it may have been subsoiled but once.
In viewing the effects it should be in

that If a narrow roller should follow

soil after the subsoil pillow has passed,

Founders Ideals.
MOST BEAUTIFUL CAPITAL

lures of Recent Times.
FEATURES OF IMPORTANCE

FEATURES OF IMPORTANCE

There is probably no capital in the world
that has made such great strides toward
the realization of the ideals of its founders
as has this city during the past few years.
Washington was known during the first
century of it's existence as the City of Mag
nificent Distances and by that name it
was called for the purpose of ridicule, both
at home and abroad. The proud boast
that it was destined to be the most beau
tiful capital city of the world was based
upon the confidence of the people many
years before the wealth of the nation and
of its citizens began to transform the broad
streets and avenues into splendid thorough
fares. lined with handsome structures, both
for the purposes of the government and for
the homes of people who could afford to
call forth the best efforts of the architect
and the builder.
The city. after the civil war. still had the
characteristics of small. struggling and
backward village, and many years We're
required in order to achieve substantial
progress to realize the proud boast of
Americans. From year to year that prog
ress showed greater and greater impetus.
But not until the last few years did Con-
gress put into practical form the policy
that had been the dream of statesmen
from the foundation of the nation. During
that time more has been done to bring
ever accomplished in a similar period Of
time. Both for itself and for the general
government it began to build. Millions Of
dollars were appropriated with less dis
cussion than in former years was devoted
to small allowances for such purposes. The
plans Of Congress had been SO long dis
cussed and were so thoroughly fixed In the
minds of the senators and representatives
that there was little no difference of
opinion as to what should be done.
Monumental Structures
The construction of the Congressional
Library was the first of the monumental
structures of recent times that marked the
active work in the building of the city
beautiful. Prior to the rearing of that
splendid structure the buildings that had
been put up since the civil war were of
varied design falling far short of the ex-
amples of architecture provided in the
earlier days. such the buildings for the
Post Office Department, the patent office,
the treasury, the Capitol and the White

posed absolutely demand the first floor
have gradually been crowded from what
have been regarded as the main business
streets to others of less prominence Now
there is thoroughfare running north
and south from It'll to 10Th streets that
is not devoted almost exclusively to bust
ness purposes. There are some rare in
stances in which this is not the case but
in almost every such instance it will be
found that the property still used for resi-
dence purposes has been held so securely as
to make ii impossible to replace it with
business houses
Another marked feature of the increasing
value OF downtown property is the tendency
of even the older and less desirable Office
buildings to have all available space oc-
cupied. 1t was supposed by some investors
that the construction of large up-to ate
Office buildings. attracting as they did many
tenants of older structures, would leave
a large amount of vacancy in these old
buildings. but somehow with the growth
OF the city this fear has not ben realized
in any important way. Many of the older
office buildings have been improved. and
today they are about we'll filled and
are bringing about large rents as they
did before the coming of their competitors
in the form of model office buildings.
Prominence City is Receiving.
The greater prominence that this city is
receiving incidental to the growth of the
country and to its growing Importance as
a world power is being shown very per-
ceptibly in the business section. The addi-
ton to the population of large numbers of

To Be Congratulated.
This city is to be congratulated, accord
ing to the views of nearly every one, over
the fact that its downtown or business sec
ton is being developed along harmonious
lines of architecture not to be seen in many
other places. The action of Congress in
restricting the height of buildings so that
they may not be greater than the width
of the thoroughfare from building line to
building line is looked upon as largely re-
sponsible for this condition. 1t has al
lowed in that way the gradual growth of a
sky line for business houses which is de-
void of the monstroSities that are met in
places where no limit to the height of build
ings is made. Without doubt, but for the
operation Of this law. the downtown Sec
ton would be marred here and there with
skyscrapers, the very height of which would
not only be an element of LONELINESS for
the city, but would make slower the build
ing up Of the entire section with hand
some structures. AS ten stories are about
the limit of height of buildings In this Sec
ton, large structures projected now are
almost without exception planned to come
up to that height in order that they may
not be dwarfed by adjoining buildings. At
the same time the impossibility of run
ming up twenty-story skyscrapers tends to
cause larger area to be occupied by such
buildings as are erected.
holdings in the downtown section has never
been one Of greater security than today.
These holdings produce regular incomes
that. so far as investors can determine,
are about as stable as government bond.
While the rate of interest on such Invest
ments Is not excessively large. yet 1t Is
sufficient to cause the fortunate holders
Of such property to desire to continue their
ownership.
The downtown section was never before
in more prosperous condition. and there
is no indication of any change in that re-
spect.

From the Boston Herald.
Two hundred and twenty-six years ago a
house was burned in Boston, which led to
the PRONUNCIATION of the first building law.
This fact developed at q Legislative hearing
this week, and when told by Assistant
Solicitor Child aroused great interest The
order passed on March 10, 1881, was as
follows:
About noon the chimney of Mr. Thomas
Sharps. house In Boston took fire. The
wind drove the fire to Mr.. Coiburn's house
and burned that down Also For the pre-
vention whereof in our new town indended

people who have come here and have
erected splendid homes has affected the
business-een in many ways. 1t has
caused additional investments there on the
part of people whose residence here has
brought these properties to their attention
and it has added in the aggregate very
large amount of business.
In that way hundreds, if not thousands
of the most liberal patrons of the stores
have been created. They in many instances
are people who demand the very best that
can be supplied in every line of trade with
which they come in contact. Their pres
ence here also adds to the strength of
financial ms situations and other business en-
terprises In which they are tempted to in
vest their surplus incomes. Their presence
here, in fact. Is calling to their attention,
and to the attention of others, the desir-
ability of Washington not only as place
in which to live, but also as a place in
which TO make conservative investments.

House. They all, with the exception of
the White House, followed classical lines
very faithfully.
The departure from that style of archi-
| lecture seen in some Of the public buildings
called forth such degree of criticism In
spite of the attempt that was made to
place utility above all else in the con-
struction of buildings for the government
that even the most pronounced economists
of Congress were ready and willing to bark
back to the architecture that marked the
beginnings of the government. A senti-
ment is broadcast in favor of no future de-
parture from the lines that characterize
the buildings now under construction-the
office buildings for the Senate and
building. the buildings for the Agricultural
Department and for the National Museum
Purely classical architecture is being en-
ployed In all of them. and white marble
of the finest variety to be found in the
United States is the only material regarded
as adequate for the construction.
Not on Classical Lines.
1t is difficult to imagine what reception
would be given the man who would have
the tenerity to stand up in the Senate or
House and suggest the construction of an
other Pension Office building or City Post
Once building or any class of structure
that does not carefully follow classical
lines. There Is even talk of removing some
OF these monstrosities. and there has been
very serious discussion in favor Of remod-
cling the Post Office building SO that 1t may
be less offensive to the eye in a city which
cannot reach the ideals of its founders IL
such incongruities are permitted to remain.
