of ornamenting the lawns of new houses

Another year probably will be sufficient
to secure completion of the building pro-

is remaining in the square about enough
space for only thirty houses. The Prince

MAY BUILD ARCADE SIDEWALK
Novel Improvement Projected il
Minnesota CITY.

One of the most important and at the
same time narrowest thoroughfares of
st. Paul, Minn., is Robert street. Among
the propositions for widening this. one of
the most novel is that advanced by G..
H. Herrold, Office engineer of the city
engineering department. His idea
is to remove the present side
walks altogether. placing the curb
line at what is now the building
line, and provide sidewalks by building
arcades within the present building line.
BY this plan the buildings as a whole
need not be materially changed above
the first floor, but the show windows or
store fronts would be moved into the
building about twelve feet. The present
supporting columns under the front walls
would be replaced by columns of uni
form design for each entire block. for
the architectural effect. although 1t
would not be necessary for the support
of the buildings. This twelve feet would
then be finished off as an arcaded side
walk similar to those found in Chester,
England. and in Italy. Spain and France.
Concerning arcade sidewalks Mr. Her
rold saws: Their original development
was due. no doubt, to climatic condi-
tions, the warmth of the midday sun
making necessary this protection for
comforts sake. Arcade sidewalks are in
no way out of place in this northern
climate. They are a protection from the
rain and snow we'll the sun.
Pedestrians are safer from the accidents
OF the streets and would escape much
OF the dust and dirt. Show windows are
not exposed to the glaring light and can
be made much more effective. II may be
question: BILE whether there are any argu-
ments in favor of outside sidewalks in
retail district, and whether the man
who invented them has anything to his
credit

all members Of the renting department
of our office are working overtime to
meet the demands Of clients We are
finding no difficulty whatever in securing
tenants for all of the desirable apart
ments which we control and We also are
having "a heavy call for houses OF mod
crate prices.
1T is my recollection that not few
predictions have been made with each
passing building season TO the effect that
Washington is being oyerbult in It's
apartment houses, but so far as We have
been able to see there few If any
apartment buildings which are not paying
excellent returns upon the money invested
in them. An evidence of this fact is OF
fered in the record of real estate trans
fers in which nearly every week sees the
entry of one or more sales of properties
of this class. Uniformly good prices are
secured in the sales of apartments, ana
since the values are determined almost
wholly upon the rental incomes the fact
that high prices do obtain makes It OBJ
vious that the buildings must be well
filled with tenants.
Observations very closely along these
same lines also We're made yesterday In
the renting department of the office of
Thomas j. Fisher & CO. There 1t was
stated that the principal demand seemed
to he for apartments. though it was
stated indications already are that the
