the keen interest in real estate Of
ferings shown by the public al this

Speaking of their success with Col

the world will go to pieces IL it Is
not located In the path of the city's
normal expansion. Colmar Manor has
the proper location TO profit by the
unprecedented expansion OF the city

"Of course. an added reason for the
rapid sale OF Colmar Manor lots was
the extremely low price and easy
terms on which they were offered.
This same price and the same terms
apply on the lots now being offered
in Colmar Manor addition. These
lots also carry the same improve

wise restrictions which insure the
right class of neighbors to every
lot buyer.
I'VE have never had a development

appreciated, as shown by the sales
record, as CoImar Manor. We antici-
pate as great a demand for Colmar

our original offering last month"

States Position.
What he is seeking, he mads
clear. is not to deprive Washington
OF any street railway facilities, but
to add to those facilities. He objects
to this company's running what
amounts to through trains for passen-
gers and freights through the streets
and avenues OF Washington. refusing
to make stops where the public con-
venience and interest demand.
He objects. too. to the fact that
this company. as he is informed, has
never obtained at the hands OF Con-
gress or the proper authorities the
right to use the streets.
Must Get Franchise.
Mr.. Cary says that IL the company
Is to continue to use the streets, then
it must take seps to obtain a fran
chise at he hands OF Congress and the
District government, which Will do
something more than grant a mere
right of way.
The public interest must be pro-
tected in such a franchise" said Mr..
Cary. Good service and q salts

sured. The company hasn't q shadow
of right to use Washington streets,

Huge Sums Spent for Docks and
Terminals Puts Leagues Prin-
cipIes to Test.

The striking trend toward state
ownership of the great public utilities
has just been demonstrated by the
decision of the United States govern
ment to begin the construction Of
docks and warehouses along the At
lantic coast for it's own use and OPP
grafton at an expense of $500, 600 900.
This program has become indis-
pensable because of the wal and the
big shipping problem it has raised, but
with the change of ideas and the
growth of political movements like
the Nonpartisan League advocating
Just such things, it is not farfetched
to assume that this gigantic move
f~oreshadows permanent changes in
our national life. A strong repre-.
sentation of Americas new political
clements in the government during
the war means that all such moves
will be made permanent.
Government docks and warehous.
es giving service at cost are prac-
tically Indispensable for our foreign
commerce after the war and would
constitute an important factor in the
food problem and the prosperity Of
the farmer.
Several years ago the state Of
Louisiana voted $25, 900, 900 bonds to
build terminal warehouses. 1t now
has modern warehouses for storing
100000 bales of cotton and yards con-
tanning 20 miles of track. In addition
there is a s~tate-owned terminal grain
elevator of 100000 bushels capacity.
The state of So. Carolina is doing a
similar service for it's cotton growers.
California has dock and warehouse IA
cilities worth $3.50, O00, 900 at San
Francisco. Oakland, Los Angeles,
and Seattle have made great progress
in developing publicly owned port
and terminal facilities, warehouses,
cold storage plants and terminal ele-
vators. The Dominion Of Canada has
built four terminal elevators to
serve it's western wheat growing
provinces, having a combined ca
pacity of S,500,0O0 bushels.
The National Nonpartisan League
in advocating state elevators, ware.
houses and cold storage plants, is
following a we'll blazed trail and is
merely asking a business necessity
for the farmers.
