of applications from banks for deposits of
public funds the department finds it nee

To Subdivide n Square.
1t is probable that in the near future the
square lying just beyond Florida avenue
between 18th and 14th streets will be sub
divided into building lots. The property is
owned by Mr.. A. L. Barber and ex-Secretary
John Sherman. the former holding the title
to the northern half of the square and the
latter to the southern half. Now that Mr..
Barber has secured a building site on the
TenleytoWn road, where he has decided to
build home, it is likely that he will cease
to occupy his present residence, which is
on the east end of the property above re
ferred to, fronting On Clifton street. The
subdivision when made will provide for
the retention of this house with ample
ground about it. 1t is proposed to open up
a street through the square from 18th to
18th streets and have lots fronting on that
street as well on the others. As an illus
tration Of the advance in real estate val
ues, 1t may be stated that this property
some fifteen years ago was DIVIDED be-
ween Mr.. Barber and Mr.. Sherman on the
basis of 20 cents per square foot. Its pres
ent market value, it is estimated, shows a
great advance, as $50 per square foot
would not be considered an extraVagant
valuation.
Some improvements.
A two-story house, % by 81 feet is to be
erected at 3107 Dumbarton avenue by DR..
Phillip F. Berry The f. ont will be built of
red select brick and there will be full bay
window.
Tncmas :. Putnam Will erect two-sto:y
frame house, 90 by 81 feet at Al Franklin
street.
Three Trick and stein houses are to be
built 10y Albert Diehl at 800, 324 and 32i
9th street northeast. hey will be tW,
stories in height aud Is by % feet.
A 1wo-stor- house is "a be erected by An
ME r. Sypherd at 1855 ke1Csaw avenue. 1t
will be 20 by A feet and the front will be
built of press brick and brownstone-
Gershan Bradford will build a two-Sfory
house at 312 A street southeast. 1t will be
10 by "a feet, and the front will De of
