sewage disposal system for the Chevy
Chase region north Of Bradley lane to the
Chevy Chase lake is now being installed
by the Chevy Chase Land Company, east
of the lake. 1t is the design OF A. Il.
McGonegal and gives to the sewage mat
ter a treatment that renders its ultimate
disposition possible with entire regard for
sanitary conditions.
All the sewage matter is conveyed In
the first instance to a tank where such
refuse as sticks and other similar sub
stances are removed. 1t then passes into
another tank where it is disentegrated
and all solid matter removed. The liquid
is then siphoned over coke filtration beds,
where it is purified and in this state
passes out from the plant and Is emp
tied into a neighboring stream. The
solid matter that is left in the bottom OF
the tank is removed at intervals. 1t is
said that while the installation of the
plant or the first cost is expensive, that
it's operation is economical
At the present time only. a portion Of
the plant as planned is to be provided,
but as the demand increases other units
are to be added until the maximum is
reached. which is calculated to be suf1-
cient for the needs of the entire region
for which 1t is intended.
Demand for Single Lots.
Some Of the men who are familiar
with the varying phases of the realty
market are of the opinion that dur
ing the coming season there is going
to be an unusual demand for single
building lots in resident sections.
While in some particulars this will be
a revival Of what was once the main
feature Of. the market, there have al
ways been those who prefer to buy lots
and build their own houses. In com
parison with the entire number OF
home owners, customers Of this sort
have in late years decreased as the
houses built for the market have come
to meet MORE fully the variety Of de-
mands.
In proof of such conclusion atten-
ton is called to the development OF the
Sheridan Circle section, which has been
built up almost exclusively with houses
erected by the individual for his own
use, and not for the market. The 10
cality of New Hampshire avenue and

of the city is not bounded by the limits of

SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM IS

Q street is also spoken of in this con-
nect1on, as well as the more recent
movement on 18th street, In Its various
section.
Surprising as it may seem. there is a
complaint on the part of brokers of d
scarcity of building lots in desirable To-
calitfes. and especially at prices which
prove attractive. 1t has been necessary
in order to get what was wanted and
where 1t was wanted in several instances
to pay what is looked upon as a high
figure for ground. Some of the dealers
are inclined to think the rise in prices
is already having a tendency to check
development in certain localities, where
it had good start.
High Prices Are Paid.
1t has not been infrequent in recent
months for men to find that in order
to get what they were after in the way
of residence sites. they would have to
pay at least $4,000 and that. too, for
inside lots of not more then twenty-five
feet in width. The range Of choice in
the localities looked upon as suitable for
such purpose is a wide one. In other
words. there is no one special place which
is 1.-THE place." where one must have

noted by word which is in the singular
number. for there are several such locali-
ties and their expansion and improvement
go on without much reference to the
widening of the resident sections of the
city as whole. A remarkable instance
Of this is found in the recent revival In
buying building sites and erecting fine
houses on what Is known as the lower
part of 18th street In the vicinity of K
street.
There is reason to believe that the
movement out Massachusetts, avenue will
continue and that the improvements will
cross Rock creek. Property holders on
the west side are getting ready for the
coming tide, if it should set in that way.
The land on the other side Of the avenue
to the Observatory Circle and beyond is
to be laid out In building sites. 1t is said
that for the lots on the south side the
selling price is to be about q dollar per
foot. while on the opposite side, where
the plan of subdivision will be governed
by the broken and irregular nature Of the
country and the building sites will be
larger than the usual city lot. 1t Is stated,
the average price will be about 40 cents
per square foot.
