tor in the evangelization of the world was

OPTIONS On GROUND
NEGOTIATIONS FOR SQUARES
EAST OF PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Owners Of property on the squares east OF
Mount Vernon Square, where the Public
Library Is situated, and lying between 6th
and It'll streets and Massachusetts avenue
and New York avenue, have. to considera-
BILE extent, given options on their proper
ties. They do not know for what purpose
the land Is wanted or who wants 1t. The
agents with whom they have treated are.
of course, known, but they have gained no
Information from them In many instances
the agents have said that they don't know
why the property Is desired, and in other
instances they have said they were not at
liberty to tell. No money has been spent in
getting the options with the exception of
the payment Of a dollar in each case in or
der to secure the legality of the paper CIV
ing the option. AS a rule the price named
by the owner of the property is the one that
Is accepted by the collector of the option.
On X street between 9th and 7th streets
the uniform price is about $ per
foot, and the owners are satisfied to tie up
their property for a time with the Pr spect
Of getting this price. In the absence OF any
definite information as to the proposed
uses Of the property, number Of conJec-
lures have been advanced. One Is to the ef-
feet that a large hotel is to be erected on
the squares with underground passage
way connecting them, another rumor is that
the property Is being secured in the inter-
ests of John Wannamaker. who intends to
erect there large department store.
Center Market May Be Moved.
1t is also said that the Center market is
to be moved there and also that the Dis
trict Commissioners are trying to find out
how much the land would cost, with the
view of locating one of the large proposed
school buildings on the site.
1t is also cOnjectured that some one Is
getting together options on the entire prop
erty with the idea Of having something to
sell in the event he happens to come across
a customer who might want something Of
the sort.
In speaking about the matter today Mr..
B. F. Saul. president of the Home Savings
Bank. whoae banking building Is at the cor
ner of It'll and K streets Is on one of the
squares referred to, said that no option for
the sale of the building of the bank had
been given, nor Is 1t proposed to give any
such option, as the building is not for sale.
