The property is owned by Rozier Du- | lang, jr., and the Bugher estate. The owners complained to the court that while it is within 100 feet of Sixteenth street it fronts on K street, which in the vicinity is zoned first commercial, and as residential property could not | be used to advantage and was pncu-“ cally a dead loss. The Zoning Commission filed a motion to dismiss the proceeding and this was granted by Justice Wendell P. Stafford, then a member of the court. The owners appealed from this ruling and | the District Court of Appeals declared | the action premature and sent the case | back for consideration by the lower | court. | The matter came up before Justice | Gordon today, when counsel presented & decree annulling the former zoning | and directing the commission to re- | zone the property as first commercial. | Assistant Corporation Counsel Vernon Efibglde? r:grzsex‘flgl the commission and | n the By ey points raised in the motion | ‘e Bugher property was repr by Attorneys 1>£eu‘e).e Ogilby & ‘igi’rf“.’fifi | the Dulany property by Attorneys Simon, Koenigsberger, Young and Brez. | General Powers Remain.

This residential zone along Sixtenth street runs back 100 feet from the Sixteenth street curb line, thereby bring the two K street properties within the resi- dential zone.
