MANY HOME BUYERS.
New Row in 5th Street Northeast
Placed on Market by Howen-
stein Company.

A steadily continuing demand for small
houses at reasonable prices has resulted
in a boom in this. sort OF building In the
District, and now each section Of the
city offers opportunities to the homeseek-
er. and realty operators generally are
having material success in finding pur-
crasers for the little homes. The evolu-
ton in sales methods also has been
strong factor in securing the popularity
of houses of this class, because the small
cash payments required when any pros
pectiye purchaser takes possession, aided
further bv the system of accepting
monthly installments until the entire
equity has been acquired, have started
hundreds of families on the road toward
owning homes.
One of the best examples of tins sort OF
construction in the more recent pullulns
i'm the northeast is the row of houses In
Y street, Nos. ~ to 80, inclusive, which
were built and are offered for sale by the
III. r. Howenstein Company of 1914 r
street. These homes are of the colonial
type. and each stands on a lot twenty feet
in width All have large double colonial
norches. and contain six rooms and bath.
rhe fact that these dwellings are of steel
construction is strong guarantee OF
their solidity, while the hardwood finish
and NAMED and oiled floors add much TO
their attractiveness. Each house has
lirge front and rear yards. furnace
heating system and is equipped with the
finest sanitary plumbing. The houses are
offered for sale at $3.50 each:

ACTIVITY IN PHILADELPHIA.
Building Records for Month OF july
Show Big Gains.

The report of the Philadelphia bureau of
building inspection for July shows that
the value of the work for which permits
were issued during the month was $780,
10 in excess of the value of the construc-
ton begun in July, 1908. The permits
granted last month covered 1,o41 opera
tions costing 81, ss7, $50, against 29s oper-
ations, costing s2,912.4S0, in July of last
wear. The total value of the work done
during the current year to the end of
July shows a total Of So. 79o, $40 spread
over 1O05S operations, compared with
S16.67a, $50 and 7.NS operations for the
corresponding period of 1908. i
Thus it will be seen there were S9112,-
80 more invested in building during the
last seven months than was spent in
the same period a year ago; and 1t is
particularly worthy of note that the
amount invested in construction SO far
this year falls short only S651 ,135 of the
expenditure ts26. 443. .475) during the first

PLANS COMPLETED FOR SOUTH
ERN COMMERCIAL CONGRESS.
Structure on Site of Old st. Mat
thew's Church to Be Started
in Near Future.

Announcement was made this week on
the authority Of G. Grosvenor Dave, man.
aging director Of the Southern CONNER
cial Congress, that arrangements are now
making for the erection of a 81 600
building as the headquarters of the con-
gress.
The ground has been purchased and the
money secured. Plans are being drawn
by 7. F. Schneider. local architect, and
the work OF construction is expected to be
commenced within the next two or three
months. 1t is hoped to have the build
ing ready for occupancy within year
from the start.
Thus it will be seen that the work OF
providing a permanent home for the
Southern Commercial Congress will at
once proceed instead Of waiting the
fruition OF the plan for raising fund Of
81, ,O0OOO by 1000 firms or persons sub
scribing $1,000 each, which was the orig
inal proposition.
Congress is the southeast corner of 10Th
and Fl streets. now occupied in part by
old st. Matthews Church. 1t fronts for
14S feet on H street and for loo feet on
18th street, and contains a2,20O square
feet. or almost half an acre. Diagonally
across H street is the beautiful Union
Trust building, which contains the tenn
porary Offices of the Southern CONNER
cial Congress-: the George Washington
University stands on the southeast, and
the Shoreham Hotel occupies the remain
ing corner.
Inception Of Congress.
The Southern Commercial Congress had
its inception at convention Of the secre-
taries of southern commercial Organiza-
tions which was held at Chattanooga,
Tenn.,- in August, 1908, for the purpose
of organizing the Southern Commercial
Secretaries Association. There the
thought was voiced that there should be
a better and fuller understanding among
the men of the north and the south OF
their relations to each other, and Of their
relations to the nation in its growth.
Other suggestions and ideas were ad-
vanced and discussed with the result that
a program was drawn up for a public
Interpretation of southern resources and
southern aspirations. 1t was resolved by
the newly formed association that there
shall be southern commercial congress,
but as G. GroSvenor Dave, secretary OF
the Commercial Club OF Montgomery,
Ala, and chairman of the committee OF
arrangements of the congress- to whom
the greater part of the credit for the
ACCOMPLISHMENT Is due. says:
"Think upon the courage of these men.
Tn to this date there had never been a
permanently successful commercial gath
ering of broad scope in the south. We
knew that. We knew that failures had
followed close upon the heels of effort

there was an immense future for the

Fireproof construction of all classes OF
business structures, and even of occa-
sional private homes, has received such
impetus incident to the rapid progression
in building methods that every develop
ment in the art of protecting buildings
from the destroying element is hailed
with interest by the structural engineer
by the investor and by the general pub
lic Largely by reason of its wide
streets. which automatically check the
spreading Of fire, and Its exceilently or
ganized fire department, and still more
because Of its drastic building regula-
tions. which, efficiently enforced, reduce
the fire risk, Washington has never ex-
perienced confiagration. Old buildings
days before prevention methods were
known, but almost without exception the
fires which have occurred in them have
been confined by the fire department to
the structure in which the flames found
origin. And as the business houses of
former years yield to the march of prog
ress and are demolished to make space
section which does not boast building
the conf1agration risk is constantly dimin-
ishng. Al the present time there is
scarcely one city block in the downtown
section which does not boast a building,
properly fireproofed. according to the
building regulations. whose stout walls
would suffice n bulwark against the
spreading of the flames in event fire of
serious proportions should occur.
Taken altogether. the wide streets the
strong fire department. the ample water
supply, the well drawn and well enforced
building regulations and the number of
.-fireproof bulwarks'' have operated TO
give to the citizens and business men of
Washington at least one outward and un-
mistakable sign of the safety Of the city,
in that the fire insurance rates, estab-
lished by the underwriters, are as low as
the lowest among large municipalities.
Safety at Centers Of Congestion.
Vastly more important than the actual
reduction of the fire risk from CONNER
cial standpoint is the question of the
safety OF human lives in all the centers
where congestion oceurs--in the theaters,
in the public schools and in the stores
and large office buildings. Other cities
have passed through narrowing expert
ences, and after doing all in its power to
ameliorate the suffering in each case,
Washington has taken advantage of the
object lessons afforded. At the present
time it may be safely said the Capital
