May Spoil Street's Vista Question Over Private Building Line
A long standing 30 foot building line on Wyoming avenue between Twenty third street and Columbia road may be jeopardized. The District surveyor denies power to set or alter building lines. The 1886 private agreement is seen as a land runnning with the property, not District authority, and records show the line at thirty feet though confusion remains about the exact record.

Height Clash Over New Bank Building On Fifteenth Street
District Commissioners weigh rules limiting height near public buildings as Metropolis Citizens Bank seeks a 110 foot tower opposite the Treasury. A public hearing is set for 10 this morning to decide if a limit of eighty feet should apply on Fifteenth Street, with debate over a second clause allowing taller structures on designated business streets. The case hinges on an 1903 law establishing height controls adjacent to public buildings and a later clause permitting up to 130 feet on wide business streets. The bank argues for 110 to 119 feet, citing the latter clause, while officials and the district’s charted limits contend for eighty. The issue includes correspondence from March 1905 between the State Department and the ambassador on Alaska boundary survey norms.
