ALEXANDRIA. Va. December 2e.-
! Building operations here during the
past year, although q bit under the
total dollar and cents value for 1888,
were able to maintain a normal level
principally because Of increased ac-
tivity along the line Of restoring his
toric old Alexandria homes.
The extent to which the fad of re-
storing quaint residences Of the older
section Of this city-a vogue which has
attracted numbers Of distinguished
persons here since it was started in
small way several years ago-in-
fiuenced operations this year may be
gathered from comparison Of build
ing reconstruction figures for this
year with those of 1893.
OF the total value of $33s. .453 listed
for the years building activities up to
the end Of this week, almost one third,
or Sl01.874 is recorded for restora-
ton and repair work. In 1898, de-
spite the fact that some Of the res
toration work was under way q value
Of only $69.675 was listed for recon-
struction and repairs to existing
structures.

Based on the incomplete figure Of
$339 .453, building activity here in 1884
was $l7,972 under the 57,425 build
ing valuation for last year. The fig
ures represent the value Of construc-
ton OF new buildings, cost Of recon-
struction work and cost Of repairs to

erected and permits were issued to
build 207 homes the previous year.

ings valued at $1,065,11s.
Plans are being made for even more

Room Harmony Studied.

An effective method Of harmonizing
two adjoining rooms with different
colored walls Is to have the trim in
one room painted the same color as
the walls In another. A room with
blue walls and cream trim, for ex-
ample, becomes decoratively unified
with one with cream walls and trim.

REAL ESTATE SEEN
SOUND IN VALUES
Home Buying Continues to
Show Way to Investor
Seeking Security.
BY CHARLES J. RUSH,
Executive Secretary WASHINGTON Real
Estate Board.

Estate boero.
Reports filtering into Washington
from other sections Of the Nation indi-
cate that the investing public has
come to realize that real estate values
continue to strengthen and that the
purchase of well-located real estate
offers a measure of security hardly
attainable through any other source.
Recognition of the soundness Of real
estate Is evidenced through the Bet
ter Housing Campaign" conducted un-
der the direction Of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration. Efforts are being
made by the Housing Administration
to stimulate home construction, and
but recently regulations have been
promulgated for the insurance Of hous-
ing loans offered by the operative
builder.
Local Activities Help.
In the National Capital will be
found a number of well-qualified home
builders whose activities have con-
tributed greatly to the development of
this city and its metropolitan area.
These home builders are today offering
homes Of all types and at figures that
are exceptionally attractive.
From July !, 1917, to June 80. 1884,
there have been 28,328 residences
erected under permits issued by the
District building inspector. Since
January /, 1884, to November 80, 1884,
his office issued permits for the con-
struction of $40 single-family dwell
ings, representing a construction cost
of $4,262,375. In the same period AZ
permits for the erection of multi
family structures furnishing living
quarters for 1877 families with a
construction cost OF $372,355 have been
issued
During 1888 there were s.s48 deeds
fled with the recorder of deeds. For
the past IL months the number totals
S,l78, which should, with the Decem-
Der total, exceed the 1898 total, and
shows the local real estate market is
gaining strength.
