BEAUTIFUL BUENos AYRES.
There the City Council Gives Prizes
for Handsome Houses.
From the World Today.

From the World Today.
Buenos Ayres is in some respects the
most cosmopolitan city in the world. No
important European nation but has con-
tributed it's capital and its people to the
upbuilding of this great metropolis. 1t
also has the distinction of being the second
city of Latin population in the world, be-
ing larger than the largest cities in Italy
and Spain.
There is perhaps no city which exhibits
a greater variety of pleasing contempo-
rary styles of domestic architecture. The
city council tries to encourage beautiful
building by annually offering gold medal
to the architect who is found to have
planned the most attractive facade, and
by freeing from the building tax the
structure thus favored.
The outward aspect of Buenos Ayres is
rather that of a European than of an
American capital. Ii mas all the finish of
a Paris or a Berlin. The absence of the
irregular skyline, caused in North Amer
lean cities by the extreme height Of some
business buildings, as we'll as the fact
that the ground Of the city is quite uni
formly built upon. even i'll the more out
lying regions, keeps the city from pre-
senting that unfinished appearance which
even our largest cities have.

market to be active this summer and
autumn.
The fact that no taxes are levied in ad-
joining towns is a distinct drawback to
the progress of Hyattsville from the
standpoint of the number Of houses erect
ed. However, one of the features con-
tributing to the steady development of
Hyattsvi,le is the fact that the law has
always prohibited the sale of liquor with
in the corporate limits. There are many
citizens who believe it would be advisa-
BILE. now that the town has gotten beyond
the village point of its life, to authorize
the sale Of liquor and charge a license
fee of 81 DG0 for each saloon. This money
would be expended upon the roads of The
town. There is, however a distinct senti-
fnent against the sale of liquor in the
town. although this is not so we'll de-
fined as 1t was five years ago.
