Mr.. Hackl was graduated from

the golf team and belongs to the Cot

, Princeton Club, Lakeville Club and

One of the smartest organizations in

vide headquarters for equestrians who
ride in Central Park The president
is Mr.. James w. Gerard, formerly

The new club will have clubhouse
on West One Hundredth street, near
Central Park and will be equipped with
riding arena. stables. showers, SWIM

The clubs officers. besides Mr..
Gerard, include Mr.. Herbert B. Swope,

treasurer, and Mr.. 1. Altman, secretary.

It is a curious fact that although
there are facilities for almost every
other sport in New York and surround
ing territory, there is almost total
lack of facilities for horseback riding
and its related equestrian activities.
This is not due to lack of enthuSl-
astic horsemen, nor lack of money, nor
lack of responsive and interested fol-
lowing. 1t is entirely due to a lack of
single headquarters for metropolitan
horsemen.
1t is to meet this demand that the
Metropolitan Riding Club has been
formed In selecting the site the fact
that the clubhouse must have large
indoor arena and that it must be
adjacent to Central Park was con-
sidered The bride paths of Central
Park are New York'S greatest gift to
horsemen. Their very existence only
emphasizes the need for such an in
stitution as has been planned.

BY DON s. WARREN.

An increase of S1,407, 800 in the es-
timated value of building operations In
the District of Columbia during the
first six months of this year. as COM
pared with the same period OF 1927, is
shown by analysis of permits for pri-
vate construction operations issued by
the building inspector, Col John W.
Oehmann.
Exclusive of Federal operations, prof.
ects for which permits have been issued
thus far this year have a valuation Of
$22 .548. 900. as compared with S21, 14l,-
$40 last year A stable increase in
the total for the IL months of 1928
over the $50, 1921 900 figure attained last
wear is evidently in the making. 1t
will likely be far below the total of
500 ,499 $3.50 reached in 1926 or S64,6l0,-
5l3 in 1925, however.
Apartments on Increase.
A study of the building permit rec
ords indicates that Washington is con-
tinuing to grow, with apartment houses
constituting large amount of the
building operations, the cost for such
projects outstripping the total expend .
ed for dwellings. Permits were issued
during the first half of 1923 for "a
apartment houses costing an estimated
| sum of $7,695, 500, as compared with
permits for 729 houses costing S.
| 378,500.
During the first half of 1927 permits
| for 81 apartment houses costing S.
| 962 300 were issued. as compared with
! 1869 permits for dwellings costing
| $6,774,03 The trend toward apart
ment houses thus appears to be on
| the increase and, while the number of
apartments is less this year. they are
| larger in size and the cost greater on
| the average. While apartment con-
struction outran dwelling construction
| in the District of Columbia, 1t Is to be
noted, however. that in the suburban
sections of Maryland and Virginia
there are rapidly growing home sec
lions which really are an outgrowth
Of this city.
Totals of operation costs during the
six months of 1928 are as follows: jan
