About Business PROPERTY.

One of the recent features Of the realty
market has been the transactions In prom
erty in the business section. OF the leading
deals OF that character three had to do with
G street property which no doubt Il is said
VIII have the effect of directing attention
toward the opportunities on that street for
investment
Inc recent purchases to some extent an
pear 10 have been of that character Fol.
towing the sac of the northwest corner uf
18TH ana u streets at something less than
40 per square foot was the sale of the on
poslte corner. which has about similar di-
mensions. and the price which is said to
nave Oeen agreed upon in the transaction
was about the same.
sale was also made of the pronertS ~,
l3th street through Early & hampton real
estate brokers', and the considerattop in
that case amounted to about slI ner snuara
foot. P Sf"''to
During the week also some of the WIN
ooWs In the old residence at the corner Of
lith ana r streets were taken out and thor
preparations made for the tearing down Of
that structure. On the site is to be erected
a modern office building
Another new building for office purnoses
has just been completed during the week
on the block adjoining to the west. The
hrst occupant of the building the Columbia
Fire insurance Company, took possession
of commodious offices on the first floor The
new structure, which is a handsome addi-
ton to that section of the CITY, was erected
by Mr.. Henry A. Willard and forms a part
of the extensive holdings which he has i'm

WANTS BETTER LIGHTING.
Street Corners Said to Be Shrowded in
Darkness at Night

Theodore J. Myers of the w. NJ. Gait
Company LIST street and Indiana avenue
northwest. in a letter to the Commissioners
yesterday calls attention to the INSULT
cient lighting of the northeast and south
east corners of I'd street and Pennsylvania
avenue southeast. declared that unless the
present bad condition is quickly remedied
some one Is going to meet with fatal
accident at that point. There is no lamp
post at the corners In question, he stated.
and there is always a great deal of traffic
over the street both night and day.
Mr. Myers in his letter of complaint
stated that he was returning to his home
several nights ago and was nearly run
down by horse and wagon at the corners
in question on account of the darkness.
He declared that he could not see the ap-
preaching vehicle. and that the driver of
the latter informed him that he was unable
to distinguish anything in his path
When the matter was referred to W. c.
Allen, the electrical engineer of the Dis
trct, he informed the Commiss. oners that
the corners complained of by Mr.. Myers
are at present adequately lighted.
He said the southeast corner is brilliantly
Illuminated by an electric lamp situated
directly across the street, about forty feet
from the curb, and that the northeast cor
ner is .Hgnted by cluster or four mean
descent lamps on one of the ornamental
posts in the coping surrounding the Con-
gressional Library and that there are two
gas lamps within a short distance from the
two corners.
In speaking of Mr.. Myers complaint about
the insufficient lighting at this point he
said: Il do not think the circumstances
warrant the placing of an additional lamp
at either Of these corners. and / would rec
ommend that Mr.. Myers be informed to
that effect"

large area pouring through the place.
Attention was called to the police regula-
ton forbidding the wearing OF overcoats by
the officers during this season of the year.
Many of the men, IT was stated. suffer Sc
verely these cold nights. The matter was
referred to the committee on police, fire and
lights.
Communications from the Commissioners
advising the association that its request for
the improvement Of Maryland avenue and
other streets in the northeast cannot at this
time be complied with were read by the
secretary.
The association having succeeded. it was
stated. after twelve years hard work. in Sc
curing the opening Of NJ street to its inter-
section with the Bladersburg road it has
decided to begin a campaign for the extern
sion Of Maryland avenue and the opening
Of 18th street from Benning road to the
Bladensburg road.
The election of officers for the ensuing
term of six months resulted as follows:
President. William H. Ernest; first vice
president. Charles r. Talbert; second vice
president, H. A. Kane: third vice president,
John A. Rupert; fourth vice president,

could sell at any time for much more than
they have paid.
Real estate men are always ready to
make concessions to those who will build
at once. Sometimes they will give lots
at half price give deed for the lots
on personal note or take a second mort
gage. or they will advance most Of the
money for building assist buyers to be-
come members of building and loan associa-
tons. There are many safe and legitimate
ways of securing home and escaping the
almost intolerable conditions of cliff dwell
ing and rent paying in the crowded. I'M
healthful, nerve-racking, demoralizing city.
Where there's a will, there's way With
foresight courage, determination and per-
severance. emancipation is possible for tens
of thousands who now suffer submissively
or chafe hopelessly.'
Another contributor seeks to give some
advice as we'll as information to the inquir-
ing home-seeker. He says:
"'Flat Dweller' by his own admission
puts himself in the class of people who
will always be improvident and down at
the heel. To begin with he says that

