rooms and bath. A porch will extend
across the entire front. The house proper
will be -twenty-eight by thirty-two feet In

A second bungalow of similar design Is
to be built for ]. 8. Hahn OF the geo

the continued northward march of bust
ness along Connecticut avenue. With the
exception of one or two long-esta blisfed
shops all of the business growth on Con-
necticut avenue has been confined to the
section between X street and Dupont
Circle, but today's sale gives promise
that business has leaped the barrier OF
Dupont Circle, and now is likely to alb
serb property still farther within the con-
fines Of the present residential district.
The transaction consummated today
was announced by Shannon & Luchs, real
estate brokers, and it consisted OF the
sale for c. c. Milburn of the residence at
1920 Connecticut avenue. The purchasers
were c. o. and w. II. Towles. and 1t is

Signs of the Times.
Twenty years ago few persons would
have supposed that Connecticut avenue
could ever be brought within the domain
Of business. Families who invested their
money about that period in the splendid
residences Of that popular thoroughfare
did so in the confidence that 1t would be
one OF the distinctly fashionable thorough
fares Of the city for many years to come.
But the investors Of 1880 did not read the
signs Of the times correctly. Business FOL
lows the lines of travel, and in the gen.
eral advance of the store and Office north
westward, they were as surely bound to
creep out Connecticut avenue as they
were to go out 14th street. or 9th or 7th
| streets. 1t is not strange, therefore, to
| find the metamorphosis of Connecticut
| avenue from residences to business places
going on very rapidly. Already two en-
| tire squares on the west side of the ave-
| nue. are filled with business places, and
here and there along the east side former
dwellings, have been remodeled into busi-
ness offices in the lower floors and dwell
| ings or apartments above
Magruder, Demonet and Rauscher were
the pioneers in business in this portion
| Of Connecticut avenue Twenty years
served the rich and well-to-do of the
Ineighborhood. and made regulations and
acquired dollars out of fine groceries,
rich favored CONNECTIONS and the serving
of dinners fit to set before kings. Others
soon followed the pioneers. and the west
side of Connecticut avenue speedily be-
came a market place. With the coming

Other Transformation Proposed.
On some of the rental signs one reads
that the building will be remodeled to
suit the tenant. which means that it will
be transformed into business place
when the price therefor is forthcoming
While some OF, the old residences still main
tain their former conditions Of interior
comfort and splendor, the residence life OF
the locality has In a measure vanished
and given place to the shop and the
apartment house. In recent years the
metamorphoss has been going on quite
rapidly. Within a year four large resi-
dences above NJ street have been either
rebuilt or remodeled into business places.
This change will go forward now more
rapidly and probably in ten years. more
the residence as 1t was formerly known
in this portion OF Connecticut avenue Will
have disappeared, leaving church, the
British legation and q hotel as landmarks
of the old order of things.
Such changes have their pathetic side
In the breaking up OF old social nefghoor-
hoods and the creation of new environ
growth of cities. Business is the con-
queror. and the higher rental and advanc-
ing value Of property always drives out
the home and supplants 1t with the shop
and business Office. 1t Is g circumstance
that has occurred over and over again In
Washington and in every large and ex-
panding city.
Business Marks the Avenue.
Some Of the residents, however. still
have faith in the continuance of the
former condition of things. The Bradley
home, on the point between Connecticut
avenue and 10Th street has recently I'M
|dergone extensive improvement in the
shape Of private theater, with view
to making 1t for many years to come
seat Of entertainment and home comfort.
Quite likely the, upper end Of the avenue
nearest to Dupont Circle will be the last
to yield to the advance Of the commercial
movement. and yet, IL rurnor is to be
credited, the fine old house opposite the
Bradley mansion, on the east side of the
avenue, and fronting on the circle, Is to
/ be transformed into a business house.
In any event, business has marked
Connecticut avenue for It's own. because
of it's accessibility by the car line, and
because it needs more room for its OPP
erations Social life religious activity
and other claims must give way before It,
as they have been compelled to do In
other cases.
Aside from the sentimental and ira
| ditional considera lions OF the change, it
is sign of healthy growth. The COM
mercial needs of the city are keeping
pace with its advance in population. and
the home, church. private school and
ueighborhood atmosphere must give way
to the merchant and professional man.
It means nothing more than the rapid
, advance of the capital TO larger and larg-
er proportions in the growth and develop
ment of the nation and its resources.

which assessment Gov. Havley said,
averaged 20 per cent of the full cash
value over the entire state.
Mr.. Ratliff informed the board
that although Lewis county vas not
asking for a reduction in itu assess
ment, he would surely demand il

kind Of property, we're raised to our

that there would be but few reduc-
tions made in the assessments this
year and that If he did not desire to
stay during the full session. they
would see that Lewis county received
a square deal.
Mr.. Ratliff has made quile q study
