BUILDING PERMIT
RATES DEFENDED
Inspector Hacker Says
Schedule of Fees Must
Be Enforced.

In reference to the protest of a real
estate firm concerning the payment Of
81 for a permit for repairs costing $3.50.
Building Inspector Morris Hacker said
today that while the rate may De re-
garded as excessive IN this instance,
the schedule of fees is. prescribed by act
Of Congress and must be enforced.
THE intention of this schedule is to
make the office OF the building inspector
self supporting" said Mr.. hacker. 'sTo
accomplish this it becomes necessary
to charge a fee for every permit issued.
and the lowest fee for any permit is 81.
Permits are required, even In minor re-
pairs. as it IS not practicable to auew
such work to be carried on without in
spection. This involves clerical work
and the time OF an inspector.
''Of course, II a man wants to put a
few nails in his back fence or wood
shed, a permit is not required, hut II
new boards or building material are
added permit is necessary"
Fees fer alterations and repairs where
there Is rc enlargement, are as follows:
One dollar for work costing 500 or less:
81 for work costing 500 to $500; IS for
work costing from $500 to 5000; "a for
work costing from $500 to 81 1000, and s.
for each additional 81 .0O0 or part thereof.

SERIES OF ARTICLES
ON REAL ESTATE

In four weeks the fail real estate
trade viii he ON. Since the opening
of the September market year ago
Washington has experienced re-
markabIe growth, both in the ex-
tent of building operations and in
the sales OF unimprOved ground.
This record promises to be dupIi-
Gated, if not surpassed, during the
coming twelve months.
With the view of setting forth
local real estate conditions SIS
they exists of pointing out where
the greatest Advancement In prop
erty values ms been recorded dur
ing the past year, and of indicating
where the investments of the
hOme-buiIder and specuIator may
safely be made, as gauged by the
trend of this advancement, The
Times begins today a series If four
articles treating, separately, the
four sections into which the Ma
tiOnHI Capital is divided.
TOGay's article deals with the
northwest section. Next Satur-
days will deal with the northeast
section, while the two succeeding

NEW HOUSES SELL
WAY AHEAD OF TIME
Rapid Sales of Twelve Homes en-
Keefer Place Announced by
Shannon & Luchs.

Fully sixty days before they will be

erected on Keefer Place northwest have
been sold through Shannon & Luchs
Announcement to this effect, which
makes another record for the rapid dis
posal Of houses, a feature that has
characterized the Capitals real estate
market the past few months, has just
been made.
The houses sold constitute one row
of ITO residences, which are to be built
in that immediate neighSprhoOd. They
are twO-story, colonial types, containing
six rooms and a tiled bath. The selling
price Is $3.50.
It was stated today that ground will
be broken next week for another row Of
twenty-four houses, which will be put
on the market before being completed,
in order to give purchasers an early
opportunity to make selections as to

mistskably point to a constant Increase
in the value Of Chevy Chase property Of
every description.
With conditions practically the same
regarding the opportunities for invest
ment in northwest property, only one
chance IS afforded to speculate with tie
view of obtaining abnormal profits.
This is IN determining the direction OF
the growth Of the ultra-fashionable res
identiaI section.
The strictly exclusive residential sec
ton has changed several times in the
history Of the Capital, and there Is
every indication that it will change
again In fact, It may be said there
was never a time when Ii was mol
moving ia one direction or another.
At one time the fashionable section
was in the First ward. It has now
grown out TO Sheridan Circle, where.
four years ago, there was scarcely a
house Property located near Sheridan
Circle now brings s. a foot.
Whenever the Spectator is fortunate
enough to determine the ultimate iii
rection this section will take. and buys
in advance Of its growth, ne may be
reasonably sure Of realizing profits
ranging from 50 to s. a foot.
Finally considered, three observations
must come to the prospective investor.
In sizing up the northwest section. as
a whole.
first, the chance of realizing abnormal
profits is small
Second, the chance of having property
deteriorate in value is reduced to "A
minimum.
Third, the chance Of realizing a fair
profit on any kind of an Investment IS
as reasonably sure as Investments ever
get to De.
When will Washington's remarkable
growth stop, If IL ever does. is another
question. Just now, the investor is in
terested in knowing whether there is a
sufficient present demand to Justify
property being bought or improved,
with the view of placing IL later on
the market.
The operations of the past year are
conclusive that such purchases viii be
justified, for If demand has weakened,

Continued Demand for Mod

Another week, characterized BY few
real estate transactions OF size, which
is to be expected at this time OF the
year, has nevertheless served 10 make
evident the fact that the moderate
priced house Will never cease to be out

This demand. apparently Is about tho
most stable factor that enters anywhere
into Washington's industrial interests.
real estate, or otherwise.
For weeks. there has not been an
apartment house Of any size sold, al
though the construction Of several has
been commenced. Likewise business
property has recorded a falling on in
point Of sales, for this Is not the time
Of year when business property ia in
the greatest demand.
But the modest little dwelling OF six
rooms that sells from $500 and up
that is different story. II the dun
market has affected this class Of prop
erty. there isn't anything being said
about it in the brokers' Offices.
And, when the real estate man doesn't
growi. It Is a pretty sure sign things
are going along all right.
About all the inquiries being made in
the real estate offices now are for homes,
and. as some OF the early summer op-
erations are being completed, the mar
ket is in good shape 10 satisfy the de-
mand. Consequently, the operations are
being rapidly cleaned up and room is
being made for the commencement OF
fall building.
Another instance Of houses being sold
before being completed was furnished
curing the week when twelve resi-
dences, principally on paper, were said
through one firm The same firm now
has twenty-four more houses on paper,
and the list has been placed on the
market, although ground has not vet
been broken for ehe structures.
That the record Of the week will be
duplicated for the next several weeks,
until the fall trade Is on in earnest
and all classes Of property are IN more
general demand. is anticipated by deal
ers.
And, while the demand continues,
Washington grows: the investor gets an
early return on his money and the city
gets her name placed away Up on tive
