The Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing at the District building on the morning of July 17 to consider what zoning should be applied to the Union station plaza. Thomas J. Fisher Company, repre- senting the owners, asked that the large tract be designated first commercial property, with an eighty-five-foot height limit for buildings erected there. The Zoning Commicsion. however, in ~nnouncing the hearing, proposed that the land be zoned residential, sixty-foot height limit and C area, .which would permit apartment houses or dwellings. When the city was originally zoned four years ago the ission gave no designation to the pl resumably in the belief that Co would soon carry out the long-standing plan to make it a parkway between the Capitol and the depot. During the war, however. temporary dormitories were erected there to house the great army of government clerks, and the plaza development has not been carried any farther. It is believed the request to have some zoning designation applied to the property will serve to re- vive intgrest in the plaza improvement project. At the hearing on July 17 the commis- sion also will consider reducing the height limit from ninety feet to slxty feet on Massachusetts avenue from 15th to 18th street northwest. TREATY WITH FRANCE.

J. § 'Bailey, Harold N. Graves and Guy $ Mofrett, members of the personnel \Classification board. to approve thd 1allocatiora of positions made by heads . of departments in accordance with e classication act of 1923, Claims in Suit.
