Made-McKeever Sees Prices
\ Tending to Higher Level.

In announcing q list OF recent
sales, the firm OF McKeever n Goss
predict that this summer win be the
most active In recent years In the
history of Washington real estate.
The primary reason for this, accord
ing to r. l.. McKeever, head OF the
firm, is that prospective buyers VINO
have been holding off, with the idea
OF lower prices are rapidly becoming
convinced that instead OF pri:es
going lower there is every indica'
ton of higher prices. These higher
prices will be caused II Is believed,
by the rising cost of both labor ana
material and the increasing scarcity
and cost Of vacant land.
