GEORGETOWN RESIDENCE
TO CONTAIN A THEATER
William 7. Brown Builds on
Grounds of the MackaII
Estate.

An attractive house Of colonial type
has been built at the southeast corner
of 31st and Dumbarton streets, George
town. by William T. Brown. It is now
about finished. It occupies a portion OF
the ground about the old residence known
as "Dumbarton." the property Of DR..
Louis Mackall, and owing to the style OF
architecture which has been carried out
it is well adapted to the surroundings.
1t will be occupied by Mr.. Brown. He
is son of the late s. Thomas Brown.
for many years the president OF the
Farmers and Mechanics National Bank.
AS Mr.. Brown has made a study Of
sleight -of-hand and sometimes delights
his friends by giving exhibitions of his
skill as a magician, provision has been
made in the house for such occasions. and
on the upper story little theater has
been provided with a stage, which will be
specially fitted for such entertainments.
On the same floor is study and a bill
lard room.
The other two floors, with their ample
rooms, are arranged as Is usual in private
residences Of the larger type.

IS UNUSUAL HOUSE.
Scotch and Spanish Mingle in
Massachusetts Home.

An unusual type of house has re-
Gently been built on the coast of Massa-
chusetts. at Cohasset. This residence is
built on the long, rambling lines of the
old-time baronial halls; its great, beamed
center hall distinctly recalling the Saxon
halls of SCOTS 'Ivanhoe." But the broad.
red. Spanish tile roofs, the wide caves,
white stucco walls. jutting balcony and
deep terraces hint especially of the villas
Of Spain.
The main floor consists Of three sections
laid longitudinally. The center Is the
great living hall, which extends the width
Of the house. and together with the lobby
and staircase occupies over one-third of
the length. This hall opens by means of
a French window upon d rear terrace of
tile, the second story being built out over
this terrace and supported by massive,
square, concrete pillars.

Advice to House Owners.

The secret of success in real estate as
a permanent investment is in making it
attractive for the purposes to which it
is to be put, says the Grand Rapids
Press. Resident property that is OBJ
viously down at the heel, with sag in
the steps, the paint looking rusty and
the paper on the inner walls in strips
will not be good renter, no matter how
desirable may be its location. The same
property with the repairs made. fresh
paint, fresh wall paper and a thorough
cleaning. will never lack a tenant and at
good rates. 4 house without a bath
room or furnace and electricity may
be slow, and probably would be. but give
it the modern improvements and 1t is
never empty, with an increase in the
rental rates that will represent 100 per
cent on what the improvements may
cost. 1t is the same with business prop
erty. The property must be made suit
able for the purposes to which it is to be
put and made attractive.

The Difference.

Just as was the case during the week
in regard to the question of universal
transfers on street car lines. the recog-
niZed need for extensions will also come
before the utilities commission, which has
been given ample powers. Already at
tention has been given to this subject,
and information is being prepared by the
railroad companies to be laid before the
of extending car lines into Rock Creen
Park.
Thus far it is not contemplated to have
the cars go much beyond the borders of
this domain Of the people. as the purpose
is to provide the means of reaching diff
ferent points of the park and from both
sides. In effect it is designed to have
cross-country lines, with, however, gap
in their course the width of the park, so
that people coming from various sections
of the city can be carried to convenient
points in this great stretch of woodland.
The commission has the power not alone
to investigate the need of such extern
sions. but also to determine whether or
not the railways can reasonably be re-
quireJ to build them. The power con-
ferred by Congress to require from the
companies such provisions is also be-
lieved to carry with it the right to grant
In like manner the commission can au-
thorize the issue Of securities to meet
the cost.
Points Of Congestion.
In another particular the public con-
venience and interest will be consulted
by considering plans for relieving what
are now looked upon as congested sec
lions Of street railway traffic as is found
at 18th and G streets and 10Th street and
New York avenue. It is also proposed to
devise some plan for making more direct
the car line that now comes down 18th
street and along e street and then
crosses Pennsylvania avenue at 18th
street. The project of an extension west
Of Connecticut avenue at Calvert street
will also be before the commission as
well as one for the building of cross
town line.
the city ought to be brought nearer to
Potomac Park, and no doubt there are
other projects which will be called to the
attention of the Commissioners. as might
be expected in a city which has devel-
oped as rapidly as Washington has dur
ing the past few years. In spite of the
street railroad building that has been
done it is evident from the work already
cut out for the commission there is
a demand for more, which may be re-
garded as rounding out Of the existing
systems.
Plan for System.
1t is the opinion Of some who have
studied the subject with care that what
is needed as a preliminary step is the
adoption of a plan for a street railway
system for the city that will provide not
alone for present but for future needs.
Then, as the occasion arises the sys-
tenn can be developed and new lines
and extensions provided. all in accord
ance with a carefully Worked-out scheme
which will be understood by the public
and provided for by the railroad com
panies.
