Counsel take issue who is delaying the trial in Watson embezzlement case
District Attorney Beach denies any arrangement to bring the case before the court Thursday and Watsons lawyers press for a Thursday start. The case involves James M A Watson indicted for about 472000 alleged embezzlement from auditor funds. Both sides dispute scheduling with US Attorney Morgan H Beach who says no date was agreed and expected Watsons counsel to contact him. The government says it is ready but Beach had other matters in his office.

Amendments to Union Station Plaza Building Heights
The Board of District Commissioners submitted a draft bill to cap heights on the Union Station Plaza. It would limit nonfireproof buildings to sixty feet and block any structure over eighty feet, seeking uniformity to avoid overshadowing the new station. Most abutting property is District owned or held by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, with broad support for height controls to ensure fireproof construction.
