Montgomery County Democrats Want
Him Elected United States Senator.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Ahcut 13O democrats from different sec
tions of Montgomery county attended a
ne citing in the opera house here this after
noon in the interest of the candidacy of
Is,dor Rayner for the United States Senate.
The attendance was disappointing to Mr..
Rayner's friends here, as the meeting had
been extensively advertised, and very
lsI &c turnout was expected. 1t is asserted,
however, that the movement did not reflect
the sentiment of the county on the senator
ship.
The gathering was called to order by Mr..
John w. Williams, who was elected last
month to represent the county In the house
OF delegates. Messrs. Edward c. Peter and

gathering. He moInted the platform amid
applause and addressed the assemblage,
reading from manuscript. HIS remarks were
largely a contention that the members of
the Legislature should obey the voice of the
people intimating that he believed the
people were for him. He stated that an
erroneous impression had gone out that he
was opposed to the party organization In
the state. He added that such is not the
case, as many of his warmest supporters
and friends IN the senatorial contest are
active organization democrats.

Widening 14th Street.

The paving of 14th street north or Whit-
ney avenue, which is going on, Involves
also a change in the width of that street
at that point which will also affect the
further continuation. 1t has probably not
been noticed by people generally that at
Florida avenue the width of the street as 1t
stretches northward is less than is that OF
the portion to the south. The difference IN
space between building line and building
line north and south Of Florida avenue IS
no less than thirty feet.
When the street was opened, good many
years ago. or at least when the land border
ing it north of Florida avenue was sub
divided, there was not the same liberality
shown in the assignment of land for street
purposes was the case when the old city
portion was laid out, over hundred years
ago. The new part was given width of
eighty feet, while the section within the
old limits of the city is 10 feet.

REAL ESTATE GOSSIP
Investment Buying a Feature
of the Market.
AS INCOME PRODUCER
PLAN ADOPTED FOR NORTHWARD
EXTENSION OF 14TH STREET.
A Thoroughfare Planned That Will
Ultimately Extend to Brightwood-
Other Matters of Interest.

Investment buying which has been the
feature of the real estate market for some
time and which has. in fact. included prac-
tically all the transactions which have been
made during the period when the aggregate
of business done has been comparatively
limited, was illustrated by the purchase
during the past week of the old West End
Bank building on G street between 14th and
10Th streets. The new owner is not un-
familiar with business property in this city.
and it is evident his experience has led him
to take a favorable view of the returns
which come from that class of realty.
Some of the Current Gossip.
1t is not expected that the sluggishness
in the market will continue for an indefinite
period, and while there is not much in the
way of new business to engross the atten-
ton of brokers and investors, yet there Is
a good deal of talk of plans to be carried
out in the future. Some of this talk is apt
to float into more definite shape than the
originators of the ideas intended. but that
is due to the natural increase Which nap,
pens when story passes along by Woro
of mouth.
In this sort of fashion statements nave
been in circulation recently to the eHect
that a large hotel had been projected 10
be erected on Connecticut avenue noIlh ol 3l
the Stoneleigh apartment house. But II
appears that no effort has yet been MADE 10
secure the property mentioned or to even
see if it could be bought within what Woulu
be considered the market price. II is pc
lieved this kind of talk is like that Whlch
goes the rounds occasionally about the
erection of another theater. From the pest
informa ton that can be OBTAINED, tileie
seems to be no immediate prospect that
either of the enterprises mentioned Will pe

The Plan Adopted.

In the continuation of this street beyond
Whitney avenue an effort has been made
to correct this defect and to at least re-
store the original width along the new
section. North of Park street, and on the
first block on the west side, there Is a row
of buildings, and in order to avoid the ex-
pense which would be involved in con-
demning the property it has been decided
to take the additional thirty feet needed
from the east sde where there are no i'm
provements that would be interfered with.
AT the same time it was the desire to avoid
as much as possible disfiguring the street
by having an unsghtly jog of undue size.
Mr. w. P. Richards, the engineer in
charge of street extensions. is carrying out
a plan which it is believed will accomplish
this purpose. The line of the curb on both
sides is to begin for the new portion as
far south as Kenyon street. so that the
roadway will follow straight lines from
that point and where the deviation occurs
on the south side of Kenyon street there is
to be a slight curve made in the line of the
curbins. which will have the effect of MAX
ing the change and cause it to be very little
noticed.

Roadway Lines Preserved.


People using the roadway will hardly per-
ceive the change as the lines will be prac-
tically continuous. The parking space or
the interval between the houses and the
curb will of course be greater on the east
side then on the west side but farther north
in the vicinity of Lydecker avenue this DIFF
ference will not exist, as it Is the intention
to have an equal space on both sides of the
street which will be accomplished when the
land comes to be subdivided. North Of
Sheridan avenue 1t may be necessary after
a while to condemn some of the land on the
west side for the width of the street.
The work that is now being done is set
ting the curb back between Kenyon street
and Whitney avenue on the east side and
laying an asphalt pavement as far north
as the vicinity of Sheridan avenue.
