STOLEN LIGHT COSTLY
TO BUILDING OWNERS
Dark and Improperly Ventilated Of
fees Mean Lower
Rents.

Space. irrespective of light air and ac-
cess. is of no value at all, but acres of
expensive floors have been and are being
added on the basis that it is The stolen
light is, of course. responsible for much
of this mistaken attitude. says the Con-
struction News. When a box of build
ing can be run up on site occupying 50
per cent of the area it looks like d lot of
valuable property on each floor. Much
of the interior is however. dependent for
light on side windows overlooking abut-
ting property.
Usually this is built upon later. and
then the space inside the building is
darkened and its value lessened. Sooner
or later the tenants are hurt and their
costs increased by artificial light. and
out they go. or get reduction of rental.
which sweetens their stay.
The west is far ahead of the east i'll APP
probation of this point. and is planning
buildings for light and air and access
on the basis that these command more
tenants and more rent. Western land
lords recognize that ii pays to sacrifice
a large part of the area of the site in
each building floor if higher rentals can
be secured for the net space. but more
particularly if the building be kept
full: and they realize that the less you
build to meet existing conditions the less
will be the loss II a change or removal
of the building becomes necessary

PLAN TO DISCONTINUE
FIXED MOVING DAYS
New System of Leasing Suggested
as Means to Accom-
plish End.

An effort is being made in a num-
Der of cities throughout the country
to do away with the May and October
eral throughout the year by datins
leases to start from any time during
the year. The rental committee of the
Chicago real estate board has the fol
lowing to say urging the abolition of
set moving days:
Get away from May and October first.
Make your leases to- expire on any day
in any month. like a fire insurance pol
icy. and the builder will have to get
in line. 1t will prolong the life of houses
and flats and redeem whole districts II
will make tenants more careful where
they move and when they move. They
will stay longer at less cost to them
selves and owners and get the benefit in
rent and good repairs.
Tney will take more interest and
pride in local affairs and become ac-
tive supporters of uplifting measures
and enemies of home and value destroy
ing influences. They will become better
acquainted and better friends with neigh
bors and make more effective the bond
of fellowship that comes from long asso-
citation. 1t will help the local merchant
school and church 1t will make for per-
manency and reputation things that up
hold values and where values are steady
and reliable 1t brings out the satisfied
cash buyers.

Would Be Expensive.

The widening of 10Th street as proposed
would be i rather expensive undertaking,
for it would involve the changing of the
vaults of the National Savings and Trust,
American Security and Trust and Union
Trust companies, portions of which are
located under the sidewalk for consid-
cradle distance out from the building line.
The widening also would involve the
changing OF the cellars of the Woodward
and other buildings in the block which
extend under the sidewalks.
The suggestion has been made that the
parking of automobiles along 10th street
and also on G street between 18th and
18th streets and on 18th street between
F street and New York avenue be pro
hibited as a means of relieving trafhc
congestion along those thoroushfares-
Those who favor such a regulation say
that parking space should then be pro-
vided about Lafayette, Mcpherson and
Franklin Squares. District officials admit
that the automobile parking problem in
the downtown business district Is a vex-
ing one, and are eXerting every effort to
find solution that will be fair to every
one concerned.

Odd Restriction on Massachusetts
"Tech" Property Stated in
Court Decision.

BOSTON. May 3o-The Massachusetts
Institute of Technology may sell its old
site. bounded by Boylston. Clarendon and

WIDENING OF STREET
IS AGAIN SUGGESTED
Propositions Being Discussed to Re
lieve Congestion of Vehicu-
lar Traffic.

With the change in the route OF the
motor herdic line. a further increase to
the ever-growins traffic along l"'h
street between New York avenue ana IL
street northwest has resulted and AGAIN
discussion OF the proposition TO WIDEN
the thoroushfare has been revived. Here
tofore the motor buses turned horth-
ward from Pennsylvania avenue INTO
Madison place, and thence east on II
street TO 18th street, on their north
bound trips. Within the past Few DAYS
however. a change has been made ana
the northbound buses now follow the
same route as those southbound-namely,
east on Pennsylvania avenue to loth
street and thence north. BY this ar
rangement both the north and south
bound buses utilize 18th street from
Pennsylvania avenue to Fl street. "here

SIGNS OBJECT OF ATTACK.
Trade Paper Urges Building Man
ayers to Stop Ugly DISPLAYS.

From Buildings and Building Management.
Concentrated action by managers of
business property could do much toward
the elimination of the unsightly signs in
business districts. The strict enforce
ment of clauses in your leases. which
prohibit the displaying of signs, except
of certain size and color. would be a
step forward. Put the prohibition so far
as it lies within your power on the
hideous canvas sign with vari-colored
letters and figures. Use your influence
to keep signs of this kind off of build
ings adjacent to yours. They cheaper
the street in which your building is To-
Gated. and are injurious to your build
ing.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-05-30
Traffic Is Congested.

This condition of affairs is brought
about BY the great number of automo-
biles which are parked on either side of
18th street. between II street and Penn
svlvania avenue every day during busi-
ness hours. 1t is seldom that there are
Ices than nftv machines beside the curbs
in this block. ---.,;.
Fifteenth street between Pennsylvania
avenue and Fl street is only fifty feet
wide The sidewalks on either side are
each thirty feet wide The suggestion
has been made that ten feet OF the sac
walk On either side be utilized for street
PURPOSES. This would give 10Th street a
width of seventy feet the same that 1t
has south of the intersection with Penn
sylvania and New York avenues me
sidewalk on either side would be twenty
feet wide which is the width of the
sidewalk on 18th street south of Penn
syIyapia avenue
