Active Operator Shows Close Rela-
ton Between Financial Interests
and Real Estate.

In discussion yesterday of the close
relations existing between the financial
interests and the real estate operators in
the District of Columbia, J. Louis Willige
OF the firm of Willige. Gibbs & Daniel
contrasted the methods by which property
was acquired and held in past ages and
gradual revision of ideas concerning prop
erty rights incident to the spread of civil
ization. and finally drew an interesting
picture OF the cordial assistance which is
afforded by local trust companies. savings

financing of realty transactions Mr.. Will
lige said:
From time immemorial, among even
the most primitive conditions Of society,
and years without number before the ad-
vent OF the stone age, the occupation Of
specific portions of the earth's surface by
specific individuals for specific purposes
has been not only desideratum, but an
actual necessity in providing the creature
comforts of life.
THE methods of procuring and preserv-
ing such exclusive rights have, of course,
largely altered since those early days OF
primeval simplicity. Time was when the
axiom. Might makes right. was inter
preted in a purely physical sense, and
when the survival of the fittest dominated
the situation and determined the occu-
pancy OF the ground, the owner being put
to the necessity Of defending his title by
absolute force, and the limits of his pos
sessions being elastically enlarged or cir
cumscribed, according to his ability to

CITY NOT OVERBU|LT
EXPERT ANALYZES CONDITIONS
IN WASHINGTON.
Increase in Population Declared to
Be Ample to Fill All New
Apartments.

Rignald w. Beall, vice president of
Moore & HILL Inc. in speaking yesterday
of the local situation with reference 10
apartment houses. was Of the opinion that
the demand for apartments has not yet
been fully met Ten years ago. he said,
it was stated that Washington had too
many apartment houses. This number
has been Increased by more than one
hundred substantial buildings and the de-
mand still continues stronger than it was
five years ago. Washington, like all
cities, needed an education in apartment
ington people cling with a greater te-
nacity to old ideas and customs than any
other people in the world. 1t Is not
meant that the Washington people do not
appreciate Washington, the most beauti-
full capital city. with its countless ad-
vantages. Families who would not have
considered an apartment a few years ago
have since noted the compactness of liv-
ing quarters afforded in the modern build
ings with the consequent reduction Of the
problem of housekeeping to a science
These people have become convinced that
there are almost as many conveniences
and about rs much fresh air and sunshine
to be had in an up-to-date apa rtment
house as in the average residence.
The servant question has been simplified
by apartment house living, not only on
account of the prices demanded by com
petent domeStics. but on account of the
lesser number needed in operating the
home established in fiat as compared
with the same proposition in the average
dwelling. Scientific housekeepers admit
that the average families can attain in an
apartment the maximum of pleasure and

The house will stand eighty feet back
from Connecticut avenue, with a drive
way leading to the main entrance. A fea-

More Buildings Nearing Completion.

1t can be said without successful con-
tradiction that there arc no vacant apart
ments left over from the last renting sea-
son. There are buildings undergoing con-
struction and buildings nearing compile
ton which will put on the spring market
about 100 to 125 suites, but in a city SO
large as this. and growing so rapidly,
that there are too many apartment houses
for WaShinStons occupation. One OF
the best builders in the city is so we'll sat
isfied with his apartment houses that he
is going TO make it his future policy to
hold this class of investments for himself
When the demand is less than the supply
prices depreciate very much in the COM
modify offered for sale. Apartments in
all of the new buildings were rented this
year at an Increase in price over apart
ments year ago. In many instances the
increase is 10 TO 20 per cent in the renting
value. All of the builders admit that the
prices received in recent sales of apart
ments are much in excess of the prices re-
ceived in the past few years, and at the
same time building material has decreased
in cost. Washingtonians may not realize
how fast the city is growing. Building
statistics show that i'm the past year
homes were provided for about 1s5O fam
lies thus providing for an increase of
almost 10000 in the population. The gen

Summary of Building
Beyond New Bridge

The first considerable operation was the
erection OF ten houses on the north side
oil Garfield street by Aaron Townsend
and a number in Connecticut avenue near
the northern end Of the bridge by Clarke
Waggaman. Sixteen houses were then
placed on the south side of Garfield street
by Harry Wardman. and these were fol-
lowed in rapid succession by a series OF
houses In Connecticut avenue. constructed
by Franklin T. Sanner: in ed place by
row built by Kennedy Bros. and in Cattle
draI avenue and 9th place by number
of residences constructed by Middaugh &
shannon and by Lewis E. Breuninger.
The residence of Harry Wardman. at
Connecticut avenue and Woodley road, is
one Of the most strikingly beautiful homes
In the whole of this newly built section
II stands at the apex of a natural knoll
in the center OF a tract of about an acre
and its lawns are shaded by giant forest
oaks. Others Of the more pretentfous
homes are those Of William A. Hill and

Building Operations
Never More Active

In no year in the history of the mu-
nicipality has the building boom been In
operation with such vim as in the just
ended 1909, and certainly no year has
seen so many dwellings and apartment
houses of the very best class added to
the list of improvements. This continu-
Gus activity in new building SPELLS many
things for Washington. 1t shows that
hundreds and thousands of artisans are
being kept continuously in the ranks of
the employed, and, by their earnings
thrown into every channel of trade, all
of the affairs of the community are
given a healthy tone 1t shows more
than anything else that the bankers and
financial interests generally have the
utmost confidence in the future not only
of the particular sections in which the
development Is most rapid. but of the
whole District of Columbia. And the
backing and support which the financiers
have given to various building booms
has been so stanch that not one of these
enterprises has failed of successful
issue.
Naturally the trend of the city is
toward the northwest, and one OF the
best illustrations of the rapidly Of
the growth is afforded by the section
abutting upon Connecticut avenue be-
tween the new million dollar bridge
spanning Rock Creek valley and the
Geological Park. In that section at the
present time there are improvements
which represent an aggregate outlay
OF fully $1,000. O0O-and nearly all Of
this money has been spent and the
building done in a period of about two
years.
While many improvements were being
placed in Cleveland Park and Chevy
Chase. however, the ground lying In the
Immediate vicinity of what is now the
northern end Of Connecticut Avenue bridge
was not developed. The bridge was
thrown open to traffic about two years
ago, and at this time there was a bare
half dozen houses clustered about the
junction of Connecticut avenue and Cal
vert street.

