.inanciers of this city twenty years ago

what they then paid for it. The same is
true of transactions taking pace here
almost daily in newly developing bust
ness sections. Let me remind you that
while real estate values f1uctuate slowly,
they change as surely as any other val
ues in the world and there is a continue
Gus shifting of values in all large cities
where there is progress and development.
1t is an invariable rule that large ad-

the city means corresponding depreS-
sion and shrnkage in values in another.
Again, in the sale Of small homes to

chaser pays a much higher price than
does the cash buyer. So that it would be

Formal protest against the passage OF

day in a letter sent to Representative Ben

Mr. Heiskell stated his objections in de-
tail and under separate headings, as
follows:
MY objections to the passage Of such
a bill are:
FIRST, that the proposed legislation is
inquisitorial, seeking TO make public prop
erty of purely private business transac-
tons;
Second, the bill is undemocratic. in
that il interferes with the right Of citizens
TO manage and handle their property

this bill would impose;

PROPERTY
FOR BUSINESS USES
Cornice and Tin Shop to Be
Located at 1907 E Street.
Other Changes.

A change in the use Of the property at
11O7 e street will follow the change in
the ownership which occurred during the
week. For many years this four-story
structure with its broad frontage was
used for the printing business, but in re-
cent months 1t has been unoccupied. 1t
is now the property of Ernest Gichner. to
whom it was transferred by Randolph T.
Warwick.
. II is the intention of Mr.. Gichner to
adapt the building for the use Of acornice
and tin shop. Mr. Gichner's present bust
ness place is at 4O6 18th street and he is
joining tine movement which, in anticipa-
ton of the action of the government IN
acquiring additional ground on the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue, Is causing q
general shifting of business plants which
have been for so many years In that loca-
ton.
Mr. Gichners new business place will be
Just west of the building which has just
been erected by the Perpetual Building
Association at the northwest corner OF
nth and e streets northwest, and where
the offices of the company will be re-
moved as soon as the building Is ready.
Across the street at the southwest cor
ner of 18th and E streets Is the site Wnicn
was recently acquired by r. T. Warwick
and where 1t is understood he expects to
erect hotel for men.
During the past week also couple OF
pieces of property known as 507 and JO9
18th street and in the same square as the
Gichner purchase was bought by VIII
liam H. Turton. One of the buildings on
the property is used as a dwelling and the
other for business purposes.
1t is said to he Mr.. Turton's intention to
remodel the dwelling for business pur-
poses The entire holding has frontage
of fifty feet and depth on one line of one
hundred feet. The entire area contains
8, 7Oo square feet and II is understood the
/, consideration was about $4,000.
