CITIZENS PROTEST APARTMENT SITE Permit on Building at Corner of Wisconsin Avenue Called Result of “Blunder.” Protest against the “blunder or lack of foresight on the part of responsible District avthorities” in connection with ihe permits for erection of an apart- ment house at Woodley road and Wis- onsin avenue was made in the form of ’ unanimously adopted resolution at the meeting of the Cathedral Heights- Cleveland Park Citizens' Assoclation Jast night at John Eaton School, Thirty- Tourth and Lowell streets. The resolution, introduced by George £, Powell, charges that an error was made in “permitting the erection of an apartmer Zouse on the northwest cor- mer of the intersection »f Wisconsin avenue and Woodley road, wiere the mctual building extends far beyond the‘ fronts of other similar properties in the same block, and directly into the | dine of Woodley road as it projects to the east, effectually preventing further | meedful widening of this thoroughfare. | in addition to completely blocking the | wvista westward and leaving only & nar- | yow space for sidewalk.” i D, C. Negligence Charged. It was further charged that the A restricted character of the Woodley road area is violated because of “fla- grant neglect of official effort to pro- tect this purely residential street from the encroachment of large tenements.” df the zoning regulations were not actually violated, “their spirit was cer- tainly wantonly sacrificed to the greed of a landlord,” the complaint says. The association “voices its feeble, be- | tause voteless, but nevertheless earnest | protest against such a blot on the land- | Bcape, and thesofficial negligence which | permits it to be,” the resolution con- | tinues. Copies were ordered sent to the District Commissioners. The build- ng in question has not yet been com- Ppleted. New Officers Elected. i Officers_clected for the coming year | fre John W.
