VALUABLE REALTY SOLD.
Property on II Street Between 14th
and 18th Streets in New Hands,

The property on the north side of H
street northwest between 14th and 18th
streets. known as the old Kennedy prop
erty was sold yesterday for 100000 in
four lots to Stilson Hutchins. Edward and
Carl Droop. David kaufman and Sterling
and Norman Gait. Negotiations for the
sale were begun last June and the last
hitch overcome yesterday. The trade was
made through Messrs. Kirkpatrick & Brad
ford and Upton H. Ridenour of the r. o.
Holtzman Company.
The property has frontage of 9351 feet
on H street and a depth of $50 feet to
twenty-foot alley. 1t contains 1927 square
feet, and the price paid was about $3.50
square foot. which is considered to be en-
tirely for the land, as the old house on the
property has been vacant and out of repair
for many years and will be torn down. Mr..
Hutchins secures the lot on the east near
est 14th street, numbered 45, the Droops
the second lot, Mr.. Kaufman the third and
the Galts the weSternmost lot which Is
next to other propery owned by them on
the same street. The four lots are Of the
same frontage and square contents.
The property has been in the Kennedy
family for a great many years, and at one
time the house was one of the handsomest
on II street. 1t was occupied at one time
by the Chinese legation, and prominent
Washington families have lived in it at
various periods in it's history.
The lot purchased by Messrs. Sterling and
Norman Gait adioins their old home, 1909
H street, making their frontage on H street
over fifty feet.
1t is the plan of the Droops to build on
their lot large music house, with music
hall on an upper floor. Plans have been
considered, and it Is understood that they
will be carried out at once. Offers have
been made by business men to occupy on
long leases the first floors of the buildings
on two of the other lots. and it is under
stood to be probable that both these build
ings will be erected. One of the owners
has been made an offer for his lot at an ad-
vance of 80 cents a square foot but it is
understood that he will not accept it.

clities on the 9th street line, and Mr.. Syme
replied that the citizens of Brightwood and
vicinity have fought, begged and prayed
for better service on the 9th street line, but
without success"
Mr. T. v. Powderly agreed with Mr.. Syme
that the conditions on the Brightwood road
at present are very unsatisfactory. He
stated that the cars on that road are con-
stantly crowded, not only during the morn
ing and evening hours, when suburban resi-
dents are going to and from the city, but
also at other times during the day. Many
persons, he said, who desired to go to the
cemeteries along the line of the road realize
the great inconvenience of inadquate car
service.
The chaplain of the Soldiers Home stated
to the Commissioners that the car service at
present on the Brightwood line is not only
exceedingly unsatisfactory. but ''disgraceful
as we'll" He urged that the Commissioners
recommend the extension proposed by the
Brightwood citizens.

extension were Messrs. A. Guide. Nathaniel
