Gentlemen:
On the 3rd Of April 1913. I re-
ceived from the District Attorney,

ter:
Mr.. :. c. Fisher,
st. Louis Mo.
Dear Sir:
Enclosed herewith tol your
signature, find grant Of right OF
way to Clar,,, county, The County
Of Clark has established q public
read through your property Char
lesion Boulv.D, running along the
Section line thereof, thirty-feet on
each side of the section line, and
is making arrangements to bu4d
ard maintain a good public roaC
which is needed in the section of
the County where your property is
located, and, which, when COM
pleted, will greatly enhance the
value Of your property.
The County die not condemn
the property as all owners who
reside here have expressed a will
ingness tc give the County q grant
of light Of way, provided the
County will use the same as .
public highway and viii build and
maintain a public road over the
right of way granted to it. The
owners who reside here
have been before the Board OF
County Commissioners for the past
year, urging the County Commis-
siCnerS to establish a good road
through their property, and I trust
that the nonresident land owners
whose property will be benefited
by reason CT a good road. will CO.
operate with those who are resi-
dents here, and assist all they can
i'll getting good road through
this part CT the County,
Please sign the enclosed deed
before a Notary Public and return
at your earliest convenience to this
office
Yours very truly,
20. j. VAN PELT.
District Attorney.
I signed a deed for 80 feet, one
mile lone. on the condition fol-
owing: Provided however, that the
land herein conveyed is to be used
as a public highway, and if dis
continued or abandoned by the
Grantee, the exclusive enjoyment
reverts TO the grantor, his heirs
and assigns
Il do not know whether Mr.
Ladd and others whose property
adjoins mine in Section ,, gave 80
feet as ! did, but the fact is the
County has never established this
read and the rights granted have
been forfeited,
while the City Planning Com
is trying to work out plans
for the future development of Las
Vegas, it seems to me that Char
lesion Boulevard is a very import
ant link in the chain.
L think this boulevard should be
100 feet wide. and I will make my
Of so feet, if other
property owners will 90 likewise.
y called the attention Of Mr.
Ferron. Chairman of the Planning
Commission to this. and hope
Won will aid him by publishing this

visions that the owner may not without
written approval of the developers make
alterations on the exterior of the house
or erect additional outbuildings. Color
schemes of houses in sections being
planned as whole may not be chang
ed; the landscaping plan may not be
changed to any important degree;
sometimes 1t is required that none but
smoke-free fuel be employed in house
heating plants; sign boards or other
advertising devices may not be erected
on lots bought in these restricted sec
lions; hotels or apartments may not
be erected on such lots; and in some
instances, even a fence may not be
built on home-owner's lot without
consent from the developers.
In detached sections where houses
are built by developers from plans Sc
lected by the lot purchaser, it Is re-
quired in a number of sections here
that these plans must be approved by
jury of architects acting for the de-
Velopers.
Also it is the practice to place restric-
tionS in covenants running with prop
erty titles to bar resale Of such property
to members Of races different from those
for whom the subdivision originally
was planned.
Covenants run for varied terms of
years.
Benefits Are Cited.
While such covenants obviously
place definite restraint on the use to
which buyer may place his property,
yet, it is pointed out. the benefits are
just as apparent. They might pre-
vent, for instance, the erection Of q
bizarre type of house of screaming
color close by home Of dignifled
simplicity and quiet tone.
They might prevent a home -owner
from erecting a huge spite" fence on
the edge of his lot to the great detri-
ment to the value of his neighbor's
property. They might prevent one
owner from erecting an unsightly ga
rage, chicken coop or dog kennel within
few feet of neighbours sun porch
or living room.

