COST OF sANAToRIUM
TREATMENT.

According Ito figures contained in the
annual report of Dr. H. L. Barnes,
Superintendent of the Rhode Island
Sanatorium. the earnings of the ex-
patients of that institution during the
year 1911 would amount to over $685.
600. Tits is a sum three times as.
large as that spent each year for main
'tenance of the institution, including
four per cent interest and deprecia-
ion charges.
The actual earnings in 1911 Of ITO
ex-patients were obtained by DR..
Bares. The se ranged from $500 to
s31. 90 per week, the total earnings for
the year an Mounting to $102,752. On
this basis, DIR. Barnes computes the
figures above given. He says now
ever, "While institutions for the cure
of tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation of far-ad-
vanced cases would be still better in
vestments".
Out of total of 4e, $50 hospital days
treatment given, 39,147; or eighty-four
per cent were free, the treatment cost
ing the state on an average $500 per
patient. Out of 1873 free cases investi
gated, fifty-six had no families and nc
income on admission to the sauator
ium. Otu of 1872 patients having
homes, the number in the family aver
aged So and the average family earn
ings we're |s5.46. In f1fty-nine cases
the family had no income, and in only
five cases were there any savings
none of which amounted to as much
as $500.

FAMILIES MOVING HERE ADD
TO SALES AND RENTALS
City Not Overbuilt, and Let-Up Last Spring
Has Had Good Effect on
Both Markets.

The active condition Of the real estate
market finds expression at this season
of the year in the rental department and
also in the sale of houses. Both phases
of the realty business, however, repre-
sent practically the same causes, namely.
the growth in the population and the i'm
provement in business. 1t is quite evil
dent the surplus Of suites in apartment
houses and houses for rent is mainly
being taken by newcomers. although an
expansion in the way of living has no
doubt helped to swell the numbers. 1t
Is also evident that the Old-time practice
Of people leaving apartments or houses
for the newly built contributes to fill
up the newer buildings. Still, after all,
what counts in this particular in the real
estate market is the increase in the popu-
lation. All the other elements and tend
encies have their influence, but the most
potent are the families that are coming
to the city to make their homes here.
City Not Overbuilt.
1t is quite evident to market observers
that the city is not overbuilt. 1t was
feared last spring the supply of houses
and apartments was greater than the de-
mand. 1t was probably due to such an
estimate that operations slackened some
what and the policy was adopted Of going
slow until the population had chance to
catch up with the tide of building.
This conservative course, it is recog-
niZed. left the market in a much health
Ter condition than if housing accommoda-
tons of all sorts had been recklessly
multiplied. In addition the influence Of
the Improvement in general business con-
ditiOnS throughout the country Is felt In
this city. However, whatever the cause.
the effect is plain enough.
Signs for rent are disappearing from
the fronts of unoccupied houses, while in
stead of vacancies in apartment houses
waiting lists are being opened. The ex-
perience of an extensive builder may be
taken as typical of the general expert
ence Harry Wardman stated recently
that in the series of apartment houses on
r street between 14th and 18th streets,

HOME FOR H. G. F. CASTENS.
Macneil G. Macneil Award Contract
tn Randolph Jennings.

Contract has been awarded by Macneil
& Macneil. architects. to Randolph Jen-
nings for the erection of a residence 1or
Henry G. F. Castens. to be built on Emer-
son street near 14th street northwest.
The house is to be built OF tile. with
stucco exterior Of ivory color and heavy
Spanish roof Of red tile The first floor
will contain reception hall, living ROOM
dining room. glass-inclosed living porch,
kitchen, buffers pantry, etc On the Sec
ond floor will be four chambers and two
bathrooms, and in the basement servants
rooms, servants bath, laundry, storage
boiler and fuel rooms.
All rooms throughout the house will be
large and we'll lighted, and the finish will
be in white enamel and mahogany. Such
facilities as instantaneous water heater,
built-in refrigerator, shower baths, etc,
will be provided. The cost Of the
house when completed, exclusive of the
ground, will be about $4,000. 1t is the
intention of the owner to break ground
immediately.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-10-12

