town. Here there are some subdivisions
that have been In existence for some years.
but there Is little new between Georgetown
and Glen Echo. with the exception OF two
new churches, one of the Methodist and the
other of the Catholic denomination. The
Methodist church is opposite the residence
Of Greed NJ Fulton and the Catholic church
Is on the old Shughrue tract.
The subdivision of Berleith on the west of
Georgetown is about as 1t was a year ago.
There has been nothing done in the way of
additional buildings, and the chief improve
ment is in filling In the lower sections. This
work is going slowly. and there is a
good deal of new ground being made that
will tend to level up the tract.
Massachusetts, Avenue Extension.
From the northern part of the subdivision
q new street Is being extended east, and
will cross 3Ith street. There will be an
other extension east of a street crossing
35th and 34th streets. and connecting with
the old Lovers Lane road. But the most
important extension in the north Is that of
Massachusetts, avenue, which is being
pushed to connect with the present section
of the avenue and the American University,
north Of Chas. G.. GloVerS country place.
The avenue is destined to be a beautiful
driveway will be well paved and excellent
iy lighted. and is the logical roadway out
OF the city to the northwest for those who
want to drive in carriages or automobiles.
The buildings of the American University
are making steady, If slow, progress, and
there are now two of the proposed group
erected.
The Harriet Lane Johnson School for
boys in the cathedral close is nearly COM
pleted, and there is the Hearst school,
Cleveland Park continues to be one of the
most important of the residence sections in
the northern suburbs. Its location close to
the city Is In its favor, and the fact that it
was started with good selection of resi-
dences has been strong argument for
drawing there more buildings Of the same
sort.
On the west side of Wisconsin avenue there
are several subdivisions that will be opened
In the course of the season. One of these
IS the old kcngla property, which will be
under the management of Capt. Randle,
who aided materially in developing Con-
gress Heights. This subdivision will be put
Immediately in touch with the city system
of sewers and gas and water and is con-
veniently located to the car lines. Another
is Cathedral Heights, the Old Tunlaw
Heights property.
New Subdivisions.
Coleman Park. under the management of
Geo. p. Robinson. is already opened north
of Cleveland Park 1t has been viewed by
hundreds of Wasingtonians and promises
to be close second in popularity to Cleve-
land Park itself. The American University
Park property is another of the newer sub
wake & Co, and the subdivision of Friend
ship Heights just north of the residence of
John r. Mclean is being handled by w.
III. Offutt OF Georgetown, and is attracting
a number of very desirable residents.
Before the season is over the Burrows
property of seventy-four acres close to the
Murdoch MIL road, will be sold and sub
divided, and this will be practically the last
of the acre property remaining in this part

On the other side of the Potomac the
Rosslya region is developing remarkably
This region that a few years ago was not
wanted for either business or residential
purposes at any price has advanced in
value with the number of new business en-
terprises that have located there. and an
offer was recently made and refused for the
old Clark property of 81 a foot. The Ar
lington National Bank has just bought
site there, and while the location is par
ticularly desirable It was obliged to pay
s.. 30 a foot for the ground.
Directly North of CITY.
For the section directly north of the city
the chief matter Of interest is the extension
of the 14th street car line two miles into
the country. Few of the Neutrality-suspicious.
who have not been over this route realize
the size of the undertaking. The car line
has been extended with the underground
trolley two miles straight into the country
reaching the confines of the old Brightwood
Park. The line goes straight through the
woods. tapping a new section, all good for
beautiful villa sites, and there have already
been erected some attractive houses. The
subdivision OF the Saul property has proved
a great success. The big car house of the
Capital Traction company in this section
is one of the biggest pieces of construction
in the city.
