\ distinct upward trend in the
Capital marked the beginning Of
March. Since the first of the year,
while residential rstruction has
been greater than normal it fell be-
low the high mark of the same period
last year. Apartment house construc-
ton, however, much to the surprise
of those familiar with the construc-
ton industry in the District, has
Jumped ahead of the early part of
1925.
The cumulative totals of residences
and apartments up to the end of this
February, however, was slightly be
hind that of the corresponding period
last year. and their value somewhat
less.
Total of S?,100,000.
March of this year has started with
n leap that has made the past week
the most active of many months in
tho local building industry. With a
total of approximately $1,000 600 in
new projects granted by the Office
of the building inspector during the
past week, the construction curve for
the year took Il sharp upward trend
There is also every indication that
the large projects in the offing to be
filed with the office of the building
inspector will add materially to max
ing this another peak year in new
building. Unless the rumblings OF
labor trouble. which threatens to be
come more serious than last year. de
veiop into actual strikes by reason
of the demand Of increased wages by
some trades and the reported refuSa
of employers to consider further
raises. there is very indication of 9

Provisions of the Federal revenue
act of 1925, which are of particular
importance in regard to real property,
are discussed in q report which has
just been made to the National Asso-
citation Of Real Estate Boards by it's
general counsel, Nathan William Mac
Chesney. The report gives the history
Of requests and representations made
to Congress by the National Associa
ton, and makes clear how far the 1926
act has embodied these requests.
Provisions which affect real estate
most directly are:
l. Definite provision in the law it
self authorizing the making Of tax
returns upon installInent sales. the
seller returning as income therefrOm
''in any taxable year that proportion
Of the installment payments actually
received in that year which the total
profit realized, or to be realized. when
the payment Is completed, bears to the
total contract price,
2. Rewording of the clauses in re-
gard to depreciation so as 10 give tax
payers substantial additional protec-
tion over and above that accorded un-
der the old act as interpreted by the
| Treasury Department.
3. Repeal of the stamp tax on deeds
! or conveyance. proxies and powers Of
| attorney.
| a. Increase from 25 per cent TO 80
per cent in the credit allowed for any
| estate, inheritance, legacy or success
| sion taxes actually paid to any State
or Territory in respect TO any prop
| erty included In the gross estate.
New Committee Favored.
| Formation of a new joint congress
siOnal committee expected TO act as a
reference body for all technical mat.
ters in the Interpretation of the rev
enue act for administrative purposes
| gives a very favorable outlook for
the new law. "a letter from the
! finance committee Of the Senate
through it's chairman. Reed Smoot of
| Utah. addressed to the National Asso
citation through its general counsel
Gen. MacChesney. explains the advan
tage of this committee. The letter is
| in part as follows:
1T has been customary in the past
! for Congress to rely to large extent
upon the Treasury Department in sug
gesting changes on administrative
matters. The new joint congressional
committee provided for by the new
law contemplates employing its owr
6uNI ISeIS anu lIlOlDllliS ilSSll anu tO!l-
eress with reference to all Of the
technical matters of administration
rather than to place such great reli
ance upon the Treasury Department.
IF the change made in the new law
and the explanation in the statement
do not meet your situation TO the full
est extent compatible with proper com
mercial practice, / would appreciate
hearing from you as to wherein yOI
believe the law should be changed"

Ample Space Shows
Charm of This
Residence.
Adams House. 1892 Blag.
den Avenue, Has Attrac-
tive Front Garden.

The residence of Mrs. Amy Il
Adams at 1922 Rlagden avenue. which
is located at the corner OF BiaGden
avenue and Sixteenth street, is very
attractive one by reason of its style
and it's proximity to Rock Creek Park
The house is built of brick and has
no particular period of design, its chief
! feature being the ample provisions
made to give the owners the maxi
mum amount Of sunshine when re-
quired.
The house faces the southeast and
is placed about 100 feet back from the
street 50 that the noise of street traf-
fic is mnimized. y sunken garden in
front OF the house proves To be a very
attractive addition and provides an eX-
cellent setting for the residence.
The architects were confronted with
the problem of designing this house
to form a harmonious part of the sur
roundings and to bring out the desired
results without undue monotony OF
design.
Living Room Feature.
The chief feature of the interior of
this dwelling is a large living room
with a very large fireplace. The llv-
ing room opens through French doors
onto a brick paved terrace which
faces the front OF the house. The
French doors prove a very attractive
finish to the front of the house and
add to the general white effect OF the
woodwork and tiashingS on the ex-
terror of the house. The living room
also opens into a large entrance hall
at the side of the house
The dining room connects with the
| living room by Il wide opening, MAX
ing the entire lower portion of the
house CommodiouS one for entertain
ing. \ breakfast room adjoins the
dining room. \ bathroom. kitchen
and pantry are also located on this
floor. A service stair leads from the
pantry upstairs.
The second floor contains four bed
| rooms. one with an open fireplace;
two complete tile bathrooms. with
showers and tubs, and plenty of large
| closets complete this floor.
Garage i'm Rear.
A two-car garage of brick. designed
to blend with the general architec-
| tural scheme of the house. but rot
! overshadow it. is located in the rear
| of the residence and is reached by a
| private driveway from the street.
! Various angles break the monotony
incident to a large roof area. The
| fancy brickwork on the exterior of
| the building. the location of the win
dows and the shutters combine to
make this residence a very attractive
one.
Ample consideration has been given
to the landsoaping of the sunken
garden and the grounds in the rear
The high-pitched roof is covered with
multi-colored tile and provides extern
sive attic spaces and room for maids
quarters and storage.
The tagged walkways and the loca
tion Of the various paths in the
grounds have been laid out with a
pleasing effect. Upman & Adams are
the architects.

NEW YORK. Nov. 4.Fame and
fortune were just around the corner
for Daniel zampareiii For many
months he had worked on the In.
vention which was to take him out
of the barren little room In which
he worked and slept. But fame and
fortune are still around the corner.
The Medical Examiner closed the
record for zamparelli yesterday.
when he wrote starvation in the
column headed cause Of death" in
the huge record book at the city
morgue.
The inventor. who was Il years
old, was discovered dead, and to
those who found him his beloved in-
vention was only a meaningless
tangle OF wires. gears and metal.
1t was marvellous machine to-
reyolutionize industry But as to its
exact nature Zampareln was evasive.
Neighbors gathered the impression
that 1t was machine 70 solve the
problem of perpetual motion. But
zamparelli carried its secret with
him. There were no blue prints or
