a consequence the builders of the
fcfty decided that rather than SUBJ

would take the west side of the
Capitol from which to build the

Nowadays, however, Washington

and its surrounding developments

The newest of the easterly de-
veIopments is District Heights which
Is two miles over the District line
on the Marlboro pike and a twenty
minute ride from the Library Of
Congress.
District Heights is an unusual
subdivision in many respects. 1t is
perhaps, the only realty develop
ment in the history of the city
which was said to have been. called
to the attention of high officials by
Senator L. Heisler. Ball, then cnair-
man OF the Senate District Com.
mittee, as a means of relieving
the housing shortage in the National
Capital. Its ideal community plan
was lauded in press by Senator Ball.
Completed Plans First
Instead of capitalizing this recog
milton, however. Joseph L. Topper.
prominent lawyer and sponsor for
District Heights, bided his time and
did not offer his subdivision to the
public until several months later,
on July 4. He said he wanted to
complete the elaborate preliminary
development instead of picture it
for prospective District Heights
owners and when he put his first
homes on the market they were all
sold within six days. He now plans
to erect 100 more homes.
Within three weeks after District
Heights was opened, he solicited
bids for installation of water and
sewerage at cost of $50, 900. This
move put him in the forerank of
neighboring developments which do

Happily it appears to be the
policy OF promoters of these SUBJ

he is quickly able to get his money

want it.
Choice of L'Enfant
1t is a matter of history that
L,Enfant, who laid out the City OF
Washington, selected the East sec

reason the Capitol fronts East.
Only through quirk of human ma.
