Interest on the Increase
Among Owners
and Agents.
MANY INQUIRIES MADE
Rapid Increase in Values.
Enormous Prices Recent
ly Paid for Property.

Much interest is developing among real
estate brokers. as TO the future OF the
land lying in The immediate vicinity of
the new Union Station. especially such
parcels as are thought In be suitable
for hotel purposes. 1t is well known
that inquiries from other towns regard
ing such sites have been quite frequen,
within the past six months. tt Is but
natural. therefore. that ground avail
able for hotel uses has rapidly advanced
in price and is held stnIy by its own
ers. Four and I'VE dollars The square
foot is by no means an unusual figure
for land along the line of Massachusetts
and Delaware Avenues, and the inter
secting streets that viii radiate from
the plaza I'm front of the station.
Ii is argued that Washingtou's expert
ence in this respect VIII parallel that of
other large cities. both i'm Ihis c1uu-
try and i'm Europe where many of the
largest and best hotels are situated in
the immediate environments of the big
stations. Conditions here, 1t is asserted,
viii be even more propiti0us for such
enterprises, because of the fact that
the stream of travellers viii not be die

as Is naturally the case where the rail
way stations are scattered. but viii be

Good Business For Hotels.
While, of course. many viii seek the

ranged, giving modern, though perhaps
not luxurious, accommodations, at rea-
sonable prices Will so it is declared
by those who have studied the question
do large and profitable business.
Another feature contemplated by real
estate owners in that vicinity and by
their agents is the erection OF stores
either as part of the different hotels or
independent of these. IL Is believed that
great emporiums could be made 20 pay
handsome profits The goods TO be of
