By ROBERT r. HOLDEN,

Washington Is growing. Fix that
fact in your mind. Growth-natu'
raj, normal, necessary growth--is
exceeding expectations.
AS has been said more than once,
the growth OF Washington Is not q
local symptom, 1t is q national
movement. "a
The whole nation is interested in
the growth OF Washington. 1t is as
much a fact in Seattle and Chicago
or New Orleans as it is on Penn
gylvania avenue.
Nation Behind Capital.
The wonderful strides which
washington is making do not rep
resent local effort alone-they are
the sum of national initiative.
The United States is steadily
growing more prosperous. Times
are good, the country. in general,
is going ahead. National problems
are reaching solutions. Just as long
as the United States gpes ahead,
Washington will ride upon the crest
of the forward racing wave.
AS the elder Morgan once said,
mo man was ever a bear upon
the future OF this country who did
not &c broke" The man who
OF the United States Of America
always wins.
Building Marks Progress.
Consider the matters of today.
More people are building homes in
Washington than ever before. Build
ing permits for the first three
months of this year exceed all past
records, in the face of last years

Walker Hotel, 100 rooms, each fit

highest class trade - practically
every other downtown hotel plan
ming new additions and more rooms,
is an indication that hotel men are
looking to the future.
They know the additional people
are coming. They know 1t because
they stand directly on the bank Of
the great stream OF national traffic.
Lot values increase generally with
the growth of the population. Any
head OF family arriving in Wash.
ington to stay adds several thou
sand dollars to the value Of all
the real estate in the city.
IL you own q lot you get your

pay your share in increased rental
and living costs.
Many Opportunities.
The opportunities which exist to-
day for purchasing Washington real
estate. with a practical certainty
for profitable enhancement in value,
win not wait for the man who
delays.
The city Is overcrowded. The
natural trend Of home-seekers tc the
suburbs is reflected in the great
subdivision development Of nearby

A report recently made to the

American-made plumbing wares are

there exists in Switzerland a great

The Swiss are a people with q re.

Reduction Of the height limit of
buildings on Pennsylvania avenue
between Ninth and Fifteenth streets
northwest, from 10 to S5 feet,
probably will be ordered by the
Zoning Commission as the result
of testimony offered at the public

The proposal to reduce the height
limit was unopposed by persons
attending the hearing.
Opposition to the proposal to
change virtually all the property
facing the Capitol grounds from
first commercial to residential was
registered by property owners in
that vicinity. Fred G.. COldren,
Evan III. Tucker and A. J. Driscol1
spoke in favor of making the
property residential in order to pre-
serve the appearance OF the Capitol
building.
The commission also heard testi-
nony for a change from residential

Irving street near Hiatt place and
a change from residential for the
property at the southwest corner OF

D. c. APPRA|SALS
SHOW HUGE
INCREASE
Only Four Cities Have Larger
Record for 1922 Of Prop
critics Valued.

In a recent survey by the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards, relative to appraisal Of real
estate handled through its mem
Der boards, the Washington Real
Estate Board stood fifth on the list
of 124 boards in point Of the total
aggregate value of properties ap-
praised.
The full report showed that dur
ing the year 1922 the appraisal COM
mittees of one hundred and twenty
four real estate boards affiliated
with the National Association made
official appraisaIs of real estate in
a total value of $194,511 ,232. OF
this amount the local board ap-
praised during 1922 properties in
the District of Columbia for an ag-
gregate value of $6,561, GOT.
APPRAISALS By COMMITTEES.
These figures indicate the extent
of the development Of official ap-
praisals by the machinery of real
estate boards throughout the coun-
try. Every board affiliated with
the National Association maintains
a standing appraisal committee con-
sisting of active realtors who are
members of local boards.
These committees are considered
of vast Importance. Membership,
in many instances obtained through
regular elections, is deemed a high
honor in real estate board circles.
Included in the survey, which
covered nearly 5000 individual ap-
praisals, were $50 appraisaIs made
for governmental bodies, local, State
or national. Valuations of this
character reached a total of 3d.,
123,858
Included in these appraisals were
both improved and unimproved
properties which were being pur-
chased for municipal, State or Fed
eral use. One of the principal items
was sites for public school build
ings.

Board has maintained a standing
appraisal committee for almost tell
