street, will afford an opportunity for arch
itectural effect. which WIFI not be neglected.
At the present time attention is being
given to the preparation of the plans, for
while the lease on the property will not ex-
pire until next August, ana there ia no
chance of actually beginning the work of
building until some time next fall, yet it is
the purpose of Mr.. T. a. Wickersham, who
looks after the real estate business for MT.
Walsh, to have the preparations go far adj
yanced that there win be delay when
the time comes to begin the work.
Crowding the Golf Clubs.
The spreading out of the population OF
the city has far-reaching influence, and
Just now 1t is being felt by some of the
members of two of the golf clubs in this
vicinity. They are becoming apprehensive
that before long the surveyor will invade
their green's and that city streets will be
opened UP through the links that are now
reserved for the enjoyment of those who
handle the sticks.
The changes that are talked of in the
vicinity Of the Virginia end of the Aque-
duct bridge involves the coming on the
market of some of the farm land, and
the acres occupied by the Washington
Golf Club are mentioned. 1t is not
known that the land has actually been
sold, but it is realized that 1t is among
the possibilities now that so much atten-
ton seems to be given to the subject Of
the development or that section.
Invasion Of Streets
The Columbia Golf Club, which occupies
the Marshall Brown place on the Bright
wood road, Is somewhat in the same pre-
dicament, although there has been nothing
recently to change the situation. Still the
process of opening streets has come close
to the property. and of course there Is a la
bility that 1t will get new impetus at any
time and render the grounds now used for
golf unsuitable
In neither of the cases mentioned has
notice been served by the ownes of the
property that the land Is wanted, either In
whole or in part, bur the prospects of such
a situation, 1t Is realized, are more imminent
at this time than has been the case, owing,
as stated, to the development which is 60
ing on all about the city. AS it is consld-
cred that at least one hundred acres are
needed in order to provide adequate room
for a golf club, 1t can readily be under
stood that provision of that extent is not
likely to be found very close to a growing
city,
The Virginia Side of the River.
A purchase that has created q good deal
of attention among those who are inter
ested in property on the Virginia side of
the Aqueduct bridge is the one recently
made by Herrell & CO of large site at
Rossyn, where it is the intention to es-
luIlDeT SdTU Inc ground COM
prises about two-thirds of acre and lies
between the military road and the rail-
road tracks. The centering of business
places in this locality Is something that has
been predicted for some time would. take
place in that section and this move is in
line with this anticipation.
