Henderson led the zp- peal for a reduction in the eighty- five_foot limit. Francis H. Duchay, through Atiorney J. Holdsworth Gor- don. opposed auy reduction from the eighty-five-foot limit. Mrs. Henderson based her appeal for a redvetion in the limit on the fact that 15th street should be pre- served as ore of the beauty streets of the National Capital and should be lined with hign-class residences.
