vond the university to the District
bounds.
The opening up and improvement OF
Massa chusettS avenue nearly the entire
distance has already been done and a
good deal Of the property in the section
has been subdivided into building lots.
In fact, when the university project was
started several subdivisions of land were
made, but owing, mainly. it IS thought. to
the lack of communication with the city
and the want of ready accessibility the
improvements did not progress as rap
idly as was believed the character OF

TWO LOTS TRANSFERRED
Large Amount of Land and
Small Consideration
Prove Attractive.

Two additional transfers of unirnproyed
Hamr shire avenue were recorded during
the week which had the same features
that attracted the attention to the recent
transactions in the same locality. These
features were the large amount of land
and the small consideration as compared
with values in current transactions.
BY the papers recorded during the
week the American Security and Trust
Company transferred to David j. Duni-
gan a lot on the north side Of III street
between 18th and 18th streets. having d
frontage of fifty feet and containing 1,0iS
square feet. Also a lot on the north side
of G. street between I'D and o4th streets,
with dimensions of 62X91 feet and a total
area OF 5.G;. feet. The consideration
paid for both lots was $1,000. which is at
the rate of a little more than > cents
per square foot.
1t is expected when tie plan of pupnc
improvements in this section are carried
out that great changes will follow In the
uses of private property. When the drive
way along the banks of the river in Po-
tomac Park is extended northward to
Rock creek and thence up the valley OF
that stream to the Rock Creek fark 1t Is
anticipated the commercial uses OF that
portion of the Potomac river front Will
not be continued. 1T is also thought
probable the plant of the Washin ston
Gas Light Company VIII be removed
