outcry Against High Rents.

II lisa noteworthy circumstance. to be
mentioned in passing. that the real es-
tate agents hear the most grumbling
about high rents from the very class Of
people who may be said to be most re-
sponsible for causing them TO be high
the mechanics. Brickmasons, carpen-
tiers. plumbers and all the others whose
high rents, and yet is the high price ex-
acted by them for their labor that
necessarily compels the owner OF a
house to raise the rent. High wages are,
no doubt. a good thing, but they have
their compensating disadvantages as
even those find who get them.

improvement Deals Pending.

Several important real estate deals
are pending. None of these, however
has yet reached that stage in which the
interested parties are willing to have
their plans made known. Nearly all Of
these prospective transactions involve
the erection of more or less pretentious
buildings, mostly of the apartment house
type. Thus, for instance, New York cap
italists are negotiating for ground IN
the fashionable section of the city,
where they intend to put up one or
more apartment houses of such ele-
gance, though. perhaps. not of such d.
mansions, as to put even Stoneleigh Court
far in the shade. The apartments in
these houses are to contain something
like twelve rooms, and are TO be fur
nished with every convenience that mod
ern ingenuity can devise TO make the
duties Of the housekeeper as little bur-
densome as possible. Both in exterior
and interior adornment they are to sur
pass everything thus far attempted in
the District.

and the contract for the construction

begun before the close of the current
month The new church is to cost $780,
900. The lot on which il is to stand is
77x100 feet, and will be covered entirely
by the church and the Sunday school

church will be from North Capitol
Street through a triple colonnade en-
trance into a large vestibule. and thence
through large glass swinging doors into
the auditorium. The pastors study will
be entered from r Street. and from here
there will be access to the pulpit. The
organ loft and choir Will be to the left
of the pulpit The auditorium Will be
5ox77 feet, and the Sunday school room
46xT7. 1t is estimated that both to-
gether will seat about LOO people.

Rents are high; higher than they have
ever been known to be here, and pro-
portionately the prices for the smaller
houses are the highest. It is a fact
that on a certain street there are two
houses, close together. one of two
stories, the other of three, both pre-
senting a pleasing exterior: yet, though
the one contains at least four rooms
more than the other. the rent is only s.
more a month. The reason for this
small difference in the rental price, and
for the further fact that even at this
figure the larger houses stand vacant
for months, is to be found in the aver
sion Of the average housewife to climb
stairs. Besides. in a smaller house the
conveniences are more compact and
give the housekeeper less trouble.

The Washington times., 1903-10-04
Opening of Aibemarle Street.

An event which may have an impor-
tant bearing upon the development Of
certain properties in the northwestern
section OF the District is the donation
to the District, by Louis P. Shoemaker,
OF a sufficient amount of land to con-
tinue Albemarle Street from Connecti-
cut Avenue extended to Rock Creek
Park through the big Shoemaker tract.
Incidentally. 1t is OF interest to know
that this is the first time this tract.
which has been in the Shoemaker fam
lily uninterruptedly for u century, has
been cut, or any portion OF IL diverted
TO any use other than occupation by its
owners.
The opening of Albemarle Street
through this tract must be regarded as
of no little Importance in the future
OF the territory which IL will traverse.
Some years ago overtures were made to
Mr.. Shoemaker 10 do what he has done
Just now, but for reasons sufficient to
himself he declined. II Is more than
probable that the District will take i'm
mediate advantage or the opportunity TO
establish a convenient connection be-
tween two rapidly growing sections OF
the city, all the more as &c will afford
the only line OF direct communication
between them
