WORK TURNS DOWN ALASKA SUGGESTION
 OF CONSOLIDATION
UNITING ALL LAW ENFORCE MENT AGENCIES IN TERRI
 TORY NOT FEASIBLE

WASHINGTON, May 15, (P)- In his Congressional report Seere- tary Hubert Work of the Departmen: os the Interior expressed the bllief q consolidation of the present police and aw enforcement agencies in Alaska into single force is neither feasible or proper
 The report disclosed the various acti, ities of the different depa"t- r1ents maintaining enforcement of ficers in the Terri >ory
 Because of LEe ?2ture of the par ticular work, tle report said ''it does aot appear a consolidation os such agencies into single force would be conductive to better law cnsnc.. mont or in public interest.
 While the view has been expressed by several departments that a supple mentary force, to cooperate with the existing agencies might be advan- of additional law enforcemnt agen- tageous, the need for establishment ties is not apparant, judging from the information available to this depart Hent, nor from the facts disclosed in letters from several deparNmen' 8 now interested.
 Such activities of supplementary forces or a constabulary, would en- tail additional expense of such pro- portions as woud not be justified by any of the agencies now known to exist.
 The departments which maintain enforcement officers in Alaska are the Justice. Agriculture, Commerce, and Treasury. Officials include marshais, game officers, deputies and fisheries. Officials and employees of the prohibition enforcement in. clude four special agents for the sup. pression of the liquor traffic among the Indians, as we'll as other dry of ncers.

new BUILDINGS

large securities corporation in New

the total number of cities covered,
81 reported additional new building
requirements, Fl reported new build.
ing ample to take care Of all requires
ments, and in 43 opinion was divided.
The survey indicates that the need
OF those cities which can absorb
new construction is for commercial
buildings, apartment houses, and
privatea homes ranking as the most
urgent, with office buildings, hotels,
apartment hotels and garages corn.
ing next in order. In 76 cities new
buildings well located are reported
as occupied within q reasonable
time. In 20 cities fhe opinion on
occupancy was divided, with only.
three cities reporting subnormal
occupancy.
The reports further indicate that
in 72 cities no abnormal amount of
new construction was in progress
Seven cities report an abnormal
amount of new construction. Opin-
ion on this question was divided I'm
"a cities. In answer to the question
whether an over supply of new
buildings could be looked for in
1923 negative was received from
SO cities, with six cities anticipa ting
an over supply, and 20 divided in
opinion.
The replies to the question "Has
rental demand been such as to
maintain fairly well the prices

Gated that in 5 cities the rental
demand has been adequate, with
II cities reporting a decline and 30

Treasured books, into whose pages
the writer has Ieived, reveal this his
toric Homecoming community as
having had its inception in 1890, at
which time Gen. Urior Forrest and
nfa partner, BENJAMIN StOddard,
purchased the tract of land upon
which Woodley Park has been built.
ne original purchase made by these
Two pioneers consisted OF $50 acres
of land, which in 1890 comprised ell
the land between the Frederick
Georgetown Pike, now Wisconsin.
Avenue. and Rock Greek Park.
First Big Estate
The Stoddard interest in this tract
of land was purchased by General
Forrest in 1894 and was Immediately
followed BY the erection Of the
Forrest home, Rosedale. This home
Wa built on Ordway Street east Of
Wisconsin Avenue, and, according
to records. was the first of the many
beautiful estates built in and around
Washington.
The next year, General Forrest
sold q 250-acre tract of his land to
Philip Barton Key uncle of Francis
Scott Key, and on this parcel Of
land was erected the Woodley
Mansion, which for many years
served as a mecca to many Of the
great notables OF the Nation. Wood

place Of many OF the ideas OF the
early and struggling Republican
party.

SPECULATION IN
REAL ESTATE
PASSES

Less speculation IL evident In the
building market than at any other
time since the war, and the change
has resulted in the stabilization Of
real estatate values.
with the passing Of this specula-
tive period the dwelling field win Be
relieved Of one Of its greatest evils
and a condition will prevail that
will be OF great benefit to every
phase of the building industry.
Prospective home buyers will no
longer look at a home. with the idea
OF buying ii as an investment that
will have a quick turnover, but they
will regard It with all respect to its
qualities as permanent home.
Many Made Fortunes
Throughout the. war and for 4
brief period Immediately thereafter
every person that bought a piece o.
real estate or q home became 3 po-
tential real estate dealer, the i'm
vestments made in real estate were
for purely speculative reasons. Many
people were known to move virtu-
ally every other month because of
selling the house they were calling
their home at very handsoTne
profit. Options were sold to new
speculative buyers In many In
stances the same day the home was
purchased. Fortunes were made
over night.
lit was q condition created BY
fully recognized abnormal conditions,
and it could not have been avoided
And like all other similar periods
it has taken time to- eradicate the
scars left in its wake.
The average home buyer Of today
is looking for d home that il nc
tually worth the money spent. and
that is as 1t should be. However,
it is all very well, IL property can
be bought that will enhance in
value and this is very often the
case even though real estate values
today are more sound and stable
than at any other time in the past
10 years.
However. as has been said before,
home buyers are watching tho
dwelling field for homes that are
worth the price and it is worth
noting that the sales in, Washing
ton developments are being made by
those realtors who are offering the
best values.

Now how about ARTISTIC ENVIRONMENT
We, here in Indianapolis know the true meaning
of living RIGHT INSIDE maze of BEAUTIFUL
THINGS-arChitecture of purest type, parks
WITHIN READY REACH of all the PEOPLE,
plazas statued fountains, monuments of tran
scendant dignity, mirrored bridges across lazy
streams, homes, homes, beautiful homes on every
hand, practically all owned by the people inside
them
Granted you get all that sort of thing in the BIG
towns-but you don't get them ALTOGETHER.
Even Paris doesn't give you it's art in such con-
venient 6et-at-able package. Almost anywhere
else you have to PLAN ALL-DAY EXCUR-
SIONS to see these things-and you have to see
them ONE AT A TIME. Indianapolis has assem-

beauty and charm to Indianapolis,
People who have formed the habit of living under
indianapolis conditions get restless when you

them back, and sooner or later they usually do
come back to u.s.
All that it takes to make life worth while, Indi-
