Residences for Diplomats.
A plan of considerable interest has been
suggested by Early & hampton, the real
estate brokers, by which 1t will be posSi-
BILE for a number of the representatives Of
foreign governments in this city to own
homes in their own names. The attention
of some of the diplomats has been called
to the matter, and II is probable they will
lend their cooperation, SO that In the
near future the plan In whole or In part
can be carried through. The purpose is
to buy an entire square in good resi-
dence locality and erect there residences
suitable for the purposes intended. A
house will be built according to plans
which shall meet with the approval of
the intended occupant, and when the
building is completed it can be transferred
ON such terms that the total annual out
lay will not be more than the allowance
provided by the respective governments
for rented quarters
At the same time payments can be
