Approximately $50 real estate men of
Greater Washington made q pre-open-

at 1925 Locust road, in Northgate, on
Thursday afternoon as guests of the
North Washington Realty Co., the
builders.
Many prominent local realtors were
in the throng welcomed at the home by
Maj. E. Brooke Lee, Thomas Phillips,
Curtis Walker and other officials of the
realty concern. Expressions of COM
mendation were heard frequently as
groups passed through rooms of the
house.
Following inspection of the model
home, the visitors journeyed to the
heart of the wooded section of Sligo,
where a buffet supper was served.

The report continues:
In the first four months of this year
permits for residential construction
amounted to $6,831 $50, as compared
with $8,629,475 for the same period a
year ago, reduction of s1,797, 1926, or
20 per cent, while the value of permits

Tor the first four months of this year
amounted to $6,427 ,450, as compared
with $6,799,370 for the same period a
year ago, reduction of 1871 1920, or
512 per cent. During the same period
496 apartment units, in % buildings
with valuation of $4,167,50O, were
started, as compared with 1929 units,
in 81 buildings, with a valuation of
$5,849, 500, during the corresponding
four months of 1929, a reduction of a
little over so per cent in the number
OF apartment units. OF the 496 apart
ment units started this year 35S are in
two projects. The number of apart
men units started in 1929 was the
smallest since 1928, and with a con-
tinued downward trend in this class of
construction the tendency should be to
reduce vacancies in existing buildings,
and thus lead to a more complete oc-
cupancy of the older apartment build
ings which have been vacated through
the oversupply of new buildings. If
