I'VE bought under the excitement
of the Florida land BOOM" Mr.. Ris-
singer said. Since then the lots we
purchased have sunk to less than so
per cent of the selling price, and the
public improvements agreed upon
have not been made. We have found
from experience that no satisfaction
is to be obtained from individual com
munications from the sellers. All we
get back is letters assuring us that
the depression Is only temporary and
that when values increase again we
will he glad of our purchases.
About $4,000 lots in all were sold
in this project. The prices ran from
81. 800 TO $500. striking an average,
should say. at about $4,000. For
S., 500 one could buy in Washington q
very excellent lot. indeed, with all
public improvements. These lots. on
the other hand, are four or five miles
from the center of the development.

prices to half. We want to be placed

CLARENDON, Va, March 1.-THE
proposed location by the County Board

tanks and storage space on land to
which 1t has taken title on Lyonhurst
avenue, Lyonhurst, is meeting with
a storm of protest from citizens of
that community, who threaten injunc-
ton proceedings unless the project
is abandoned.
Sentiment was registered at a spe-
cial meeting of the board of super.
visors by a delegation of citizens,
headed by DR.. Richard n, Sutton,
who said that the erection of such a
plant would destroy one of the best
residential sections of the county. Asa
E. Phillips. engineer in charge Of in.
stallation Of the county's water sys-
tenn. told the citizens that the pro-
posed location was not only the most
logical, but the only one available.
and gave assurances that there would
be nothing unsightly about. The citi-
Zens recommended another site near
by, which they said would place the
plant in the rear of their homes in.
stead Of in front. and invited Engineer
Phillips to go with them to look it over
today, the invitation being accepted.
On motion of Supervisor Ingram

will be given further consideration by

Washington Investors in Florida Land :.
Organize to Protect Rights in Slump

individuals in Washington nd other
cities who have suffered from declin-
ing Florida real estate values are pre-
pairing to fight.
A significant step has been taken
here by purchasers Of lots in one
Florida community, widely advertised
two wears ago, who met in an office
In the Transportation Building and
orga nized to protect Their interests.
Real estate interests In that com
munity, II was brought out, opened
an Office In Washington and conducted
an intensive selling campaign which
resulted in the disposal of at least 500
building lots to Washingtonians These
house lots were sold at an average of
about $500 each. Now similar lots
are being sold at less than half this
price.
The object Of the Washington or
ganization, ii was explained by w. w.
Rissinger, IS Franklin street north
east. Is to persuade the sellers to give
them clear titles when they have paid
in money equivalent to the present
value Of the properties, instead of fore.
ing them to pay the full price agreed
upon. The terms of the contracts.
which called for paved streets. sewers
and running water, have not been
met, they claim.
About 80 persons attended the or
ganization meeting, and 1t is planned
to expand the organization when other
lotholders come forward. 1t also u
