A proposed amendment to the zoning regulations establishing 130 feet as the height limit on all buildings erected in the 110-foot areas will be considered by the Zoning Commission at a public hear- ing May 2, it was announced today by Maj. W. E. R. Covell, senfor Assistant Engineer Commissioner and executive officer of the commission. Under present regulations, Maj. Covell explained, buildings are being erected considerably higher than 130 feet be- cause builders are given permits to erect eclevator pent-houses, towers and other construction on top of the build- ings. He cited the case of the pro- posed new office building at Fourteenth and K streets on the site of the old Franklin Square Hotel, which will reach a height of 177 feet with its towers. The proposed amendment will keep all construction on the tops of build- ings within the 130-foot limit in the 110-foot areas. Sheer, fine gauge all-silx hose, with picot tops, $3.
