Judge KimbaI in Police Court this
morning said that he would urge the
Commissioners TO pass a law to punish
real estGte agents who rented unsan-

WEATHER MAKES
MARKET INACTIVE
Real Estate Values, How.
ever, Are Not Affected
by Conditions.
SUBURBAN LOTS
IN GOOD DEMAND
Anything With Shade Tree on 1t
Looks Good to the
Investor.

What the rains OF two weeks ago &C
complished, the hot weather of the
present week has duplicated in the real
estate market-inactivity
One gratifying condition, however. has
made itself conspicuous; that the dull
ness has not injured values and the
market is as strong as ever when 1t
comes TO agreeing upon the terms Of a
deal.
It has been a question Of weather,
pure and simple. Hot weather brings
on an exodus of persons from the city
and every year this factor has to be
more or less cOntended with by real
estate dealers This year its effect has
seemed doubly severe, since the rains
brought on the duh season two weeks
earlier than had been anticipated.
Dealers Optimistic.
While every real estate firm has
shared in the let-up OF business. the
few transactions closed have indicated
beyond all doubt that as much conf
dencs is felt In local realty values as at
any time since the beginning OF the
year.
Anything with q shade tree on it has
locked good TO the investor. and the
greatest activity has been in suburban
land. TakOma Park, Chevy Chase,
Saui's Addition, Petworth and practi-
cally every subdivision have had the
call on all classes Of property for sale
in the District This activity has been
extended to sections which have been
opened up several miles from the city.
as no little demand for country homes
Is being recorded
Builders, apparently, are taking ad-
vantage OF the dull season in starting
new operations. Several good-sized
permits have been taken out during
rows OF houses. apartment houses and
other buildings which will be put on
the market as investments
Realty Investments.
Among investments of this class are
twenty-five two-story brick dwellings
on L street, Kentucky avenue, Ninth
street and Tenth street, which are to
be built by George Cooper at an esti-
mated cost Of $500
Aiiddaugh & Shannon have taken out
permits for the erection OF two-story
brick and frame buildings on Nine
teenth street. to cost $4,000. while ".
T. Cothins IS planning to build five
two-story buildings on Kentucky ave-
nue. on which will be expended $25, 600
While builders are getting ready for
the fall season, real estate dealers are
making similar preparations by wind
ing up old business In many instances,
property. upon which deposits have been
held for some time. is being closed
out and transferred, the result being
that a great many deeds are being put
10 record daily The majority of the
deeds represent old business, rather
than transactions recently made.
Real estate men are optimistic over
the outlook for the fall business. Only
q return Of cooler weather is needed,
IL IS believed, to again start things
booming. as q great deal Of new i'm
proved property viii be put on the mar.
