streets have in some instances been curved
or otherwise altered, and In few cases
brought to an end. There is also to be a
shifting in the lines of the street railway
systems and the building of new tracks, if
the permission of Congress Is obtained, so
that while for the public at large the shift
ing of the lines will be mainly confined to
the cars themselves, still the alterations
made in the existing systems on account of
the new center will be both extensive and
important.
Then the question that after all Is the
one that Is studied the most carefully by
those who are interested in property,
is what effect is all this going to have on
property not so much in the immediate
vicinity of the station, but at some dis

In all, the portion designated comprises
about 100 acres. and it will form a part of

this section Is really to complete the park

liarly adapted for such uses. and owing to
its nearness to what is rapidly becoming a

INCREASE IN POPULATION.
Houses and Apartments Are Well DC
cupied

The estimates of population Of the city.
based upon the returns procured for the
edition of the city directory for the coming
year. are interesting to men who are en-
gagged In building or In the buying and SELL
ing of real estate. According to the calcu-
lations Of w. Andrew Boyd. the publisher
of the directory, the list of names for the
new issue will show an increase of about
10000, as compared with the number of
names contained in the directory of the
year now closing.
Such figures verify what has been the
conclusion in regard to the growth in pop
ulation based upon the course of the mar
ket for houses, as well as the filing up of
apartment houses. In way the showing
answers the question of what becomes Of
the new houses and the new apartments.
1t is evident that they are occupied by the
people who are pouring into the city.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Boyd, founded on
the experience Of his canvassers in going
about the city. that there are very few
vacant dwellings.

streets has been attributed in the main to
the union station. and no doubt properly
so. It's range, however. has been much
wider than one small section or few
blocks of city property. OF course. 1t was
to be expected that such an effect would be
felt in the immediate locality of the sta
ton, where property values were changed
in their character from the range Of the
average residence section to one OF business
or semi-business.
Needs Of Business.
There has. in fact, arisen already a de-
mand for property in that section which
was required for various lines Of activity
that needed place within convenient range
of the station. Then farther out came In
another class Of business, where property
near enough to the railroad tracks to per-
NIT switches being run into 1t was wanted,
and so it has gone on until large section
of the city in the immediate neighborhood
of the station, and then along the tracks
leading out of the urban limits have come
into the market.
change too, has taken place in the
character of the improvements. and 1t will
become more pronounced the days go
on and the great railroad terminal is fin
ished. In place of houses. commercial and
other buildings have already been erected
or will be in the near future. OF course
the construction of such an immense work
as the Washington railroad terminal would
involve physical changes even If no other
influences were at work. For what has
been done, broadly speaking. Is to remove
the surface tracks which ran along the
streets Of the city and In their place ap-
pears a substantial viaduct of stone and of
cement. upon which the trains pass along
to their destination without interrupting
the traffic of the streets or endangering life.
Removal Of Building.

great work the railroad company has ac-
quired land, and In that locality the build