just completed, there are only eleven va
, cancies' in the total of 1876 suites. In the
large apartment house just finished and
located at 18th street and Columbia road
all but seven Of the sixty-nine suites nave
been taken.
Market for Houses.
Turning to another branch of the BUSH
ness, namely, the market for houses. Mr..
Wardman finds an equally encouraging
condition, as during the past four months
he has sold 40 houses. mostly Of the
two-story type. This experience of
change in the demand is not a solitary
one among the men who are engaged IN
adding to the number Of houses and
apartments. 1t is found the supply of liv-
ing accommodations is being rapidly TAX
en- up. and it is highly probable that by
the end Of the autumn season of renting
and buying the market conditions will be
a more general scale than has been the
case during the past season.
1t is also noted by those familiar with
the current market that 1t iS not mar
row in the sense that only certain kinds
and grades of property are in demand.
The big houses, where the rental figures
run into large sums, are also being rap
idly taken. and SO is the class of apart
ment houses known as the one-family
fiat, where only one suite is on a floor
more and higher figures than are usually
called for from fiat renters.
Wide Range of Prices.
The range of prices for those who wish
to have their own homes in this city,
whether in houses or in apartments, is a
wide one and is suited to the demand.
which represents practically every degree
of income showing that the people who
come to Washington to spend the winter
or longer or shorter time do not belong
to any one class. The rich and those in
moderate circumstances find the nation 8
capital suits their ideas of comfort and
convenience as a place of residence, while
others come here on account of business
or for other considerations. But whatever
the reason for the influx of population,
the people continue to come, and this
year is no exception to the rule.

Old Woods Retain Strength.

The natural impression is that new
wood is stronger than old. 1t has been
found, however, in a series of tests that
some white pine quarter of a century
old is materially stronger than new
wood. Pine is the wood on which the
experiments were made, but there is
no reason to suppose that oak. hard
pine or any other wood commonly used
in building would behave differently
All wood maintains its strength. except
as decay weakens it or fire and me-
chanical abrasion destroy it, Engi-
neers are already using wood for per-
manent service where it is kept under
water.

Drain Tile Should Be Porous.

Drain tile should be porous and laid
with open end joints and covered with a
layer of crushed stone or screened gray-
ell. Care should be taken to lay the tile
we'll below the finished floor of the cement
to insure dry floor, says the Building
Bulletin. When concrete footings are
used. the tile should be laid at the bot
tom and not at the top of the footings.
This will insure dry footings and prevent
the water accommodating outside the foot
1ngs and a few inches up on the stone or
brick wall before getting into the drain
tile. which is the case where tile is laid
on top Of concrete footings.

British Workmen Coming Here.

Expert WOrkmen are coming to this
country from Great Britain in large mum.
bers and this reduction of skilled work
men in that country. and the introduction
of them here. is having an influence on
the daily wage of the expert workman.
The tendency is to raise the wage in
Britain and lower it here. This state OF
affairs has emphasized the necessity OF
more technical and trade schools, in
which more thorough courses of instruc-
ton, requiring no small amount of study
and application to reach the proficiency
required to secure a certificate.

SEPTEMBER BUILDING
OFF IN NEW YORK
Decrease of % Per Cent in
That City Over Same
Month Last Year.

Building construction in seventy-four
cities in September shows a moderate
falling off in comparison with the same
month a year ago. Permits were taken
out in September in seventyfour leading
cities, according to official reports to
Construction News. for the erection of
1896 buildings. involving a total esti-
mated investment of $61. S70,S2S. against
20O2S buildings. aggregating in cost $66.
1853, 69S. a decrease of Odd buildings and
81, 99S, so, or per cent.
Notwithstanding this decrease in cost.
the showing for the month is good one.
as there were gains in forty-one cities
and losses in thirty-three. There were
gains in the majority of the representa-
tive cities. while losses were sustained in
cities in which tremendous activity has
been the rule recently, or the cities were
at such remote points or SO widely scat
tered that they have very little bearing
on the main situation.
