THE WEAK LINK

What do you think OF real estate SO
valuable that, to get a clear title to
1T owners pay $4,000 an inch?
That happens in New York. on the
site Of the new Hotel Commonwealth.
Surveyors discovered that the actual
measurement added two more inches
Of ground on the Broadway side of the
property than the deeds called for.
The original faulty deed was drawn
up in Civil War days. Since then the
land had changed hands 16 times. It
was necessary for every one Of those
10 parties. their heirs or estates, to
sign away every possible interest in
the two inches. before the Common
wealth title could be secure
Otherwise, some heir might come
along later, lay claim to the two-inch
strip and compel the tearing down Of
that part OF the hotel on his claim.
To clear UP the title took three or
more years. Lawyers had to travel to
Europe, to San Francisco and other
cities to see former owners. A nun In
convent was one whose signature
was necessary.
Expenses Of these trips totaled s2O.-
Rather costly error.
A carload OF grain was destroyed by
fire IN Kansas City. Mo. The owner
J. Stanley Smith. dug up his Insurance
policy.
But comma was missing in this
phrase Of the policy: Grain in cars
on side track within 100 feet Of the
elevator"
Smith insisted that the comma be-
longed after the word track" But
courts held that the comma belonged

That commas absence cost Mr..

DISTRICT TO SPEND
$4,000 ON JARv|A
Maj. Besson Believes Making
Macadam Roads UnWise
for Large Cities. 8

The District engineer department
will spend approximately 100000
within the next two months in treat
the city with tarvia. it was learned
last night
The purpose of this treatment is
| to iron out the humps and holes that
develop during the winter months.
and also to preserve the macadam
surface during the cold months to
come.
Maj. F. S. Besson. assistant engin-
eer commissioner in charge Of high
ways. voiced the belief last night
that large American cities should not
invest further funds in building new
macadam roadways.
He made it clear. however. that he
regards it good policy to preserve
as long as possible, by the use of
tarvia and other repairs. the existing
macadam roadways rather than lose
the amount invested in them by re-
placing them at once with a better
type Of highway.
Future Road Material.
Maj Besson is confident the future
highways of the District of Column
bia will be concrete and asphalt.
Il believe" sai,l the assistant en-
gineer commissioner that in the city
proper the streets should be of con-
crete base with asphalt surface.
The best trea tment for the suburbs
IS TO lay concrete streets at the start
and when the concrete has outlived
its usefulness cover it with asphalt
without tearing up the concrete.
when this procedure is follow ed
YOU have a new asphalt street with
out the additional cost Of laying a
concrete base. Moreover you get
years of wear out of the concrete
before coating it with asphalt.
Old Streets Resurfaced.
Maj. Besson pointed out that with
in the last year the District has ex-
perimcntcd with this plan by re-
surfacing the following old concrete
streets with asphalt without disturb
ing the concrete:
Columbia road, east of Georgia ave-
nue.: Michigan avenue. west of 1st
street northwest, and 23d street south
Of Phelps place.
AS a further reason why the city
should not go in for extensive devel-
opment of macadam roadways, Maj.
Besson called attention to the fact
that that type of roadway is not rela-
lively as cheap as it was years ago.
Broken stone necessary in macadam
roadways, he said, is expensive at
this time.
The, freight charge alone on Gu
bic yard of this stone delivered to
the District is 8 cents more than the
total cost of cubic yard of the gravel
used in concrete and 4S cents more
than cubic yard of sand used in
concrete.
ITO meet the needs of vehicular
traffic. bituminous surface treatment
is essential. and when this is done
macadam costs exceed concrete. OF
course. it is economy to protect the
many miles of existing streets and for
these bituminous surface treatment
is good investment"