is not good enough for him. and he wants
one to cost 5000. Now, what right has
a man who can earn only $40, the amount
of salary he says he receives, to demand
a $4,000 house to live in? There are many
men in this broad land who have ten times
$40 a year who do not live in houses cost
ing $4,000. Flat Dweller' very evidently
belongs to the foolishly ambitious kind of
poor people who want to make show
that cannot be made good.

a year should be content with house cost
ing less than $500. Again, he wants
good lot, Of easy access to the city. He
cannot get 1t for $500, of course, but why
should he be asking so much and he only
earning $40 year? Why doesn't he fit
his tastes and notions to his salary?
'The trouble with the great majority of
our people is that they have dollar Ideas
with dime incomes. and no inclination or
ability to make the larger conform to the
smaller
Homes are pretty much like everything
else In this world-the man who wants one
with his whole spirit will get it. Perhaps
not just what he wants. but a home, a
place that is his and shelter against all
the winds of adverse fortune. There are
thousands Of people in the United States
who have good homes who had less to begin
on than Flat Dweller' has. But they did
not get them by easy methods nor by wish
ing for them instead Of working for them
IF Flat Dweller' really wants a home
he will begin on anything he can find and
pay for 1t by the kind of economy that
pays. Then he will have foundation to
work on, and II he is not satisfied with
the size of his home it's location he can
trade 1t for something better making up
the difference by the practice of little
further economy. 1t is much easier in
every way for a man owning even a 81 500
house to secure a 5000 one than it is for
the man with none at all to do so.
Nor is 1t the mere money value that Is
taken into the count-it is the man him.
self who under adverse circumstances has
secured the s., 800 house. The fact that he
has made and paid for home for himself
and family Is an evidence of character and
thrift which inspires confidence in him and
gives him credit. Such a man with $40 a
year is far safer business risk than a

PURCHASING A HOME
AN-INQUIRER rs INFORMED JUST
HOW TO PROCEED.

The discussion of the question of how
persons of small means may obtain a home
is one that is by no means confined to
this city. Here. where home-buying is so
general and where the facilities are so ex-
cellent. there is good deal of general in
formation as to how it can be done. In
a recent issue of the New York Sun the
writer of a communication wants to know
how a man with income of $40 can buy
home, Or at least, make beginning.
The inquiry elected number of responses,
apparently from persons who spoke from
experience. and the general principles which
the discussion brought out applies equally
as we'll to this city and it's suburbs as it
does to New York or to any other city.
Views of One Writer.
One writer observes:
Flat Dweller' asks some very pertinent
questions which ought to interest every
city tenant of the great middle class. His
problem is practically how to own his home
on a salary of $40 year. This is no
easy task, but 1t can be done. With econ

a reasonable time pay for his home Three
of my nearest neighbors on salaries con-
siderably less than $1,000. are paying for
their homes through building and loan as

and in a few years they will have their
homes paid for on rent money and be toll

one sees houses that seem out of place
under the sunny skies and amid the al
most southern luxurience that proclaims
the latitude of this city. The stern walls
of masonry with design to meet the on
slaughts Of northern blasts, with sheltered
openings to shut out rather than welcome
the breezes, is neither good architecture
nor is it calculated to contribute to the
comfort of the occupants of the house.
There are. of course other considerations
which point to the advantages of having
for the architect of ones house or build
ing man who is acquainted with local
conditions but it is quite evident that from
the standpoint alone of the climate such
an adviser would enable the prospective
builder to avoid unnecessary and costly
errors.

Permanent Market.

The opportunity for investment of a SUBJ
stantial character which houses of that
sort afford is looked upon as extremely
promising, not only because of the present
demand but for the reason that experience
has shown that such demand Is apt to be
more permanent than most any other in the
realty market.
In the first place, the class of people

They are numerically more numerous be-
cause they the great army of those
who have moderate incomes. Houses of
this sort, well built and rented to careful
and Industrious tenants, require but little
