NEW SUBDIVISION PLANNED
IN NORTHWEST SECTION
Area to Be Opened Extending Into Maryland
Along Line Of Massachu-
sets Avenue.

extension from Wisconsin avenue to the
District line is now public property. IL
Is not proposed by the men represented
by Mr.. Walker to have Massachusetts
avenue stop at the District line. for it Is
their intention to open broad connecting
thoroughfares through theiy property.
one in northwest direction, which Will
connect with the cd Maryland highway
known as the River road, and another In
southern direction, passing along the
banks of the distributing reservoir on
the Conduit road and thus providing di-
rect connection with that thoroughfare
to Great Falls.
Trolley Line Will Tap Property.
1t is expected that active work will be
begun in preparing the land for the loca-
ton of homes as soon as the pending
bill becomes a law, which gives the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany the right to build a branch line
from it's tracks at 18th and Calvert
streets along Calvert street and over the
Rock Creek bridge to Macomb street.
along that thoroughfare to Massachusetts
avenue west Of Hamilton Circle, and
thence along the avenue to the District
line.
This new center Of pr opposed population,
1t is ascertained, is half mile nearer
the White House than Chevy Chase
Circle. The land, however, has not been
developed, owing mainly to Its fnaccessi-
bility. Some years ago, when the Ameri-
can University was projected. subdi-
vision known as University Heights was
made in the vicinity, and a number OF
houses have been built there. 1t is be-
lieved the opening of Massachusetts ave-
nue. and the building of the car line will
make the new property attractive to
many more home builders. The improve
ments will result also in opening a route
in an entirely new direction to the pic
turesque region of the Potomac and Great
Falls

The announcement Of two large building
enterprises planned for the coming sea-
son Is of interest entirely aside from the
favorable indication afforded Of the state
OF the market. The natural conclusion TO
be drawn from the announced plans OF
the men who build houses for the market
is that in their opinion at least there Is a
demand. One builder proposes to start in
the near future the building Of about one
hundred houses. Obviously this builder
believes purchasers will be found for his
houses. else they would not be supplied.
But In addition to the light which is
thrown upon the state OF the market, 1t
Is also significant that all Of these pro-
posed houses belong to the class of small
homes which sell for $4,000 and for $1,000.
The scene of one of these building opera
lions Is to be on Harvard street between
Georgia avenue and Sherman avenue
northwest, while another is in the vicinity
tol street northeast. The houses are to he
Of brick. two stories In height and con-
tanning six rooms. with, OF course, what
are called modern improvements. which
means bathrooms and the interior fittings
common in current house building.
II also may be noted In this connection
that Of recent years there has been q
notable increase In building OF this class
custom. or the habit, OF buying houses in
stead Of renting them.
People Provide for Future.
1t may also be noted that the home buy
ers are not confined to the well-to-do.
but that people OF moderate circumstances,
OF slender means and resources, are fortify-
ing themselves against the chances and
the changes OF the future by securing
the title TO the houses in which
they live. 1t is well within the
memory of men OF the present genera
ton that the opportunities in this
line have widened. Houses are built
and are put on the market at moro
moderate figures than was possible few
years ago.
This Is especially the case with what are
called the cheaper class of homes, which
means simply that houses OF medium
size and cost are now supplied to meet the
demand Of families Of limited incomes.
Ii is evident that the cost OF placing such
houses on the market has steadily de-
creased In spite OF the increase in the
cost of building material and the advance
In wages At the present time new houses
are on the market which are sold as low
as s.. 200. They are to be found on La
mont stree. near Georgia avenue. AM

> Although Ell Paso Is a Texas town. II
is none the less the metropolis OF New
Mexico, and is the commercial center OF
the greatest artificial irrigation project
now being carried forward in this coun-
try. In fact, Ell Paso is the commercial
capital of an immense region, since, In
all the territory from San Antonio to
Los Angeles, a distance of about 1900
miles, and from Pueblo to the heart of
Mexico. another 1900 miles. there is no
other city as large or as commercially
important as Ell Paso.
1t is as il the city Of Knoxville, Tenn.

States east of the Mississippi river. AL
though a great deal OF the country sur
rounding Ell Paso is very sparsely set
tied, and although much of 1t is Next
can, and not American. territory, yet, on
account OF its isolation, FL Paso is, in
fact, a true metropolis, and as such is
rapidly increasing I'm prosperity and
prestige.
1t was peculiarly fitting, therefore. that
last October the joint Jubilee of the citi-
zens of New Mexico and Arizona. cele-
b. ating the admission of the territories
into the Union, was held at Ell Paso. 1t
was significant that at that celebration
there were five governors present, each
of them representing state In whole or
in part commercially tributary to FL
Paso. They were the governors of Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona of the United
States and Of Sonora and Chihuahua of
Mexico.

of the largest artificial irrigation project

On Georgia avenue above Harvard street
are to be found twenty five hundred dol
lar houses, while on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. between 18th and 14th streets south
each.
Explanation Is Twofold.
The explanation Of the change which
has taken place in the cost Of houses is
twofold. Building lots and plots Of land
within the closely built sections of the
city have been taken out of the specu-
lative market. People no longer specu-
late in lots. When they buy a lot they do
SO with the intention Of improving, not
holding 1t for a rise.
Then again the method of building has
changed. Individual house building, ex
cept in case of the larger class of resi-
dences, Is now done only rarely A
large number are built at one time and
under one direction, thus making the saw
ing which is a part OF all wholesale
transactions as compared to retail. The
houses not only cost less money under
such circumstances but 1t Is possible to
place them on the market on more favor
able terms, as the large operators are
able to make use of the second trust pa
per which represents the portion Of the
deferred payments over and above the
usual amount Of "a first trust.
Lowering of Cost May Continue.
1t seems probable the market for
houses in this city is such that the proc
ess Of lowering the cost will be contin-
ued and that it will be possible to erect
houses within a reasonable distance from
the city's center and within the zone OF
a single car fare which can be bought
by men who arc dependent upon a daily
wage of the current size. In order to do
this the total cost to the purchaser It
is estimated, ought not to exceed ST. Uo,
which Is about $500 less than the lowest
prevailing price.
Homes Of that cost and less are being
built in the general vicinity Of the city.
especially in the adjoining territory in
Virginia and Maryland. But there is still
unoccupied land nearer the city which. It
is thought. will be utilized in this FASH
ion. At any rate. as long as home buy
ers are In the market and the demand for
new houses continues ii may be conclud-
ed that men who have the money v'll
endeavor to meet the want and will build
just such houses that can sold al
such prices as the demand calls for.

Apples are grown in the northern part
Of the state. with the aid of only gravity
irrigation. but the larger commercial
plantations are found in the south, espe-
cially in the Membres valley, the Mesilla
valley and in the country around Ros-
well. Peaches are grown with great profit
in the irrigated districts OF the Rio
Grande and at Carlsbad.
Other irrigation projects in New Mexico
are the Hondo and the Carlsbad projects.

project provides for the diversion ami
