to Grow Very Rapidly

Governor Richie of Maryland will

1--WE feel that Washington Is des.
tined to have more than a million
population in the not far distant
future" declared Colonel j. L. Gill
breth, of Battery Park. 1.-THE
natural trend of this increasing
population is toward Montgomery
county, Maryland. This has been
demonstrated by the growth of
Battery Park, which sprung from
barren field two years ago 20 one of
the finest residential districts in this
section in less than two years;
Edgemoor, which is developing rap
idly at the present time; Leland,

has made large strides in the last
few months; Chevy Chase terrace,
another fast -growing community;
Friendship, Bethesda, Carrot Park.
and other settlements in this sec.
ticn.
1.-THE rapidly increasing values of
property in nearby Montgomery
county make It advisable that any
park lands be purchased as soon as
possible, in order that the tax
payers may not be compelled to
pay an exhorbitant price, and, Sec
ondly, that they may still be found
available. Even at the present time
land has advanced to a point which
will make the acquiring of park
lands in this section expensive and
1t will never grow cheaper.
There is everything to point to
a million population for Washing
ton," Colonel Gilbreth continued.
THE Capital is the only capital the
United States will ever have, and
1t has attractions that no other
city in the United States can ever
possess. Our climate is ideal, and

Because of the great interest and

Neutrality-suspicious., the Herald Har.
Dor Company has arranged with
the W., B. & A.. railroad for
train from Washington to the
colony each day, leaving the w,

IL a. m. every morning. THIS
schedule makes it possible for
swimmers and people interested in
the Harbor property to visit the
colony with as little difficult and
little waste Of time as possible.
This train was used by large
number of Wahingtonians last
week and each day dozens enjoyed
the beautiful scenery and excellent
swimming at Herald Harbor.
Since the closing Of the Tidal

corning bathing in polluted water

PROPERTY NEAR

POPULAR
Florida Gulf Coast Land Co.
Developing New Tract of
Florida Land

The announcement of the open

near Fort Myers, is not unexpected
and is welcomed by a large number
OF people who have been waiting
for an opportunity to purchase
building lots on the west coast.
This property lying within two and
oue-half miles from San Carlos and
fronting on the McGregor boulevard
is only four miles from the homes
of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford
and is undoubtedly one OF the most
promising properties in Florida to-.
day: $20,000,0 900 is being spent on
improvements at San Carlos, 1t is
reported. This will make an al

none in the United States. The

Tley now have an office in several
cities over the country and have
recently opened an office at Fort

It is reported that the company
will erect a new office building at
Fort Myers which will be eight
stories high, the cost in the neigh
bo~hood of 100000. The entire
ground floor will be used by the
golf coast company.
The lots in the west coast prop
erty are selling from 81 900 to 81, 500
each and 1t is expected that due to
the desirability and location of the

BUILDING IS AS
BUILDING
DOES
Shortage, on the Whole, Is
Gradually Diminishing, Says
Robert Beck

Building Is as building does.
according to Robert Beck, presi-
dent of the Longacre Engineering
& Construction Company, erectors
of many prominent office buildings
and large apartment houses, as
well as numerous theaters in New
York, Chicago, Detroit, Washing
ton and other cities.
ITO the practical builder and
real estate man." said Mr.. Beck
yesterday, in discussing current
conditions, the various reports
concerning the building situation
are not worth his perusal unless
he knows that they are based upon
adequate, accurately compiled data,
gathered by a reliable organization
looking for uncolored truth.
ut is the actual demand for
structures that counts. Fortunately,
the optimistic statistics recently
made public are borne OUT by our
own operations and a check OF
more than 220 cities reveals a
real estate market even moro active
than that of a year ago.
1T is true that, on the whole,
the building shortage is gradually
diminishing, with the greatest call
still for one-family residences, and
the weakest demand for business
structures. The numerous trans
fers and the large sales Of lots
in most cities indicate, however,
that there will be considerable
volume of building in sight for
months to come.
ION the average the cities in
the southwestern territory report
more active conditions than those
of other sections. Only those places
located in the North Atlantic and
central eastern areas tell Of less
ing turned over at this period in
1924.
1.-THE Longacre Company has
specialized largely in theater con.
struction and in this field the out
look is also favorable. with many
large contracts under way and
pending. There is an even stronger
demand for motion picture houses
than there was at this time last
year and there are also plenty OF
projects ahead involving so-called
legitimate theaters and vaudeville
structures.
THE manner in which the market
strength continues has caused a
certain amount of surprise, yet
believe 1t may be readily EXPLAINED.
In the years Immediately preceding
the war, the real estate field was
suffering from a marked lack Of
public interest and much cCmpeti-
ton, but since 1916, or thereabouts.
there has developed a greater bust
ness in real property for invest
ment and speculative purposes than
previously has been seen in many
years.
Furthermore, in view OF this
changed sentiment and the natural
increase in population. / doubt If
the market will become really dull
for perhaps a decade. barring any
general financial disturbance. The
call of the soil is strong for most
people, and as soon as they ac-
cumulate surplus funds ir any
material degree they seek to invest
1t in real estate. Another import
ant point Is that the commodity is
more liquid than it used to be and
there is less danger
of finding ones money tied up in
definitely for want of a ready pur-
chaser"
