_REAL POty LABDRATORY ANNEX WLLE ERETED versity, Costing $85,000, Will Be Ready in 1924. A new annex will be erected to the Martin Maloney chemtcal laboratory at Catholic Unlversity at a cost of $85,000. It will be the gift of Mar- quis Martin Maloney, who discussed the plans for the addition this week with Bishop Shahan. The addition will extend northward from the rear of the main pavilion. Jt will be approximately 80 feet square. On the main floor there will be an amphitheater lecturé hall with a seat- ing capacity of eight hundred or a thousand persons. It will be espe- clally constructed and equipped for scientific lectures and the showing of the cinema. In the basement there will be all the modern equipment needed for the instruction of the ad- vanced chemical engineers. Ground will be broken early in the spring and it is hoped that the new annex will be ready for use in -the fall of 1824 The original building was completed in 1917 at a cost of $180,000. When the war broke out this bullding was turned over to the governnient and used as a chemical experiment station.

Bosto Limitation of city building helghts |BY lafy seems to be at an epidemie stage for the moment. Half a dozen lcities have concernea themselves with the question in recent months. Their conditions ar# quite difterent and the apparent motives of the height limi- tation movement are just as various. In one or two cities the protection of a particular building or street pears to be at lssue, while in others the objective is more general. In still other cases no immediate motive 1s apparent. Except in one case it is proposed to restrict the height of future building to a lower point than the owner or archit: holee would {fix. The exception is oy, Where [the existing height limits oh 2 par- ticular street “are to be ralme in !order to permit better utilization of the land. | notlons are leading factors in the discussion—a_belief.that high build- ings are unsightly in themeelves, or are harmful to the nelghbors, or the notion that civic beauty liss In a uniform sky line. i “Such bellefs do not appeal very strongly to the general run of men, and the successtul develormen! of tall buildings in both fsolated and row arrangements, and the strong de- | mana for space in them are prac- tical answers to many of tho claim: made by those who advocate restric- tion,” says the Engineering News Recqrd. “Transportation difficuities or other real objections arising out of the intense concentration of popu- lation which high bulldings produce have almost never been an argument in height limitation, nor have they been studied with due care to deter- mine their bearing on the probiem. In citfes of large size and great con- centration of business these difficul- ties and objections are serious. In smaller citles they are substauntially non-existent.” In the meantime the esthetic dlscus sion of high bulldings remains large- 1y & matter of diverging personal i views and the skyscraper has rapldly become a feature of even the smaller country metropolis, where for ‘many | decades to come such matters as zofi~ {ing and setbacks can have no mean- 1 Ing.
