Wrangle over flats as Warren targets reforms in apartment rules
Bates Warren, attorney and builder, challenged District commissioners on permits for an apartment on Twelfth Street and Massachusetts Avenue NW and another on 1430 M Street NW. He accused prominent residents of personal motives, including Frank Hackett, ex assistant secretary of the Navy, and Kellogg, of orchestrating opposition. The hearing indicated forthcoming rule changes to light and air reservations, with Warren agreeing to modify plans for the M Street house. Hackett warned of retaliation if permits were granted, seeking clarity on light wells and rear-facing arrangements before any further construction. The exchange highlighted tension between builders and influential residents over light and air requirements and the impact of apartment development.

Cleveland Lighting Company wins street lamp contract
The Cleveland Lighting Company was awarded the contract to furnish about 900 incandescent-mantle gas lamps for street service for the coming year after a thorough test and evaluation by Electrical Engineer Walter C Allen and Commissioner Macfarland. The bid of 22 percent undercut rivals, with seven plumbers and one weapons dealer seeing bonds lapse due to surety failures.
