population of approximately 100000.
more than $65 900 900 was spent in new
buildings last year. They were also
amazed that a row of houses which inn
pressed them very much could be
erected in 60 or 80 days.
They constantly remarked on the
fact that practically the humblest
workman on the job arrived in his

The visitors were mainly interested
in the houses ranging around $4,000
and made a thorough study Of many
such operations as The Stars model
row houses. Foxhall Village, Burleith,
new Petworth developments and
others.
Zoning and building code regula-
tons interested them. They explained
that German regulations in many in.
stances demanded more fire protection
and exactness in construction.
According to the visitors plumbing
and electric wiring is not Installed
until the house is completed in Ger
many. This calls for an Immense
amount of extra work. They were
particularly impressed with the
method here of putting in electric
lights, wiring and Plumbing pipes as
the buildings progress.
