New Alley Bill Urged By Mrs Wilson In Washington
Proposed measure seeks to ban erecting dwellings on alleys under 30 feet wide and bars repairs to such houses. The substitute bill aims to satisfy objections to the Johnson antialley plan and was advanced from the District Committee to the House. If enacted, it defines alleys to include courts and passages and would withhold permits for alterations turning existing structures into dwellings on narrow, poorly served alleys.
