Apartments or Houses.
OF course. the amount of building to be
done Will be regulated to a large extent
by the ease with which loans to builders
are paid off. The freeing of the money now
put in that form of investment will be
available for use in other directions. and
until this latter question is decided ii will
be impossible for those who control large
sums of money to determine TO what ex-
tent they will be able to provide funds for
building operations
Last season the bulk of the money put
in builders loans went into apartment
houses. and 1t is uncertain whether this
kind Of building will be continued during
the coming season. In the opinion of some

plan OF the company to supply houses for
these who may be employed in the works
but there Is no doubt that as soon as the
market is assured there will be no trouble
about getting persons to invest money in
providing homes in that locality
There is abundance of available land In
the vicinity, and owing to the selection Of
the site for the steel plant the owners have
found that 1t has come very suddenly and
unexpectedly into the market. Some trans
actions have already been made In the way
of options on land and when the plans OF
the manufacturing concern are sufficiently
advanced to be generally known then 1t
may be expected that the surrounding prop
erty will be more affected than 1t is at
present.
The 14th Street Extension.

have donated the ground for the ninety
foot street (F1merson1 to run east from
10th street to 7th. This will be not

ed this year any more than the Q street
bridge project has been taken up again.
1t is likely that before the session closes
something Of the sort will be attempted,
for stated the need is pressing one
One of the objections to the tunnel scheme
lies in the fact that it would take several
years before the scheme could be carried
out and in the meanwhile the present APP
proaches would have to be used But even
If there was no delay on that score there
would still be opposition to this plan,
which comes mainly from those who are
opposed to sacrificing what they regard as
an unusual opportunity to secure for the
establishment of the city picturesque
wooded ravlne.
What is Done in Edinboro.
1t does not look very picturesque or at
tractive just now. but those who favor such
a project point to the Rock creek ravine
north of the street bridge and especially
the section north of the street railway
bridge as an Illustration of what can be
done in providing In the midst of a densely
bult-up city a place where the beauty
and the wildness of nature can be preserved
for the delight and refreshment of all.
Mr.. ]. c. Hornblower, who is member
of the recently-formed society for the
adornment of Washington, as well as
longtime student of the development OF
the city, thinks that the possibilities OF the
Rock creek ravine equally as great as
those which are developed In the surround
ings of a stream about the size OF ROCK
creek that passes through the busiest sec
ton of Marlborough. The principal business
street there for q portion of the way fronts
on this scene of rustic beauty and there are
also residences which line 1t. But at any
rate 1t is the beauty spot OF the city ana
Mr.. Hornblower, who has often seen 1t, says
there Is no doubt Rock creek can De mace
equally attractive, unless this opportunity
is let slip and the gorge of the creek hlled

Prospects Of the Coming Season.
The plans for the coming season, as far as
building operations are concerned, are not
sufficiently matured as yet to give any
definite idea Of the extent to which work of
this sort is going on during the coming
months There are several apartment
houses which are being finished up and will
be ready for use perhaps too late to secure
tenants, at least to any extent, before the
summer vacation. = and there are also
houses which are in various stages Of prog
ress with the prospect of being ready with
| in the opening season. The character Of the
| market will. of course, be determined to
some extent by the volume of the building
| that will be undertaken during the coming
months.
1t will. of course. be important to know
| whether the demand for house accommo-
| dations In the form Of apartments or OF in
divfdual houses has been supplied, and
with such information as exact as possible

doubt contributes something to this end for
instead of making contracts for the differ
ent portions of the work he buys the ma
terials the iron, marble and brick, and en-
ploys men to put them IN place The same
system is being followed In the construc-
ton of the office building for the use of the
Senate, which occupies the corresponding
square on the north side of the Capitol
grounds.
The Rock Creek Problem.
Although there has been no revival as
yet of the efforts begun last year to i'm
prove the means of communication between
this city and Georgetown. or, more proper
ly speaking, between those portions of the
city that are separated by Rock creek, still
the need for something of the sort Is not
only as imperative as 1t was last year, but
it has gained in that respect
1t seems that each year, as the popuia-
ton grows the congestion at the bridges
which are now provided naturally increases.
and the pressure upon the area that has no
direct outlet is, of course, greater each
year
There is no question that bridge over
the creek at Q street would contribute to
the public convenience and is something
that is acknowledged ought to be done.
This was brought out clearly and impress
sively last year by a committee of ladies,
led by Miss Rittenhouse, who. with her ex-
pSiiSASS VI ilS COElHeO 1idliily 10 q re-
fined social and personal circle, had about
as little an idea of what was required to
get a measure through Congress. or even
In place where there was a reasonable
likelihood of It's receiving even the atten-
ton of that august body, as she had about
the methods of flying.
The Advocates of Tunnel
However. she lived in Georgetown and
knew the need that existed for bridge and
also for park, and she put her heart IN
II. and so when she came in contact with
the men at the Capitol they realized that
she was not the ordinary petitioner for
congressional favor They heard her story
and those who came with her. and good
progress was made, but the bill did not be-
come a law.
AT the same time this measure was up
Tor consideration another plan was being
advocated which. while not antagonistic in
the sense that its indorsers opposed the
bridge project. yet 1t was In the sense that
| II that scheme was carried out there would
be no need of bridge at Q or at any other
point for there would be no Rock creek.
