HOWARD U. PROPERTY
DEAL is APPROVED
District Commissioners 0. K. Bill
for Sale of Two Parcels to
University

The District Commissioners yesterday
sent to Congress their approval of a bill
introduced by Representative Cramton
of Michigan to sell two parcels of
property to Howard University. Both
belong to the Water Department and
adioin the university campus.
One of the parcels is to be trans
ferred on payment by Howard Uni
versity of $4,000, which the Commits
sioners say is about half of the value.
The Commissioners are willing to sell
at this price on account of their in
terest in Howard University.
The other lot, however is improved
by a brick structure connected with
the Bryant Street Pumping Station, put
up at a cost of 5000. The land
originally cost $4,000. The replacement
value of the land and building is now,
the Commissioners say, about SIS, 900.
The bill provides for payment by the
university of $40, 500 for this lot and
building. While the Commissioners do
not object to the difference in value,
they point out that If the bill is passed
careful attention should be given by
appropriate measures in a District APP
preparation bill to enable the Water De-
partment to secure elsewhere facilities
similar to the ones used on this lot"
The building is used as q garage by
the department.

HUDS0N-ESSEX DEALERS
PREPARE FOB BIG YEAR

With an estimate of 215,400 auto
mobiles which must be replaced
with new cars in the very near fu-
ture in the Philadelphia area in
which Gomery-Swartz is located,
prospects for the 1882 sale of new
automobiles in this territory are far
brighter than at any time during the
past few years.
This was the report brought back
to Milford by J. P Hammond of c.
NJ. Hammond and Son, local Hudson
and Essex dealers, who has return
ed from Philadelphia where he at
tended a private preview of new
1882 Hudson and Essex models
which, he said, establish a new re-
cord for the number of advanced
features.
Because of light buying during the
past two years, Mr.. Hammond said
that the heads of Hudson selling or
CARNATIONS attending the meeting
reported that thousands of replace
ments must be made in the very
near future, and that as a result
there are more prospective purchas-
ers of new automobiles in this area
than at any time since 1925 or 1926.
Deficiency of sales during the
past two years, plus normal eXpec-
fancy, makes an unprecedented po-
tential market for the sale of ap-
proXimately 215,400 new automobiles
in this territory in 1882" Mr.. Cor
merry said.
Similar conditions existing in all
parts of the United States," the meet
ing was told by Chester G. Abbott,
of Detroit, sales executive of the
Hudson Motor Car Company, "have
led leading financial authorities to
predict that the pressing need for
motor car replacements will result
IN the automobile industry leading
the march back to general prosper
ity.
Plans of the Hudson Motor Car
Company for 1882 contain no COM
promises because of slack business
conditions in 1881. For years pio-
neer and leader in the automobile
field, Hudson has expended millions
of dollars in perfecting and produc-
ing the startling new 1882 Hudson
and Essex cars, which will be an
nOunced to the public on January 8,
the opening day of the New York
Automobile Show.
Hudson has the courage of its
convictions and plans to maintain its
huge advertising expenditures in
1882 AS usual, the bulk of next
years appropriations will be ex-
pended in newspaper advertising,
which in past years has been used
so successfully in building up Hud-
so nand Essex prestige and sales.
For these reasons, Hudson and Es-
sex selling organizations here and
throughout the country are looking
forward to a substantially increased |
percentage of next years larger au-
tomobile business"
Demonstration of new cars and |
the showing of sound motion pic
lures, detailing their designing, |
building and outstanding features, |
were received enthusiastically by the |
dealers. Hudson-EsseX selling or !
ganization from nearby Delaware, |
Pennsylvania and New Jersey points |
were represented at the meeting.
The meeting at Philadelphia was |
one of a series of similar Hudson
Essex meetings being held through
ou the United States in one of the !
most extensive preview showings of
new cars ever held by any automo-
bile company. /
