Brookland may be regarded as one OF
the most striking proofs OF the great
Weakening OF suburban Northeast Wash
ington- A few years ago the section
Of the District now known as
Brookland, South Broolland, Langdon.
and Woodbridge. was practically unset
tied There were few struggling
houses here and there. and one or two
attractive country places" but tha
streets and avenues were ungraded. ana
the whole territory was as little like tile
thriving subdivisions OF today as the
Washington of 1906 was like the Wash
ington OF today.
The change that has been wrought in
the Brookland vicinity is no less re-
marlkable than the continuation OF this
growth. Many attractive homes are
being erected today, and the real estate
dealers who handle property In that sec
ton OF the district find that the demand
IS constantly increasing.

CONNECTICUT AVENUE HIGHLANDS
WILL BE A POPULAR SUBURB

To persons who consider only the pres
ent many expenditures for public i'm
provements often seem i'll advised, or
extravagant. The initial cost seems so
largely. proportionately. to the immed-
late benefit Fortunately this class Of
people is in the hopeless minority. other
wise there would be but little advance
meat in any community. 1t IS the ulti-
mate end which justihes all legitimate
means and it IS this consideration which
has weight with the men OF affairs.
There is no better instance Of this fact
than a notable public Improvement
which is now nearing completion in the
District. The sum expended in the con-
struction OF the Connecticut avenue
bridge might have seemed unusually
large at first but when the increase in
value of real estate beyond that point
IS considered 1t becomes not merely a
public good as a convenience to a num-
Der Of people, but Will eventually prove
a financial success by increasing the
taxable value Of property TO a remark
able degree. This tendency is even now
quite apparent.
Besides the well established suburban
properties that are prohting by this
closer connection with the central part
of Washington. this bridge has caused
other subdivisions to be placed upon the
market. One Of these is Connecticut
Avenue Highlands. one Of the most at
tractive localities for A suburban home
IN the entire Vicinity OF Washington.
Location Of the Highlands.
Connecticut Avenue Highlands is To-
Gated on Connecticut avenue. one of the
most fashionable thoroughfares Of the
District. 1t is on one of the best car
lines Of the city, an excellent service IS
afforded. and only one fare is required
70 take the passenger TO any part Of the

Clear spring water is 70 be had on the
premises, and the streets have been laid
out on an ample scale, looking toward
the future development OF the prop
erty.
Lots are being sold in this division
on such terms as 10 place them within
easy reach Of the average wage-earner
and the Government clerk with q mod
crate salary. The suburb Is chiefly de-
signed 10 meet the needs Of these
classes. which form such q large pOr-
tiOu OF the city's population.
A great advantage which this sub
division has over property more remote
from the business center, IS that only
one fare on the electric railway IS re-
duired TO carry the suburbanite from his
Maryland Park home 10 any part OF the
District
This new subdivision IS another proof
of the fact the suburbs OF the North
east have just entered upon an era
OF great prosperity.

west, is bounded by Cleveland Park. The
Highlands has an elevation OF $50 feat.
and it overlooks Rock Creek Park, one
Of the most picturesque tracts in the
whole country.
The driveways through this park are
surprisingly beautiful in the spring and
autumn, and hundreds OF persons daily
pass to and fro along its winding road
ways
While the natural advantages of Con-
necucut Avenue Highlands are many. II
has not been left for nature TO do all
the work in making this a highly deslr-
able suburb For some time past men
have been at work on the subdivision,
grading the streets. and extensive plans
have been formulated whereby all parts

or the subdivision will have the advan-
tages OF sewerage, water. and grano-
hthic sidewalks. AS these irnprovem ants
are being made by the original owners
or the tract and not by the individuals
who purchase lots. there IS a 6oubly
strong inducement TO secure property in
this section. which is destined TO become
so popular within the next twelve
months.
Several handsome homes have already
been erected, and plans for others have
been secured.
