SALE BY AUCTION
|SgRESTv|EWP PLAN

The subdivision known as Crest
view, at the junction of Massachu-
sets avenue and the District line
northwest, consisting of 500 building
lots. will be sold at auction, it was
announced today by Joseph P. Day
of New York, auctioneer engaged by
the owners of the property.
The decision to adopt this method
of selling the lots has created interest
among the local real estate men, Mr..
Day pointed out. Some are said to
ton at this time would mean great
sacrifice of prices and deprive the
owners of the increase in values GER
tain to follow the demand for homes.
Others are insisting, however, that
a public auction sale is the most
likely method to pursue in order to
secure quick results. he declared.

have site upon which to put it.
The man who pays rent is like a man
living in a room with a low ceiling.
He always has to stoop and sometimes
has to crawl. The spirit of American
freedom is best exemplified by the
man who owns his own home, and
the people of Washington should be
encouraged through auction sales to
take the first step in home owner
