CRANDALL BUYS
"THE BEACON"
Apartments at 18th and
Calvert Go to Owner of
Theater Chain.

One Of the most important real
estate deals of the year was con-
summsted Thursday, when Harry NJ.
CrandaIl, owner of the Crsndall
theaters in Washington, purchased
the Beacon apartment house at
Eighteenth and Calvert streets
northwest for a price said to be
5000, 900.
The Beacon was, for many years,
considered unique among Washing
ton apartments by reason OF the
fact that architecturally II is a
"fiatiron building" occupying a tri-
angular plot OF ground directly fac
ing the intersection OF Eighteenth
street and Columbia road. An un-
usual coincidence lies in the. fact
that the Beacon is almost directly
across the street from the Knicker-
booker Theater, one OF the most i'm
portant links in the Crandall chain
of theaters.
II is Crandalrs intention imme
dlately to remodel the Beacon, in
stalling such improvements as are
needed to make II one of the most
attractive apartment houses in the
National Capital The sale was ex-
ecuted through the offices of c X

BusinessHouse
Shortage This
Fall Predicted
Lack of Building Operations
Expected to Cause
Congestion.

Predictions Of a shortage OF busi-
ness properties during the coming
fall are being made by local real
tors, who are urging those business
men who do not own their proper
ties to take steps to purchase prop
erty to house their respective bust
nesses. Many leases for local busI-
ness firms will expire in a few
months, and those in a position to
know the real estate market prCuict
that many of the renewals Will be
accompanied by demands for in
creased rentals in order that the
owners may collect a return on the
investment commensurate with the
increased value of the property.
Indications also point now to an
increase in the business of the city.
Many new stores are being estab-
lished by local people and some Of
the local realtors are reCeivins
many inquiries from out-of-town
firms asking for space. This will
serve to increase the demand, and
with practically no building of busi-
ness properties going on, due to a
multitude of causes, there is a like
lihood that some will find them
selves without store facilities un-
less they begin now to dig them
selves in permanently.
This increase of business opera
tions also means an increase in the
industrial pay roll. with consequent
demand for employees and accom-
panying increased prosperity.

Zoning and Building Heights Leading Realty Problems
REALTORS MOVE TO PREVENT
ZONE HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS

and Luchs: Leo d. Latimer. Harry
Wardman and William.L. BeaI of
the American Security and Trust
Company.
1t was pointed out by a local
realtor that as long as the city was
to be divided UP into zones, among
them commercial zones, that there
was no apparent need for restrict
ing the heights of buildings in the
commercial areas. With the pros
poets that the business interests OF
the city will increase materially
during the coming year, 1t was de-
clared that such a restriction would
hamper the development along this
line materially, because il would
prevent construction.
Every effort is being made to
awaken property owners of the city
to the Importance of the new zoning
law and to acquaint them with the
fact that they should present their
ideas to the zoning commission now
while it is considering the aues-
ton. The new law goes into effect
on September l, after which time
it will be too late for the property
owners to make a change without
considerable trouble and red tape.

Considerable concern is being
manifested in real estate and bust
ness circles here over the possibility
that buildings in the business area
of the city will be limited to
height of 11O feet by the zoning
commission. A movement has been
started by the local realtors as
sociation to prevent any such re-
striction. 1t is pointed out, that
under present day building costs 1t
would be impossible to make a bust
ness building of 110 feet pay for the
money it would be necessary to put
up to construct IL.
At the present time there are
nineteen buildings in the city of 1l0
feet or over. and in the event any
of these should be destroyed by fire
or otherwise they could not be re-
built to their original height, al
though the present coming law does
not permit of disturbing them now.
