited did not include streets specifically, in- asmuch as the lot lines in the city, with very few exceptions, are and always have been at right anglas to the streets. In the Vedder case (Fitzgerald vs. Vedder, equity No. 12088, Supreme Court D. C.) it was held by Mr. Justice Bradley that the parking and sidewalk spaces must be measur2d by lines at right angles to the street, and measured from the intersections of the lot lines with the building line. In making as- sessm:nts for sidewalks and other public works the Commissioners for some years have acted in accordance with this decis- fen, and did so act in the case of the side- 's in front of the lots belonging to Messrs. Shepard and Preston. The ass2se- ments for these sidewalks have never been quesiloned by either party concerned. So that th2 question of the parking lines in front of these two properties was really acted upon by the Commissioners in 1886, when assessments for sidewalks were made, and this action has been uniform through- out the city. The question is considered an important one, involving as it does the payment of a considerable sum annually for such assess- ments. It is believed that the decision of Mr. Justice Bradley is just and proper and should be followed. Under these conditions, the Commissioners feel constrained to rec- ommend the approval of Mr. Preston's ap- plication for the projection of steps in front of his building. This action they regret to be compelizd to take, since they think that Mr. Shepard has acted innocently in the matter and has grounds for complaint, and has some rights in equity, although not in law, by which latter the Commissioners are compelled to govern their action. — SS THE COURTS.

Notable Special Prizes Offered for the Approaching Washington Horse Show—Novel and Attractive. The Washington horse show has been con- fidently expected to break a number of the records held by such enterprises, and in cne instance, at least, this has already been accomplished. The entries are to close April 28 at midnight, all such bearing the post- mark of that day being acc2pted. This morning Manager Field received from Sam- uel Rosenthal of Lombard and Paca stree Baltimore, an entry blank of Mr. Rosen- thal’s famous light bay mare Pink, a Ken-} tucky bred animal, elght years old, of fif- teen hands, and valued at $1,000. Exam- ination developed that Pink was entered in no less than seven classes, as follow Class 12—horse over 14 hands 1 inch and not exceeding 15 hands, should have confirma- tion, quality, style, all-round action and be abl2 to go a good pace; 16—horse not under 14 hands 3 inches that has never won a first prize at any horse show; 2l—high stepper not under 14.2 and under 15.2, to be shown to an appropriate two-wheeled vehicle, all- round action only to be consider2d; 3s— thoroughbred saddle horse up to carrying 150 pounds; 41—saddle horse over 14.1 and under 15.1, up to carrying 160 pounds; 42. lady’s saddle horse, not under 14.3, three old or over, to be ridden by a lady, —gait>d saddle horse, to go the gaits mal Saddle Horse Bus s3 Association, viz. trot, canter, rack, fox trot or running walk or slow pace. Mr. Kosenthal evidently thinks highly of his animal, who is krown to be an all- round performer of great merit, and he | stated in th letter accompanying his en- try that a party of fifty Baltimoreans had | been made up among his friends to come over and remain during the entire horse show. Mr. Algernon Daingerfield returned yester- i day from a trip through middle Virginia in the interest of the horse show, and left this morning for other parts of the old dominion. He reported to Manager Field promises of over a hundred entries from Warrenton, Manassas, Charlottesville and Staunton. He will go to Richmond to- day and returning will take in the terri- tory around Leesburg, Upperville and that vicinity, where horse breeding is so largely carried on. Many Special Prizes. < The great interest taken in the show is evident by the number of special prizes being cffered. Galt & Bro. of this city have given a $75 silver loving cup to the best pair of horses shown to an appropriate four-wheel vehicle and driven by a lady. Professional female drivers are barred, and only District of Columbia entries will be accepted. Mr. Frederick C. Stevens, presi- dent of the show, has offered a special prize of $50 for the best ligit-weight green hunter, performance and confirmation to count, and a special prize of the same amount for the best sporting tandem. Col. Edward Morrell of Philadelphia has. given a prize of $100 in plate or money for the best harness tandem, the wheeler to be over fifteen hands. Harris & Nixon have given epecial prizes of $50 each for a pair of horses to be shown to a brougham, horses and appointments to count, and for the best pair of high steppers, entries in the latter class to be open only to the Dis- trict of Columbia and Maryland. Brew- ster & Co. have offered a special prize of $60 for a pair of horses to be shown be- fore a demi-mail, a spider or a Standhope phaeton for park use, horses and appoint- | : ments to count. Other Attractive Rewarda. Samuel L. Hunt & Sons of Baltimore have offered $50 for the bast lady’s saddle horse, to be driven by a lady, and also a prize of $50 for the best performance of a private coachman in driving a pair of horses through obstacles. A silver cup of $100 value has been offered by Mr. John P. Devine of the Shoreham for the best collection of eight hackneys belonging to one owenr, open to any age or sex, con- firmation, action and uniformity to be con- sidered. It is confidently believed that this feature will result in attracting to Washingion the find@t lot of hackneys ever brought together in this country. Membership and lady season badges have been placed on sale at horse show headquarters, 734 14th street, at $5 each. They entitle their holders to admis- sion-at all times to the show, seats in the members’ boxes and all the privileges of the show. ———>—_——_ AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Property—Cutting @ an Arrest. ‘The conderrnation jury to appraise the damage to the surrounding property in opening an alley in the square bounded by 87th and 38th streets, Prospect avenue and the Canal road, met this morning and started its work. According to the plans prepared by the engineer department of the District government, the alley will have an opening in 88th street and one on the Canal road. The topography of the square will render such a thoroughfare necessarily steep.
