Interest Taken in Scheme for Another
Large Hotel.
PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF CITY
Progress in Erection of Buildings
in Various Sections.
NJ MATTERS OF INTEREST

The inquiry that has been made of Mr.
c. C. Willard as TO the purchase price Of
that portion Of his realty holdings which
side of F. street between 18th and 14th
Streets has created a good deal of interest
among property holders and others who are
concerned in that section of the city Ac-
cording to what said to Mr.. Willard
1t is evident the purpose of those who are
working out the details of scheme for the
erection of a hotel building on this site is
not to ignore the fact of the Importance of
this thoroughfare a business street 1t
will be recalled that an essential feature of
the plan, as outlined by Mr.. Willard, con-
sisted of the stores which are to OCCUPY
practically the entire first floor of the pro-
posed structure
The upper portion of the building is to
be run as high as the building regulations
will permit, and the upper floors will be
used for hotel purposes, except of course
the necessary room for lobbies and other
adjuncts of modern hotel, which are usu-
ally found on the first story. 1t is believed
by the projectors of this enterprise that
in this way The property, situated as it is
on a busy business street, can be utilized 20
the best advantage 1t is not known of
course, what Mr.. Wizards intentions are in
the matter or whether anything will come
from the negotiations which have thus far
only reached the preliminary stages, but
the possibility of such a change in the i'm
provement of an entire frontage Of one
side Of q block on F street Is Of consider:
able consequence.

moro than mere local consequence received
another striking proof at the recent gath
ering here of national organization OF
architects, embracing the leading men in
that profession in the United States. The
principal session Of that annual meeting was
devoted to an elaborate discussion of plans
FOR the proper treatment of parks of the
city, and the location in the future of the
public buildings. The papers presented
showed the result of careful study on the
part of the distinguished men who took
part in the discussion and the ideas ad-
vanced were along the 1inesof the import
ance of adopting some approved plan.
There has just been submitted to Con-
gress, in pursuance of a law of the last
session, q report from the chief Of engi-
Eeers OF a study of the proper treatment
of the mall by landscape architect Sc
lected for that duty. 1t Is likely that the
interest in this subject, which has thus
been manifested. will produce legislation
that will bring about the ends sought.
Fixing the Responsibility.
One proposition which is the subject Of a
bill recently introduced in Congress is for
the appointment of commission of COM
petent men to report to Congress upon
the proper location of public buildings to
be erected in the future. If that is done,
and the question arises as to the selection
of site for scme proposed structure, and
private interests interpose to the detriment

the judgment Of the experts, and if then a
deviation is made from the plan the re-
sponsibiity will be placed where 1t belongs.
1t is apparent that there Is a growing re-
alization of the possibilities that lie in the
plan of this city for a. beautiful and har-
monious development, and 1t is coming more
and more to be understood that the people
OF this country do not begrudge the ex-
pend1ture of public money that Is used in
the adornment of the nations capital city.
Possible Avenue improvements.
The recent order of a local court direct
ing the sale of the holdings Of the Travers
estate for the, purposesof a division among
the heirs. attracted attention, especially
among those who are Interested in property
on Pennsylvania avenue AS is well known
the large proportion of the realty on the
north side of the avenue from 18th street
to 14th street belongs to that estate, and
the prospect, Of a ehangn in ownership
which a division Of the, property means,
carries with it. the prdspect that some
changes are likely to be made in the char
acter of the improvements. If that proves
to be the case, an important section Of the
avenue will be affected. The changes which
have been made In the character Of the
buildings on this thoreughfare in recent
years have been OF q kind In harmony with
much that iS best In modern commercial
construction, and It Is not likely that there
wiz be any deviation from this policy In

any improvements which may be made In
the Travers property.

diately begin the erection of fifteen two

oe s52,5OO.
The plans present an attractive design
The fronts will be of press brick and carved
stone. Special attention has been paid to
the treatment of the main entrances by Mr.
b. Stanley Simmons, the architect, and
they will be richly carved and massive
The first stories will be trimmed in hard

Display Of Obscene Pictures.

Some days ago complaint was made to the
police that obscene pictures were being dis
played in slot machines in saloons and other
places, and Major Sylvester ordered an in
vestigaton.
Reports received from the police ueuten-
ants showed that there was foundation for
the complaints and the proprietors of the
places where such pictures were found were
notified to take them from the machines.
Reports received at headquarters from the
Heutenants also show that the order Is be-
ing complied with.
Should any obscene pictures be found in
the future the violators Of the law will be
prosecuted.
