To Capitalists-Ac correspondent of the
SENTINEL at Derwood suggests that it
would be profitable to some of the capital
lists settling in our midst to invest their
money in large unimproved tracts of land
and divide them up into twenty acre lots
for the use ofcity residents, either to rent Or
purchase He thinks it would be gratifying
to the latter to utilize these subdivisions as
pastures, gardens, poultry yards, vineyards
and orchards, which they could not have
the benefit of in summer sojourns in a coun
try town. He thinks there is no better To-
cation fitted for this project than that be
tween the Washington Grove camp ground
and the Laytonsville and DerwooI road
Cheapness of land. healthfulness, its close
proximity to two depots and the few hours
ride to Washington city either by rail or We
hicle are the strong reasons he presents in
favor of that particular section.
