received your letter, dated the 2Sth Of January,
day before yesterday. AS you know, there is a
great deal of present and prospective activity
in suburban property in the District of Column

parties to have avenues and streets opened in
such directions az will enhance the value of
their country property as much as possible.
opened along the boundary fence Of the
Soldiers Home reservation which you speak Of;
still there may be such an idea and people may
move in that direction at any time. It is how
ever, impossible for the District of Columbia
or for any syndicate, or any individual, to take
your property away from you without compen-
sation. Should the District authorities decide
any time in the future. and il is not now under
discussion even, to open the road you speak of,
your lots could be condemned, or SO much OF
them as might be necessary to open the road or
street, by due process of law. The law in this
case provides that a Jury of disinterested per-
sons citizens of the District, shall be called to-
gether, view the property and assess the dam
ages and benefits to the property thus taken,
then to pay to the parties the excess Of the
damages assess1d over the benefits assessed. l
have no doubt that in this case they would take
into consideration, in assessing the damages
which you would sustain, not only the land
taken from you but the expense to yourself of
moving your house to new position. So far
as know, however, there is no prospect Of
such boulevard as you speak Of being opened;

Activity in Property Along the Line Of
Tenleytown Road.

Mr.. R II. Goldsborough Of the firm Of Colds
borough Bro, who is largely interested in
property in the Tenleytown region, has sold his
farm to q syndicate. This property contains
125 acres and lies beyond the District line, ad-
joining Chevy Chase. The price paid is said
to be about 100000. Mr.. Goldsborough has
purchased the place owned by DIR. Busey,
which is on the Woodley Lane road, short
distance east Of ex-President Cleveland's home,
Acting for himself and for a syndicate Mr..
Goldsborough has also become the owner of
two tracts Of land on the Loughborough road
near the Davies tract, which is the site selected
for the new Methodist university in case it is
decided to establish such an institution in this
District. As has been stated in The STAR a
number of transfers of property in this region
has recently been made. II is understood that
good deal Of capital from abroad is being in
vested in this class Of property and that it is
the design Of the new owners to hold the land
for subdivision into building sites in the near
future. Mr.. Goldsborough states that the cleo
trio road now being built along the Tenley-
town road, the proposed railroad along Con-
nectlcut avenue extended, the proposed line
out woodley Lane road and the one already
built on the It'll street road will transform a
large extent of territory from agricultural land
into town lots.
