Gated at 1903 1908 New York avenue only

hotel takes its name from that popular
driveway. 1t is in the same neighborhood
as the State, War and Navy departments,
the White House offices and the Corcoran
Gallery of Art, and since 1t is intended
to be hotel for men, it is probable it
will draw a material part of it's patron
age from the employees in these buildings.

rection Of the same firm, is four stories

Favor Permanent Roadway Plan.
At the regular meeting of Eureka
Grange, No. 1T, of Chillum, Prince
GEORGES county, held recently, resolutions
were passed indorsing the proposed bill to
be introduced in the Maryland legislature
by State Senator Charles a. Wells, au-
thorizing a bond issue Of 100000 for the
construction of permanent highways in
Prince George county. The resolutions
Ter, and while considerable discussion re-
suited. there was but little opposition
The meeting was held with Lewis r. Mil
Ter, master of the grange, presiding. The
advocates of the bond issue point to the
fact that the construction of substantial
highways throughout the county will
greatly enhance the value of property
adding thousands of dollars to the as
sessable basis. and that only a small adj
ditional tax, which will be borne equally
by all the taxpayers, will be required to
meet the interest on the bonds and pro-
vide sinking fund for their redemption.
There Is, however, some opposition, be-
l:eved to be based principally on political
considerations. and it IS said that an
effort will be made to have the bill author
iZing the bond issue referred to the vot-
ers Of the county for ratification. Sena-
tor Wells has introduced several bills de-
signed to reduce the expenses of the
county, and he claims that the saving thus
effected will materially assist in the pay
ment OF the interest money The tax
rate in Prince Georges county is $1.14 on
the 500, and it is believed that this rate
is beyond that required for the economi-
cal management of the county's govern
ment.

Money Levied Two Years Ago.

The money for the road was levied by
the county commissioners in March, 1910
the property owners filing bond to pay
their portion Of the cost.
After the levy was made the legisla-
ture passed what is known as the Wells
road law, which transferred the jurisdic-
ton OF county roads from the county
commissioners to board of road d.
rectors. The county commissioners adj
vertised for proposals, but when appiiea-
fion was made to the state roads COM
,,,ission in Baltimore for specifications
proposed bidders were informed that the
Commission did not recognize the county
commissioners as >the proper authorities
TO construct the road, and the latter, 1t

turn over the money levied to the ROAD
directors AZ a result the levy, amount
ing TO about $4,000, was never expended

HYATTSVILLE, February II, 1872.
Otway B. Zantzinger of this place has
purchased the entire tract of land in
northwest Hyattsville known as Johnson
& Wines addition to Hyattsville. Mr..
Zantzineer left for Florida last week, but
before leaving authorized the announce
Inent of the sale.
The tract contains over 100 acres and
is situated in the section that is eS-
pected to develop with the natural
growth of the town. The base ball
grounds are in part of Mr.. Zantzinger's
purchase, but he stated that this will
probably be converted into a park for
an athletic field. AS soon as spring ar
rives Mr.. Zantzinger will open the streets
and construct sidewalks. He contem-
plates building a number of dwelling
houses. These houses will be connected
with the water mains and sewer system.
Mr.. Zantzinger has recently renovated
Bonnie Brae the property at one time
owned by the late F. H Smith, whose
son. Z. Quincy Smith, is president of the
Union Savings Bank of Washington. The
improvements cost Mr.. Zantzinger ABOUT
$4,000. He has for several years been
interested in suburban real estate and is
responsible for the development of Capt.
tol Heights, Prince Georges county, and
several adjacent subdivisions.