RESUME OF PAST YEAR
New Building Beyond Connecticut
Avenue Bridge Cited as
Example.

At this season of the year, when 1909
has passed out of existence and 1910 is
just beginning. it is of interest to scan
some of the developments in real estate
OF the past twelvemonth and to review
certain of the Improvements which have
contributed largely to the material well
fare OF the whole community. Charles
F. Wallraff. secretary and treasurer OF
Moore & Hill, Inc. has made a study OF
many phases of the growth of the cap
ital, and the following resume of the
year was prepared by him:
The era of prosperity which now OBJ
tains throughout the country certainly
has no better expression in the District
of Columbia than that which il given
by the steady upbuilding of the sections
lying just without the old city limits.
II is not many months since quite q few
of these sections were regarded almost in
the light of suburbs, but that time il now
past: the lines of demarcation have been
swept away. so that the area of Wash
ington which is practically solidly built
with houses and laid off with streets
and avenues is materially increasing
with each passing season.

WASTE OF RESOURCES
MUST Be REMED|ED
Local Financier Regards Extrava-
gance as One of the Menaces
to Prosperity.
G.. BOWIE CHAPMAN TALKS
OF BUSINESS CONDITIONS
Interview Includes Review of Old
Year and Prophecy for the
Twelvemonth to Come.

The end OF the calendar year and the
beginning of another naturally affords
opportunity for retrospection and for in
trospection. and in this connection il is
interesting to note the opinions and pre-
dictions of men whose business Il il 60
continually feel the pulse of the country.
Experts in all parts OF these United
States have been urged to give reviews
OF the twelvemonth just ended and for
views of the probable developments of
1910.
From many sources have come warn
ings that the present pace OF extrava-
gance in all walks of life must be cur
tailed. and this phase of conditions at
the turn of the year was emphasized
yesterday by G. Bowie Chapman, local
manager for Hartman & Co.. bankers
and brokers. In an interview Mr. Chip
man declared that the wealth of the
and toll, and. in common with other
able financfers, he deprecated the all too
general tendency to waste of resources.
MIR. Chapman said:
The fact will be disputed by few peo-
pie conversant with the security market
that the history of financial affairs In the
year just ended forms one of the most
rema rka BILE periods in the financial rec
ords OF this country. Two years ago 4
financial disaster swept over the coun-
try. causing suspension of. practically
all cash payments by the banks. Several
failures occurred and there was gen.
eral stoppage of plans for business de-
velopment In the industrial and railroad
world. The fear was common that fol-
lowing these troubles the entire mercan-
tile and commercial world would have TO
pass through a period of stress. at the
end of which this country would likely
justified by past experiences. but in this
instance they were for the most part un
founded. Whether this was due to the
policy of the banks in cooperating with
each other. thus averting large num-
Der Of business failures, or because the
country had greater strength for re-
cuperation because of the greater
agricultural prosperity which We did not
have in former panics. or whether the
conservative business man had put his
house in order. the fact was that the
panic of 1907 was TO a greater extent "A
financial disaster than a mercantile one.

Rebound of Business
Caused Extravaganza

THE tremendous rebound OF business
has to a very large extent caused an era
of extrava gance. Has IL not caused the
merchant to look on his wants for the
coming year with more optimism than
is warranted? Has it not caused a greater
industrial development than the imme-
diate future warrants? IL is safe to say
that the wealth of the country is amassed
by economy and toll. 1t is reasonable
10 say that the average man is not saw
ing a fair portion of his earnings. The
increased cost OF living, of course, pre-
cludes saving in many cases. but much
squandering of resources is due to the
desire for ease and luxury, which in =
great many cases is not warranted BY
the earnings of the individual
This criticism touches every walk OF
life. 1t has caused serious comment from
some of our ablest financiers. II will
cost, ii continued. waste Of our finan-
cial resources. Ii will also bring about
unwise speculative conditions. Our for
eign trade does not stand in a satisfactory
condition. and there is no Immediate
promise of any Improvement In that d.
rection. There is also a possibility OF
more or less political agitation, due to
the increased cost Of living, which is very
largely unjustly blamed upon the corpo-
rations. Litigation is pending which will
more or less affect the Industrial life OF
the country. Labor demands an increase
ton Of financing the demands Of the gov
eminent and the industrial and railroad
enterprises. and, at the same time caring
for the security market. is worthy of Sc
rious thought.
1T is not reasonable to believe that all
of these unfayorable factors will become
important. The American man is quick
to adapt himself to conditions: he may
readily see that extravaganza is leading
him on to unsafe ground. Agricultural
conditions next wear NAV very largely
adjust the present complaint as to the
cost of living. Industrial growth will
continue. whether the corpo-
rate existence OF the largest industries
remains or not. The desire to invest a
dollar will be just as great I'm the man
who has 1t as in the past, but we must

precedented advancement in securities,
