The “skyscraper urge,” as the desire| of builders to push cornices into the clouds was described recently by an| architect, is not modern nor is it pe-| culiar to New York. It is as old as| man, and although the idea has at-| tained its greatest®triumphs in New York, many other cities of the world | far-flung corners, places where tradi tion and history were naturally ex- | pected to revolt even at the suggestion'ing constructe of towering building heights, now have skyscrapers. Some time ago 40 stories was the| | height suggested for a building in Mel- | used without elevators, Mexico City is now erecting a | which was invented in New York about | rne. 13-story structure and from China come reports of 22-story buildings erected in the business district of hasghai. Chief Interest in Life. “Since history began man has striven to express his chief interest in life with the largest possible structure he could | build,” the National Geographic Society | said in one of its bulletins explaining | the craze for-high buildings which has spread through the world. “When religion was uppermost in his mind he built the Tower of Babel, in what now is Iraq, Saint Sophia in Con- stantinople, the petal-roofed pagodas | of China, the pointed stupas of Burma, St. Peter’s in Rogwe, St. Paul's in Lon- don and 512 feet of astonishing beauty in the Cathedral of Cologne. “When immortality - swayed his| thoughts he built the great pyramid at Giza. When military strength became | the esential the walls and towers of | (Carcassonne and the Tower of London Tose, and when the preservation of the family was the prime necessity men built their own castles with high watch | towers that still survive in San Gimig- | nano and other hill towns of Italy. “Overtopping churches, overtopping | ed by Fifteenth street, the industrial | district in square 4030 and the exten- | sion eastward of the northern bound- | ary of the industrial district, northeast. | Change from first commercial, 40 | feet, “C" area, to residential, 40 fect | "A” area; the first commercial area on | the east side of Forty-second street, be- | tween Eads and Grant streets, in | squares 5090, 5091 and 5092, southeast. | Change from residential, 40 feet, “A’ | area, to residential, 40 feet, “A” restric- | ted area; the part of parcel 213/24, lo- cated east of the new Twenty-eighth street and south of Fort Baker drive also parts of lots 23, 24, 25, 26 and 2 square 5639, and the part of the “A” | area in parcel 214/86, located east of ‘Twenty-eighth street southeast. | Change from industrial, 90 feet, “D" area, to residential, 40 feet, “A” area; the portion of parcel 251/28, bounded by Atlantic avenue, Fourth street and old Giesboro road southwest.

This fee is $25 plus a fee of 50 cents charged by the clerk of the court with the issuance of the license. The total annual fee of $25.50 is payable May 1 and under the provi- sions of the law a 10 per cent penalty per month will be added beginning June 1. Failure to pay this license fee sub- jects any Washington broker operating in the county to arrest. han 20 | | Toom, breakfast alcove and kitchen, while three large bed rooms and two baths | cred program of land use planning will, in addition to Servants’ quarters over the in the opinion of the committee, be pped, the house has novel features in the | fully as significant in the long run as announcing arrival of visitors | the more immediate benefits from un- employment _relief, navigation, power, fertilizer and expenditure in the basin of large Federal funds. The development of small industrial centers, according to the committee, will permit members of farm families to | live on the farm and also to work in industry, thus opening up an elastic and dependable labor supply of high quality, providing shelter and subsistence in times of industrial depression and thereby reducing the problems of urban | unemployment relief. Not only will re- | forestation aid navigation, flood control and power development through regula- tion of stream flow and reduction in he silting up of reservoirs and chan- nels, but, the committee points out, planned forest development and man- agement would furnish a permanent scurce of raw materials for woodwork- |ing industries, provide work in the for- ests and would aid greatly the develop- ment of the recreational and unusual scenic qualities of parts of the basin. The land use and_industrial develop- ment would also afford an opportunity for_reorganization of local government and for city and regional, as well as rural planning. . The committee believes a careful in- ventory and classification of the land | resources, their ownership and present to be|travel about 900 feet per minute, or | use is an essential first step for plan- ning. On the basis of such a classific: tion, areas would be designated for pub- |lic acquisition, either by the Federal Government or by the individual States. | lateral compacts between the several | | Stgtes and the Federal Government | wéuld be a means of allocating respon- {¢ibility in the ownership and manage- ment of such lands. The planning of the development is viewed throughout | by the committee as a co-operative en- | terprise in which existing agencies, both State and Federal, will have important | parts to play.
