make it especially attractive to the home
builder, and the demand for lots there
is increasing every day. Then. too, the
perfect car service is a factor which
never fails to demand consideration. Mr..
Sansbury, who manages this splendid
tract, believes that when the spring
building operations are fully under way
1t will be seen that more money is being
spent on 18th street extended than else
where in the District. He states that in
addition to a large number of houses al
ready projected at Sauls addition. many
others are in contemplation, and Will be

usually active demand for all classes OF
property under his control is ample evil
dence that whatever depression may have
been caused by the monetary trouble OF
last year has entirely disappeared.
Dozens of other magnificent subdi-
visions and building sites might be cited
to show that the suburbs of Washington
are not only the most beautiful and
healthful In the world. but that their sre-
cial advantages are becoming more wide
ly known every day. and a demand for
homes in them is increasing among the
rich and poor alike as new oDDortuni-
