That three-quarteTs of the sales Of
r. al estate in Washington at the present
time are of the investment nature is the
opinion of Gardiner & Dent, Inc, and
this is fully confirmed by the report OF
their sales. Business of this character
means a quick turning over Of the prop
erty at an advance in a great many

a few years ago when the Capital
Traction Company extended lis street
car system from the former terminus at
Fourteenth street and Park road TO Four
teenth and Kennedy streets there were
less than a dozen residences along the
entire extension. To-day the whole section
is teeming with population. Hundreds
of Houses have been built, sold. and oc-
cupled. and the evidences of life and ae-
tivity are seen on every side. Enormous
sums have been expended in grading and
macadamizing streets and in the install
lation of sewers. water mains. and other
city improvements. giving the residents
the advantage of every city comfort
SauPs Addition.
Occupying the center of this wonderful
field OF activity and development is saurs
addition to the city of Washington. This
property occupies the territory extend
ing from Buchanan street on the south
to FSragut street. and from Georgia
avenue TO Piney Branch road, and coy
ers an area of about ten city blocks.
When the car line was extended this
tract of land was a cultivated farm.
Shortly afterward ii wRs subdivided into
lots of large size. and upward of $50 900
was spent in grading and providing the
necessary improvements. The lots were
sold under carefully devised regulations
and restrictions in order to establish a
section of entirely detached homes. These
restrictions provide that only one house
shall be built on each lot; that no apart
bnnunu hqrufpac. =
houses shall be permitted on the prop
erty. and requiring that any house erect
ed shall cost at least $1,000 TO build
Detached Houses Only.
A majority of the lots disposed of up
10 the present time have been sold TO
people who desired TO build their own
houses after plans of their own selection
At the same time a large number of
houses have been erected By builders
who found ready sale for them TO those
desiring detached homes with annie
space about them. In this way a com
munity of artistic homes has been es-
tablshed. showing a pleasing variety of
architectural styles.
The marked success of this enterprise
has been most gratifying to the pro-
Jectors, who IN few years have realized
their ideals in the establishment of a
little city OF Individual homes An un-
usual circumstance in this connection is
the fact that every house is occupied by
its owner. and that there never has been
q house rented on the property The
houses are well distributed over the en-
tire subdivision. showing that purchasers
consider all parts of the property OF
equal desirability.
Houses Now Being Built.
At this time there are eight houses ia

Senators Aldrich and Hale,
when they retire next March,
will have served each his thirty
years in the upper branch of
Congress. Both entered the
