spaces, or require a lower height of buildings or less num-
ber of stories, or require a greater percentage of lot to
be left unoccupied or impose other higher standards than

as supplemental to Chapter 448 of the Laws of Maryland
of 1927, as amended; and within the said District the
several additional and supplemental powers or any of
them vested by this sub-title in the "municipality", and/or
the "council", shall be construed to be vested exclusively
