F al decision on the plaza case was deferred until Sepetmber at The commission also postponed until next month a decision on the application to change from residen- tial to industrial certain lots on Rhode Island avenue near Ninth street northeast. A delegation of home ownérs in that vicinity ap- peared in opposition to the change. The commission changed from second commercial to industrial both sides of Half street southeast be- tween I and M streets. In the case of the application to change both sides of Lamont street between Georgia and Sherman ave- nues from residential to first com- mercial, the commission made a com- promise decision. 1t changed three Tots and left the remainder —un- changed. = \ Summer Rates HOTEL INN Phone Main $108-8100 604-610 9th St. N.W.
