Hopkins-Armstrong Corp. Ends

Home Colony.

A. city wide movement to migrate

ton has constituted the most i'm
portant trend in the local real
estate field during the year just
closed, according to the Hopkins
Armstrong Corp, developer OF
Woodside Park, the Capitals most
successful home colony project.
During the past few r )ntns sew
eral prominent real estate firms
have formed new home divisions
ideally located, and conforming
with the demand for well CON
str1cted homes. 1t was the Hop.
kins-Aru1strong Corporation that
conceived the idea Of developing q
home section in acre plots, situated
q stones throw from the heart OF
the city.
an records for, tho sales OF home
sites were broken when the an
nouncemHnt OF the Woodside Park
DEVELOPMENT was brought before
the public several months ago. Dis.
criminative buyers virtually flocked
20 the park with the hope OF pur-
chasing home sites. Now comes
the statement that approximately
$4,000 worth Of sites have been
passed into the hands Of home
seekers.
It is recalled that the old N0yes
mansion is situated in the heart of
W0odside. Perhaps there 10 no
other local homestead that Is better
known than the Moves estate.
Gracefully stretching out from the
farm. hundreds Of plots have been
made, q goodIy number OF which
are now owned by Washingt onians
desiring to erect their homes on
plots Of beautiful ground.
That the development has proven
q noteworthy success is evidenced
by the sentiment expressed by the
residents now residing at Wood
side A community Of spirited citi-
Gems has sprung up in that section.
Al questions pertaining to the well
fare Of the park are freely dis
cussed by residents at meetings.
Il Il expected that this section
wiz be completely sold during the
next few months.

The report also recommends build

culture. and removal OF the De-
partment OF Justice to quarters in

The report also sets forth the
need for permanent buildings for
the Department Of Labor to avoid
the huge rentals now charged. As
this amount is less than the rental
for the Department OF Justice, It Is
urged that the latter have first con-
sideration.
The most important item is an
appropriation Of $4,0OO.OO0 for an
Archives Building. The need for
this building IL declared to be one
of the most urgent which has come

EXPERT ADVISES TITLES
WATCHED FOR DEFECTS

A title may be perfect of record
and still have defects, not disclosed
by the record, sufficiently serious
to render the property worthless,
declares q realty observer.
AN abstractor may be an ex.
pert and the attorney highly com
petent and still leave defects in the
title. A deed might be forged. A
false affidavit may have been made.
The Increase In the value Of prop
erty usually arouses the interest OF
some former owner or unheard-of
heir. They frequently spare no
effort to find a defect whereby the
property may be recovered. These
people are often urged to further
