may be commenced the first thing next

IF the street Is put through to the
District line" said one property owner
yesterday, I'VE will see Sixteenth street
built up to that point with fine resi-
dences within the next five years. The
broadest residence street in the world
160 feet wide-it is an ideal place for
fine dwellings. There are no car lines on
the street itself and nothing to bring in
or attract commercial element. Be-
sides, all sales contracts for Sixteenth
street property carry in them noncom-
mercial clauses.
1T is to be hoped the appropriation Of
81, 900 for the grading and macadamizing
Of the street to the District line will be
passed next session. This will mean a
very material step toward the culmIna-
ton of the project to push the street
in a broad road clear through to Gettys-
burg. ..-.
State Senator Blair Lee, Of Montgom-
cry County, Nd, head Of the good roads
movement in his State, promised US last
winter that II the District would send the

would push 1t the remainder of the way

to let such an opportunity slide by"

A quick recovery from the slump Of
the preceding week was evidenced in the
last three days Of this week in the SUBJ
urban real estate market. Massachu-
sets Avenue Heights, Sixteenth Street
Heights, the Glover Sixteenth street sub
division, and other outlying properties
picked up noticeably in the last few days,
following the break in the hot spell.
The Sixteenth street properties are still
pointed to banner seasons, according to
the statements of real estate brokers
who have them in charge. E. ]. Tot
ten, who is handling the Glover prop
critics, reports constantly increasing In
terest, and expects to sell the first part
of the subdivision out before the sum-
mer season is closed.
Robert Heater, who is selling the large
Sixteenth Street Heights property, re-
ports sales with increasing frequency,
and the grading operations there are
rapidly adding to the attractiveness Of
the place to homeseekers.
Much depends, in the minds Of property
holders, on the attitude Of Congress next
winter on the proposition to extend Six
teenth street to the District line. An
appropriation of S1T1,0oo for the purpose
passed the House last session, but was
hung up in the Senate. 1t is hoped that

That the recent hot wave had its effect
on auction as well as private sales OF
real estate is evidenced by the compare

auctioneers and owners are becoming
convinced that the best way to dispose
OF high-priced residential property is
through private sale. AS q matter of

But II the auction is poor means of

for sales of inexpensive residential par

This fact has been demonstrated a
number Of times in recent weeks, when
valuable business holdings have been
sold under the hammer. In many cases

STATE COMMISSION ON
HIGHWAYS PLANS WORK
Committees Wishing Aid or Instruc-
ton Must Get Applications in
Early.

Much interest has been taken in
the experimental road work carried
on by the state highway commission.
In this work the state highway COM
mission assists local communities to
build roads to the extent OF furnish
ing, without charge, a steam road
roller and other heavy machinery, a
man TO run same, and a man to take
charge of the job. The object of this
Is TO give those communities under
taking this form of construction the
benefit of the use of modern equip
ment to demonstrate the best meth
DDS OF construction.
AS the amount Of machinery
which the state highway commission
has consists OF but nine outfits, the
requests made the past season have
been far greater than It was possible
to fuIhll.
In order to get the work planned
as much ahead as possible for the
coming season, the commission will
hold a number of meetings or hear
ings. at which commissioners and
others interested IN having this work
undertaken in their neighborhoods
should appear when an opportunity
will be given them to explain to the
commission their needs.
AS soon as these requests are re-
ceived the commission will make up
It's program Of work for the coming
season, and when this Is done 1t is
difficult to arrange for other places.
so that those contemplating such
work should have a hearing as soon
as possible.
The exact dates of the hearings
before the commission. which will
be held IN it's Office at Springfield.
can be obtained by addressing
communication to the state highway
commission. Springfield. III. 1t is
probable that the first meeting will
be held the latter part of February
or first Of March.
In addition to furnishing machin-
cry. where the freight rate is not
too high to make 1t prohibitive,
crushed stone is furnished from the
penitentiaries free of charge except
for transportation. In the past two
years about $50. 900 cubic yards of
rock have been distributed from the
state penitentiaries and It is hoped
that a somewhat larger amount will
be available for the coming two years.
