AN IMPORTANT DEAL.
A Forty-Acre Tract of Land r Parchased by
&C. Glover and Thomas Hyde.

A Forty-Acre Tract of Land Purchased by
&C. Glover and Thomas Hyde.
On Wednesday last = deed was recorded
transferring from Austin Herr and wife to
Charles G. Glover and Thomas Hyde parts of
'sFriendship," situated near the iatersection of
Pierce's Mill Road and the Georgetown and
Rockville Turnpike The consideration named
in the deed was a nominal one. Under
this guise it is understood, on excellent
authority that one of the largest real estate
deals consummated this fall was accomplished.
Messrs. Huskell Il McLeran, the agents
through whom the sale was effected, are very
reticent in regard to the deal, and no definite
information could be elected from them, but,
nevertheless, there can be no doubt that THE
HERALD's information is correct The prop
erty purchased by Messrs. Glover and Hyde,
of Riggs & Co., is what is known as the Herr
tract. 1t contains about forty acres, and was
bought by Austin Herr something over year
ago. 1t is situated at the intersection Of the
Tennalleytown and Pierce's Mill Roads, 'front.'
ing on both highways. The price, which was paid
in cash, was between $T5, 600 and 100000.
What the present oWners contemplate doing
with the property, whether to sell it again as
awhole or subdivide it into villa sites could
not be learned, but it is believed that 1t will
not be long before the property is again on
the market in one form or another.
This purchase is but another of Ar. GloVer's
property is most suitably situated directly on
the line of one electric road and In close prox-
unity to that which will run out Connecticut
avenue, for the land is between this boule-
ward and the Tennalleytown Road which is be-
coming popular driveway. Although the
former owners are understood TO have made
handsome sum on their speculation, Messrs.
Glover and Hyde are considered to have OBJ
tained great bargain. Land in the Oak View
subdivision, which is but short distance
nearer to the city than the Herr tract, is now
selling at from thirty-iye to fifty CENTS per
square foot, whereas this property was pur-
chased at about two cents per foot and why
apparent.
Land in this neighborhood is rapidly deVel-
oping and prices should advance there. The
electric roads run through it and in distance
it is not further from the business portions of
the city than some places within the city
limits. 1t is high and picturesque and affords
excellent opportunities for suburban homes.
