Erected Between 18th
and 18th Streets.

Announcement was made today of the
completion of plans for the construction
OF another large Office building in the
business center, on + street between 18th

out-of-town capitalists is now adjusting
the details of the transaction, by which
title is taken to the structure formerly
occupied by Lewis Johnson & Co, bank
ers, at 1919 F street, and the old struc-
ture adjoining, at 1921 F street. and work
Will be started at once in razing both
buildings, SO that the site may be cleared
and ready for the beginning of actual
building operations.

Will Cost 5000. 900.

for building ten stories in height, and
when 1t is completed the building and
ground will have cost approximately
100000. Arrangements already have
been made to lease all Of the Offices
above the first floor to the interstate COM
merce commission, which at the present
time has several of its bureaus in quar-
ters in the America National Bank build
ing. while other bureaus are in rented
buildings scattered through the business
section Of the city.

mated as the Interstate building The OF
