The question as - whether the large
number Of apartment houses had pro

dwellings was answered by the state
ment that dwelling houses in good con
diti0n were stiH as popular as ever.
Rents Are Slightly Higher.
The general consensus was that rents
were "a Urife higher than heretofore,

Real estate values in Washington are
too high
apartment house building is over
done. There are more dwellings now
than there are people to nh them
This has been the burden of the CRY
of tho uupr0gressive scitiZeu of the
Nations Capital for the past decade
In fact. it is related hy some OF the
older realty agents that 1t was not
unusual to hear it said even as long
ago as forty years, and possibly some
of the members of the Oldest Inhabi-
tlnts' Association can recall that at a
stiu earlier period the timid citizen was
fond of saying the same thing. and
really believed it. too. although he could
not but observe on every hand the signs
of development of Greater Wash
ingyou.
Two instances that have but recently
occurred serve To show how even some
of the most progressive and astute of
our best people have failed 20 realize
the great possibilities that YET present
themselves for the future of the city.
The Wiseacres Didn't Know.
ON the occasion OF the purchase OF
tire property at the northeast corner
Of Pennsylvania avenue and Fourteenth
street with the intention of erecting
q fine hotel thereon, which, as stated
az the time, brought the magnificent
price of $3.50 per foot. 1t was said by
these same wiseaCres that the figures
were out of all proportion 20 Its value,
and that the expenditure of Sl75,o00 was
beyond all reason. Now mark the sequel.
10 was the pleasure os The Times
within one month thereafter TO print the
exclusive information that an advance
OF s. Per square foot had been offered
and later that the sum of $4,000 In ex-
cess of the purchase price would be
given 1t is said that as yet no decision
has been reached as to it's acceptance
or decline. and for that reason the hotel
project as first contemplated IS held
subject TO the action of the new owners
Cf the land.
Another Prophecy That Failed.
The second illustration is I'm q way
even more striking. The Stone property
at the corner of Fourteenth and i
streets was sold at about the same time
bringing the phenomenal price or SO
per foot. which was far and away great
ly i'm excess OF anything that had been
paid for Washington property, the total
sum represented in the deal being $l9o-
600. IL is now reported that an offer OF
$50 900 advance has been made, which.
on the basis of a square foot price would
be IS higher than the figure paid but
little over three months ago.
II is not believed that this offer viii
