Now my plan is to go way out be

Twenty millions would not be an
extravagant figure in stating how
much money has been made in the
increase of land values in Washing
ton northwest, in the direct line OF
I4th street.
Only quarter of century ago
whole miles of land that is now COW
cred with valuable residences were
vacant lots and considered almost
valueless.
Mr.. Levi c. Woodbury. of the St.
James Hotel was telling me one day
as we drove down town from his
beautiful home in Iowa Circle how
he shot jack rabbits in Dupont Cir
Gle twenty years ago, and every in
telligent Washingtonian knows
dozen stories of people who bought
piece Of property-possibly just one
building lot-fve or ten or fifteen
years ago for song, and now find
their property worth five or ten or
fifteen ds-sometimes fifty
thousand.
'Buy and build in the Northwest"
is the universal advice of those who
know Washington.
A Bankers Views.
The northwest is the inevitable
place Of real estate expansion and
Development said William Selby of
the Citizens Bank, as he stood on
the front steps Of his home at 1878
18th street, where there is only a
block or two Of houses between him
self and the open country, and where
ten years ago there wasn't house.
Here's the healthiest part OF
Washington, lifted as it is far above
the alleged malaria and the diph-
thereto dampness. Here property
grows more valuable every year, and
il / were to advise buying l would
say go out beyond us here and make
your investment, where you can get
land at not too high a price. Land
out here in the northwest is abso-
lutely certain to double and treble in
value."

tons about the expense of building,
questions Mr.. Gordon can answer
ten minute, for he is loaded with
facts, figures and enthusiasm about
the new property he is handling and
has made deep study of the great
question OF suburban development
and home building.
MIR. Gordon is pretty busy these
days. People are waiting their turn at
his office to get particulars about
North Columbia Heights and buying
up the lots SO fast he hardly expects
them to last till April.
He called my attention to the fol-
lowing item from The Star of FRI
day:
The Commissioners and the
Street Cars.
"The Commissioners declare that
the proposed extension of I4th street
is one of the most important highway
improvements projected in the Dis
trict, because they believe the Sec
ton through which it passes would
be Immediately built up. 1t is stated
that as soon as the street is opened
the I4th street car line will be ex-
tended and attention is called to the
fact that this will give easy access
to the proposed municipal hospital
at the head of 18th street."
Here are several other important
items pertaining to North Columbia
Heights:
Values Judged by Building Asso.
ciation Loans.
One Of our largest city building as
sociations loaned 24c. square foot
this week to one of our lot purcfas-
ers on lot sold for 35c. 1t is an
irorclad rule with loan associations
to never loan over two-thirds of the
cash value of any property, and they
employed the best Judges of real es-
tate values to make their loans. This
is the best evidence that we are SELL
ing our lots at their lowest cash
value, even though we sell them on
easy payments.
Prices, Terms and Size of Lots.
Prices, 80 to $50. a square foot
for $50 lots, the remaining lots being
reserved for city prices-$I.5o to
$3.50 square foot. Lots 25 to 100
feet front by Is to $50 feet deep to
I5-foot alleys.
Terms, $50 to $Ioo cash and
SIS to SEQ monthly on each lot, or
one-third cash. balance I, 2 and 3
years, 5 per cent off for cash.
Money loaned to build at lowest
rates Of interest.
Carriage free to see the property.
