HANDSOME new HOME
FOR LOUIS R. PEAK
Colonial Residence on Wyoming
Avenue Adds to Attractive
ness of Street.

The residence section of Wyoming ave-
nue. between 18th and 18th streets has
just had an addition to the number of
comfortable and attractive homes by the
completion of the house built by Louis
r. Peak, secretary of the Corcoran Fire
Insurance Company. Mr.. Peak is now in
possession Of his new home, which has
been specially planned for the use Of his
family, and is good example of a mod
ern home. The treatment of the eX-
terror is colonial, and the window frames
and other wood work are painted white,
which harmonizes with the color Of the
bricks laid with white joints.
The style of architecture prevails very
generally in this locality, which is one Of
the newer resident sections of the city,
although a beginning was made there
some years back. Many handsome houses
have been built in this block. Adjoining
on the west the residence of Mr.. Peak
is house that has. just been completed
by Louis H. Emmert, whose home is on
this block
On tie opposite side are the residences
of Clarence E. Norment, Adds B. Browne
and Clarence A. Aspinwall, the first
named being one of the most spacious
homes In the city, with grounds about 1t
that are unusual in size. On the south
side of the street Mr.. Norment has begun
the improvement Of vacant ground by the
erection of four homes. They will be
built in pairs, and will each have the
width of twenty-five feet and will be Of
a good type of residence.

TO FIGHT PROPOSED TAX.
Opposition to Assessment on Unearn-
ed Increment Is Strong.

Large real estate interests in New York
state are uniting, according to the New
York World. to fight the proposed tax on
unearned increment.
AN active propaganda is being con-
Quoted in this state for the enactment of
an unearned increment tax upon real
estate, and the prediction is freely made
that within two years legislation to that
effect will be enacted said President
Allan Robinson of the Allied Real Esta tie
Interests. An unearned increment tax
means contiscation Of land values
If there is to be legislation affecting
the basic forms of real estate equities a
period Of unsettlement is expected in all
branches of the market. Operators and
important lending interests say that 1t
would disrupt standards of realty valua-
lions and that the result would be a
state of chaos until a new order of things
could be established.
The unearned increment tax is based
on the theory that the community, haN-
ing contributed to the enhancement of
land, should take for itself a part Of
the lands increase in vaule The tax
would be adjusted each year to the rise
in prices. AS high as "A per cent Of the
yearly increase is proposed. The tax
has been adopted in Germany and Eng
land.
Such a tax would make less desirable
the ownership of land" said Mr.. Robin
son. 1T would lead to a drop in prices
and extensive calling Of loans. This would
mean the beginning OF a period OF fore
closures
Speculative development and building
would be discouraged. Such ventures
are conducted on borrowed money, and
lenders would not make reasonable loans
under the new order of equities. Build
ing operations would decrease radically.
This would tend to lower the total
assessed valuations and reduce the city s
debt limit, because the chief part of the
annual increase in assessed values is due
to the new capital invested in construction.
1t would make population congestion
worse, because there would be fewer
new buildings. and an increasing popula
ton would have to pay competitive prices
for quarters in old structures"
Operators argue that the theory of the
unearned increment tax ought to work
both ways. If the community can take
from realty owner part of the increase
in the value of his property. they say
that the community ought to pay back
to the owner part of any decrease in
value that might occur during years of
declining prices.

REAL ESTATE PRICES HIGH
FROM CAPITOL TO STATION
Government Likely to Delay Purchase Of
Complete Right Of Way Locality
May Become Business Center.

posed in the section south of the Avenue
and in the vicinity of the depot will
have the effect of concentrating and con-
solidatinG a section north of that
throughfare where business has been
largely prominent and which was none
too large in area to accommodate the
needs during the years when it was
bounded and restricted by the demands
for resident uses. But these latter de-
mands, as is well known have been re-
duced in recent years in volume certain.y
and also in character, while other bust
ness centers have been created and there
has not been the increase in that section
in the area devoted to commercial pur-
poses to CORES pond with the scope of
the general change.
Business Future.
1t is not expected that this locality will
become one of the congested business
sections of the city, but it is believed
there is a future for it, and along the
lines indicated. But it must be said there
Is not much at the present time in the
course of realty in that section to indi-
cate such a future. While of course
those who own property have an Interest
in this subject, yet 1t has a still wider
appeal as it has an important bearing on
the prospects OF the improvement in the
appearance of thrOughfare that is the
most prominent ana historic IN talS cQuii-
try.
There is no question what the influence
upon the setting of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. will be when the entire south SIDE
passes into public ownership Some sug
gestion of what that will mean is to be
found in the plans already adopted for
the Improvement of the portion now
owned by the government. 1t is pro-
posed to devote the whole OF the tri-
angular space bounded by Pennsylvania
avenue, 14th. 18th and f streets 20 park
purposes and have the first of the three
proposed executive buildings stand south
of E street. In other wor1s, the whole
Of one Of the five squares just purchased
by the government is to be given UP to
what might be termed civic improvement.
1t cannot be expected that any other
owner except the government could carry
on improvements on such scale of mag
nificence, and with such beginning it
can readily be imagined what the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue will look
like in the course of time.

ONE FAULT IN BUILDING.
What Inspection Of Chicago's New
CITY Hall Disclosed.

The committee of experts appointed to
examine Chicagos new city hall build
ing. following the charges of graft and
skimping that had been made, has just
turned In its report, says Brick. 1t is
Illuminating and interesting. Those
charges were made by an eX-employe,
probably to ''get even with some one and
perhaps inspired or backed up by politi-
clans who had some one or some meas
ure to defeat. However, there is no
doubling the earnestness, honesty and
high standing of the experts who inves-
tigated the charges and the building.
These gentlemen find that there were
superintendent, inspectors, overseers and
foremen enough. employed by the city.
by the architects (men at the very head
Of their profession) and by the contract
ors, to have everything absolutely we'll
done. The design, the steel, the stone,
the fireproofing tile, all those details,
could not be improved upon-were per-
fectly done. Only one fault of any inn
portance was found: the cementing-the
concrete that was to be poured in be-
tween the steel columns and their terra
Gotta tile protection-had been skimped;
the columns were not thoroughly covered
with good concrete.
In all that great building that was the
one structural detail that had been slight
ed, and an important one, and that in
spite of the splendid superintendent and
inspection to which the building had been
subjected. Which simply goes to sup
port the contention of some of our best
builders, that it is next to impossible to
secure perfect concrete work 1t is the
one item that can easily be skimped, and
that is almost invariably skimped. At it's
very best its behavior is always prob
lematic, and when skimped or scamped it
is extremely hazardous. 1t is the cheap
est form of construction only when cheap
y, poorly done. And cheap concrete ac-
counts for the colIapses and building
that have become SO very
common. AS result Of these building
troubles and this last investigation it
would seem a wise policy indeed to leave
something that is sc hard to get right
strictly alone, or at least out of impor-
liant places in important buildings. II
they ran poor concrete or didn't put it
where it was intended in a building so
inspected as was the city hall,
imagine how concrete Is used in the great
majority of buildings. where the only
moral check is the very occasional and
too often merely perfunctory visit of
city building inspector.