HUYLER'S OLD LANDMARK HERE
TO GIVE WAY TO NEW BUILDING

The passing of an old and familiar
landmark in downtown Washington is
foretold in announcement today by
H. Clifford Bangs with the leasing of
the property on the northeast corner of
Twelfth and F streets to the Peoples
Drug Stores, Inc.
This old four story brick structure,
for decades the home OF Huyler's con-
fectionery store, Is to be RACED shortly
to make way for new building of two
stories and selling-Space basement, to
be occupied by Peoples Drug Store.
The corner property there has been
leased to the chain store firm for a
period Of % years at total rental
consideration approximating 1890 900, it
is reported by Mr.. Bangs, who handled
negotiations. The property is owned
which acquired the property in 1924.
Plans for the new structure have been
drawn and are to be filed shortly with
the District building inspector.
Old Landmark Passes.
Thus will another of the old land
marks in Washington pass out of exist
founded more thai so years ago by
John s. Huyler and his associates in
New York, and later store was estab-
liShed here. Many Of the more elderly
local residents can recall when they
visited the place for Light refreshments
In the davs Of their youth.
A brief review of the rental history
of this property gives one picture Of
the steady rise in property values in
downtown Washington. The corner
building here was leased, by Huylers
from 1896 to 1924 for $500 year, it
Is recalled.
From 1924 to 1929, it is reported, the
annual rental amounted to approx
mately $4,000.
The real estate Office Of Mr.. Bangs
also today announced the closing of
negotiations for two other properties
on F street near Twelfth, adjoining the
old Huyler location.
Chain Store Gets Lease.
The property at Ills F street, for
merly the home Of The Louvre, has
been leased for a term Of 10 years to
Barbara Stone Stores, Inc, which will
establish one of its chain stores there.
The rental consideration was reported
to total approximately 100000. This
building is being extensively remodeled,

Winners of the three grand prizes in
the 1929 national better homes archi-
tectural competition, conducted by the
Home Owners Institute Inc, and Spon-
sored in this region by The Star, will
be known next week following Selec-
tons to be made next Wednesday by
the national jury, meeting in New York.
The winning designs are to be chosen
from among the 80 regional prize house
designs, including the three winners in
The Stars area, which was made up Of
the District, Delaware, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and North Carolina.
The three national winning designers
will be awarded $4,000, $4,000 and
$500, for first, second and third places.
Total prizes, including $500 to each
regional prize winner, aggregate $29, 900.
Meet July 81.
It was expected that these national
awards would be made during this week,
but it was found impossible for mem
bers of the national jury to meet before
July 81.
Study of the 80 designs shows, &C
cording to Arthur Bates Lincoln, con-
Sulting architect of Home Owners In
stitute, "a very fine group of designs
that will require much thoughtful con-
sideration by the members of the jury"
Each is itself a prize winner, having
been selected by group of experienced
architects, realtors, builders and deco
rators.
I'm all my experience with domestic
architecture I have not seen designs of
such merit and charm exhibiting so few
of the formal characteristics we know as
Colonial or Spanish. While the large
majority show English detail, really only
one could strictly be called English.
Four fall within Georgian design, four
are Spanish, two French and one
Colonial. Stereotype handling Of mass
is conspicuously absent among these 80
houses.
what represents probably the best
present thought on home design is re-
fected in these plans. A survey of them
should be helpful and interesting to
buyers and builders. Even though
competitors had the option of design
ing houses with three or four bedrooms,
the first point to be noted is that there
are three times as many three-bedroom
houses as there are bedroom de-

BY DON s. WARREN.

Developers of new subdivisions in
Washington and other progressive CEN
tiers more and more are employing pro-
tective covenants restricting the use of
property purchased by home buyers for
the mutual benefit Of residents of the
community.
Just few years ago, it is recalled,
many looked askance at proposals for
city coming ordinances which limited
the use to which privately owned prop
critics could be employed, yet today
house developers of their own initiative
are placing restrictions in covenants
running with titles to residences even
more detailed and stringent.
Outgrowth Of City Planning.
This is the modern trend in subdi-
visions and Is an outgrowth of modern
city planning and the adoption of the
fundamental principle that houses in a
new and carefully developed section
should be planned in relation one to
another so that the whole section may
scheme, more beautiful, more consistent
than under the old "hit-and-miSs"
plan, yet in no wise tending to stand
ardize the design of each individual
house.
That this employment Of protective
covenants Is in answer to demands of
property buyers for protection appears
apparent, for 1t Is held certain that an
operative builder could not afford to
place restrictions for their protection.
At least a half dozen of the newer
home developments here are subject to
such restrictions. While provisions of
covenants may vary, the general pur-
poses are the same. The principal
benefit to the home purchaser may be
the assurance that the purchaser of
neighboring house may not decide to
erect an additional garage on the side
Of the lot, change the color scheme Of
the house to suit his taste but at the
same time making it clash with that
Of other houses, and the like.
In several cases here, subdivision de-
velopers place in these covenants pro-
