N00DLEY PARK
SELECTED SITE

The term restricted property
has been used and nisused in so
many instances that the prospective
purchaser of a home has come to
take the statement with a grain of
salt. There are: however, some few
localities in which the protection
against encroachment of CONNER
cial or other types of building
operations that tend to cheaper a
residential section, are of actual
Significance. The site selected by
khei Wardman Construction Com
pany for the development Of Wood
ley Park seems to have every safe
guard that is necessary for the
full protection Of q fine residential
1ocality.
Certain natural phases of this
section of Washington make 1t
practically impervious to any de-
Velopment that suggests COM
mercialism. The park system of
the city will be extended in time
80 that Woodley Park will become
even more cuddled than it is now
with beautifully developed acreage.
In addition to the advantage of be-
ing bordered by Rock Creek Park
this community is set in the CEN
ter OF some Of the most elegant
estates in the Capital.
Establishing an estate or select
ing the site for ones mansion, it
seems, requires instructive good
taste and judgment and in the
days when the Bell, Parmalee and
Phipps estates were built there was
q great deal more property avail.
able from which one could choose
an ideal location than is the case
today. 1t is notable, therefore, that
this particular section Of the city
was selected by these people whose
object was to establish their homes
In q neighborhood that would re.
main protected for many genera.
tions.
The resident Of woodley Park or
the prospective purchaser of
home there should derive much
satisfaction from the knowledge
that they are privileged to possess
that coveted exclusiyeness in their
neighborhood that, in the not so
distant past, could be attained only
by those of great wealth.

The new home development Of
Frank L. Hewitt, located in Seven
Oaks, Maryland, is proving popular
amongst those desiring detached
homes Of moderate price.
Seven Oaks is located short
distance north of Silver Spring.
Md, on the Colesville Pike, and the
large amount Of new home con.
struction going on in this vicinity
during the past two years has

"Often there Is no exact and

may be established. Several diff.

should sell for. Actual cost OF the

An expensive house on a cheap
lot may have a market value much
less than its actual cost, owing to
the surrounding neighborhood. On
the other hand, cheap house may

fact that it improved unique 10.

way OF determining the actual

Mortgage Is Guide
"on the strength Of such an
opinion a bank makes mortgage
loan. Any one knowing the size Of
a mortgage on a given piece of
property can, therefore, figure out,
by a simple piece of arithmetic,
just exactly what the bank thinks
about the value of the property.
This Is the reason. of course, why
the first question asked by a
prospective buyer is the size Of
the mortgage on the property.
Now opinions are not cut and
dried things. In appraising house
there Is often a real variation be-
tween the opinions even OF men
supposed to be experts. During
periods OF easy money, such as the
present time, banks desire to make
loans as large as is compatible with
safety and conservative banking
policy.
'The natural result is that in a
period when lenders are anxious to
find good borrowers they will usual
ly be a little more generous in their
appraisals than when money is
scarcer.
"This tendency to make larger
loans inevitably results in a higher
sales value for the property when
1t finally changes hands. And this
development Is in operation now, at
a time when the real estate mar.
ket has lost some of its hectic ac.
tivity and good borrowers are not
numerous enough to employ all the
funds which banks have available
for real estate investment.

Unorganized Sections Turn

En- Times Special

In Times Special
Y WASHINGTON, April S.-Union
coal miners have lost one of their
strongest points in collective bargain
ing with operators by recent shifting
of the majority of bituminous coal
production to strong nonunion dis
tricts.
Since 1898 wage agreements in all
union fields have been drawn up in
accordance with those arrived at in
the central competitive coal field
comprising Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and eight counties in, western Penn
sylvania.
At that time the field produced
more than a third of the country's
entire output, while other strong
union fields in such States as Iowa,
Michigan, central Pennsylvania,
Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Okla
homa, Wyoming, Montana, the
Dakotas and Washington, swelled
the production to So per cent of the
entire output.
Results of Shift
In 1899 the three States of West
Virginia, Virginia and Maryland, to-
gether with eastern Kentucky, pro-
duced only 14.5 per cent OF the
bituminous tonnage. In recent years
these States have been rapidly in
their output and together
With other Southern and Western
States now are mining majority Of
all soft coal.
In 1925 the tonnage produced in
the four States amounted to 34.8
per cent of the national output,
while the output of the central COM
petitive field dwindled to only 29.7
per cent. This latter field and the
northern States usually allied with
them in wage agreements produced
only 43.1 per cent of the national
output, while the West Virginia and
other southern groups mined $50
per cent.
The effect of this shifting of pro-
duction in weakening the cause of
union miners is shown by a recent
survey made by the Bureau of
Mines, giving the number of non
union and union miners in each dis

figures being: nonunion miners 1867
Sol and union miners 5,719.
The greatest union strength lies
in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Union
miners in the three States number
128,407, and nonunion 4,514. The
union is also strongly intrenched in
Pennsylvania, although nonunion
workers outnumber the union men,
the figures being 81, 003 union and
