The postmasters throughout the
United States have been notified by
the department at Washington that
rates for matter OF the third and fourth
classes are being abused and violated
in such manner as to necessitate a
close examination of packages of pa

through the mails. 1t is violation OF
law to send written matter in pack

and parties who have been practicing
this had best be very careful in the

B. & o. Purchases

The Baltimore and Ohio purchased
several acres OF the Dunlop properly
near Chevy Chase Lake last week. at
$1,000 an acre, and condemned about
one-third Of an acre belonging to
Nicholas Jones, near Rock Creek. Mr.
Jones demanded 5000 of the company
for his land, but the jury summoned
awarded him $500. Experts on values
who were called in were John Simpson.
ST.; NJ. Wilson Offutt. Thomas j. Giles,
and }. V. Stubs. The company is now
entering into contracts aggregating
100000 for the grading OF ITS extension
from Rock Creek to Chevy Chase, and
for the construction Of retaining wals
and other masonry work. While the
railroad representative stated that the
purchases were merely for the purpose
of giving increased freight facilities TO
Chevy Chase. it is argued by those Iiv,
ing along the line that the freight dis
charged there would hardly justify such
an expenditure. The old Baltimore and
Ohio line acquired. about fifteen years
ago. GeorgetOWnwaTd, has been graded
as ar west as Bethesda. Options are
being obtained on property still farther
along the old Metropolitan Southern
route and privileges are being sought in
cident 10 railroad construction. There
are evidences. too, of competitive inter-
ests In the vicinity. The Wabash PEG.
pie are believed TO be watching every
movement Of the Baltimore and Ohio
for the purpose Of acquiring equal or
greater privileges.

Something Doing in Georgetown.

Georgetown is considerably stirred UP
over the prospect OF the early entrance
Of a railroad. Even pronounced skeP-
tics now concede that indications point
TO the betterment of commercial con-
ditfons Merchants are in Correspondence
with BaItfmoreans, believed to be in
position TO know what is going on in
railroad circles. and soon-to-be-realized
hopes are bringing smiles that won't
wear of" Many properties that Were
in the market two months ago, are now
firmly held This is particularly the
fact as to properties lying in that sec
ton where Il is believed the railroad
promoters will center theih interests.
Many strangers have been noticed the
past week on the water front, making
observations. The Milier-Shoemaker
Real Estate Company. il is stated. has
acquired options on properties aggre-
eating in value nearly $750.000. The
officers refuse TO give out particular,
the news of their operations being OBJ
tanned principally from those who have
given the options. UnquestiOnably.
Georgetown is splendidly situated. COM
mercially With river. canal, and rail-
road facilities the oldest section of the
District may be expected to exceed the
most sanguine predictions. She occupies
a splendid vantage point for Southern
connections. A bridge across the river
at any point between Georgetown and
the Chain Bridge would enable the
Wabash 10 connect with the rich coal
fields of West Virginia and with tide
water. the objective goal of the Go ID
interests. II is argued that the Wabash
people have stimulated the Baltimore
and Ohio. and the competitive tactics
of these two great lines must work TO
the advancement of Georgetown. II has
been generally suspected in the West
End that the Great Falls and Old Do
minion promoters represented other than
electric interests. and It is thought not
at all improbable that the Old Do
minion may in the near future cohsti-
tute the connecting link Of steam in
terests. The rails that are being laid
are of the most substantial character,
capable Of carrying steam rolling stock.
Such influence as is behind il and such
energy as is being disph yed in getting
d cross-town connection would hardly
alone.

sewer and water main facilities. At
present this section is practically de-
prived of these facilities, and IN conse-
quence. private buildings cannot be con-
structed with sanitary improvements,
sSch as bathrooms and water-closets,
without much inconvenience to the
property owners.
Needs Provided For.
After extended conferences with the
Engineer Commissioner of the District
10 remedy this evil. the Commissioners
have prepared bilf covering the needs
in this respect. and this bill has been
introduced in Congress at this session.
Ii has passed the Senate as bill 1928,
and has recently been favorably report
ed on by the House committee and is
nov on the calendar. and we expect
and have every assurance from the
House District Committee that it will
pass this session. When this bill be-
comes a law It will enable the Commits
sioners to construct water mains and
service sewers through the agricultural
and unsubdivided property to connect
with property that has been subdivided
and ready for private development.
This sewerage plan is for service sew
erage only and does not provide for
drainage sewerage or rain water. which
would require a larger sewer. There is
no demand on the part Of our property
owners for sewer facilities to carry off
the surface water. but there is an
urgent demand for service sewers TO
accommodate private houses. These
sewers can be constructed at very
moderate cost and in much shorter time
than trunk sewers, and viii enable
property owners TO get the benefit Of
these improvements in a short time
When this is done ] am confident that
thousands OF dollars will be expended
in the erection OF hosIses on subdivided
property which viii be readily sold and
rented. as there is great demand among
the people Of the District for com ort-
able suburban homes. Our people are
greatly indebted TO the Commissic ners
for their interest and efforts in secur-
ing this legislation. which we have
every reason TO believe Will be an ac-
complished fact before this Congress
adiourns.

Novel Features in Dwellings.

Ground has just been broken for a
row of six houses on Nineteenth Street
between 5 and T. 10 be built for David
son & Davidson from plans prepared by
Wood, Dom & Dcming. architects
These houses viii present q number Of
new and important features which can
not prove otherwise than interesting to
all who have made a study of architect
ural detail as applied in private dwell
ings. IN the first place. there is a new
departure in the width given to the
fronts. which is twenty-six feet and six
inches for each house. Another novel
arrangement IS the ornamental iron
gate which separates the houses one
from the other and this. together with
placing the recessed light court-in the
front instead Of the rear. as is usual,
causes each house 10 stand separate and
alone. thereby attaining an individuality
not otherwise to be had in q row Of
houses. This arrangement also gives the
middle room on each floor a. outlook to
the street instead of 10 the back yard, as
is ordinarily the case, and besides it
does away with the generally dark and
crafty reception hall. The arrange
ment further enables the architect TO
get a larger dining room tlstn otherwise
would be economically possible. and
gives passage from kitchen TO front door
without compelling the servant to 90
through the dining or the middle room.

"Two-Flat'' Apartment Houses.

In the matter OF building the most
notable feature is the growing popu-
larity 10 investors of ''two-hat'' apart
ment houses. In some sections Of the
city these structures are taking the
place which one or two years ago would
have been usurped bv the more pre-
tentious six and sever story edifices.
The reason for the rapid Increase in this
class Of buildings Is 10 be found I'm the
fact that they cost a great deal less. are
more readily kept in repair and are so
greatly i'm demand BY people who can
not afOrd 10 pay high rents that they
are engaged as quickly as they are com
pleted, and frequently even while they
are still under construction. Until re-
Gently this kind Of apartment houses
was almost exclusively reared in parts
OF the city where the ground was not
expensive. and where renters would not
expect great elegance Of finish; but Of
late they have begun TO invade the
more fashionable residential sections
where they are supplied with ali the
elegance and cOnveniences to be found
in the structures that belong TO the sky
seraper class.

Handsome Interiors.

The interior arrangement IS also de-
serving Of special mention. All bed
rooms on each floor are communicating.
On the second floor there is a bath for
the family and on the third floor one for
the guests of the house. Another bath
is provided for the servants. whose
rooms are cut on from the other rooms
on the third floor. The parlors win be
