OTYS HOUSING SHORTAGE HAS INCREASED HOME OWNING :

and embarrassing housing shortage that has prevailed in Wash
increasing number of HOME-OWNERS in this CITY, The
isng evil has been great that has FORCED men to BUY

Many of these home-buye goaded by the stern neces

Homes UNDER WAY
THROUGHOUT CITY

Quietly. yet slowly and surely,
building in Washington is growing
apace with the tremendous demand
for living accommodations. Apart
ments and homes are being erected
in all sections OF the city IN great
volume. number Of apartments
are being built in outlying sections
that few years ago were given over
entirely to bungalow and detached
home development.
In addition 70 the new homes and
apartments many contracts have
been let for the remOdeling and en-
larging Of present homes and apart
ments. A few Of the latter, built
only a few years ago, are being re-
modelled TO twice and thrice their
original size.
It Is estimated that approximately
J, 900 separate homes are now under
construction here. Many Of these
are for private owners, although sew
eral firms arc building groups Of
| from twelve to one hundred homes 20
be placed on the market
In Petworth nearly 400 new homes
are nearing completion. The Arms
/ leigh Park enterprise, just east Of
| Connecticut avenue and a short dis
tsnce north Of Pierce Mil road COM
prises about 200 detached homes, and
is the largest single home building
project ever undertaken in the Dis
trict.
Saurs addition Is witnessing the
building Of several blocks Of semi
bungalows. Numerous detached and
semi detached homes are being built
in the vicinity Of the Soldiers Home.
One Of the most prominent apart
ment hotels In the upper part OF the
downtown section has just let con-
tract for the remodeling Of its build
ing, which will more than double the
original capacicty. Plans have been
drawn and bids asked for the con-
struction Of another hotel and apart
ment TO be built near Fifteenth street
and New York avenue, only few
short blocks from the heart Of the
business district.
The construction Of new office
buildings Is not being neglected. The
new Ansberry building Is a notable
example OF large business buildings
now under way. Work has also been
begun on another eleven-story Office
building near the Department Of JUS
tice. Plans have been drawn and
bids asked for a third large Office
building to be built in the downtown
section north Of F street.
what effect this building work
will have on housing conditions In
Washington IS problematical. Un-
qUestiOnably IL will greatly relieve
the present shortage ofSHving quar-
ters. In the spring, when those homes
and apartments now under way are
completed, there should be a consld-
erable lessening OF the tension now
present in the housing situation.
It is very doubtful, however, II the
total of the homes and apartments
now under way and planned for toe
immediate future VIII prove any
where near sufficient to meet the tTe.
mendous demand that has existed In
Washington for nearly three years.
There is need for still more building
here.
