Tallaferro, a member of the | ommission, as a means of “uncertainty, disputes and per- | haps litigation.” | Commissioner Talia | heard statements made repeatedly ) public hearings of the Zoning Comm sion which indicated that property own- | ers cither had misunderstood or had been misinformed as {o the soning status of their real estate, although this information i almost of equal impor- tance to the purchaser of land as the condition of the title. “ Status Misunderstood. Nir. Taliaferro made known his views | on this subject in a prepared statement which he issued to the District Bullding | spaper reporters. Tt follows persons appearing before the Zoniag| Commission of the District of Colum- bia frequently are heard to say that | they purchased real cstate with thej derstanding that it was zoned for a | certain character of use. and later dl(-; Inclusion of the d he had in ferro sa frequently state that they purchased | real estate under the impression or | ‘understanding’ that it was going to be | changed within a short while to some | roning ification which would make | it more val ssification e + the time of their purchas usually loose - exp: which probably e little foundation, and. it is, of course, impossible for any person to guarantee what changes in zoning may be made from time to time by the Zoning C.mmision. However, | {the incidents referred to suggest the | { possibility. and, perhaps. the desirabil- | {ity of some amendment and additions | } Ito the usual sales agreement respecting | eal estate, and to the certificate issued | |by real estate title companies Laws Tespecting the zoning of real estate which give to the designated | jauthoriti-s power to speeify or limit (he heigh* of buildings, the character of occupaucy and the area of occupan of comparatively recent origin in this country. but the fundamental prin- ciples of such laws have been tested and ustained by the courts of several ates and by the Supreme Court of the | ited States. Heretofore it has been | the effort of a would-be purchaser of 1o make sure that he ob- nec. u good legal tille thereto and | {that the property is fres of incum- | brances. including taxes. It is the com- mon practice for real estate title com- | panies to report as to these items, and also as to any ‘covenants running with {the Jand.' which would affect and re- ' strict the enjoyment of the property by the purchaser. It has been the com- mon practice of real estate agents to |include in agreements for the purchase | of real cstate a statement as to war- | {ranty of title, as to existing incum- brances and as 0 covenants running with the land. New Element Introduced. “Zoning laws have introduced an en- | tirely new. element into the ownership of land. 1t is probably of almost equal | { importance to the purchaser of real estate to know whether, under the law, it may be used for residential or busi- | ness purposes, as it is for such pur- | chaser to know that he obtains a good | fee simple title to the land. “In order to avoid uncertainty, dis- putes and perhaps litigation, it would | [seem to be highly desirable for pur- | chase agreements in respect to real | estate and for the certificates of all | | real estate tille companies in the Dis- { trict of Columbia to carry a simple statement as to the zoning of the real | estate which is the subject of such | agreement or report. as, \'mned first commercial C area, 90-foot height, lot occupancy 90 per cent.'” The commission will hold an execu- tive meeting tomorrow afternoon to take action on the 24 applications for rezoning which were considered at its public hearing yesterday. A special meeting of the commission also will be held Monday morning to consider four other important peuuom for new zon- ing classifications in addition to a pro- posed amendment to the zoning code | to permit the erection of buildings 130 | feet high without setbacks above 110 | | { D —— EXECUT!ON POSTPONED. Convicted Slayer Gets Lease on! Lite by Appeal. The electrocution of George H. ‘Thompson, colored, set for July 30, was | postponed until November 8 today by Justice Peyton Gordon in the District | Bupreme Court to permit a review of {the ..cision sentencing him for | murder of & woman acquaintance. Assistant United States Attorney John W. Fihelly, who prosecuted | Thompson, interposed no objection to | postponement of the execution. Thomp- | {son’s attorney, Prank J.
