Fourteenth street, ''and it looks as though by
the middle of May, by which time all uncer-
tainty will be removed, there will be great
activity. We make specially of Mount
Pleasant property, which is in constant de-
mand, but we have not always just what is
wanted. Good lots are becoming very scarce,
and readily bring from so to 75 cents, accord
ing to their depth. The public have high
appreciation of this quiet and healthful little
village, and then every one has sense enough
to see that with the completion of the cable
cars to Mount Pleasant every foot of the soil
will have much higher value 1t is charm
ing spot, and when the cable cars are running
will be only fifteen minutes ride from
the centre of the city One who has not been
there for year would be surprised at the i'm
provements. On Seventeenth street, that two
years ago had only few houses, is now built
up from one end to the other with pretty cot
tages, ranging in price from $1,000 to $1O,O 900.
We have recently put on the market new
subdivision, Ingleside Park, adjoining Mount
Pleasant on the west and extending down to
Rock Creek Park. 1t is a beautiful stretch of
land, upon which are many noble trees. 1t
contains about seventy acres, subdivided into
lots 50x132 feet. 1t is the intention of the
syndicate to set to work Immediately grading
the Streets laying sidewalks, and planting
trees. They also intend, should the Washing
ton and Georgetown Railroad Company not
see it to their interest to extend the cable-car
line to the entrance of Rock Creek Park, to
lay car tracks for such extension at their own
expense. There is lively demand for the
lots, and the indications are that all the
choice ones will be sold before the summer is
