TN AN unusual experiment, the
future growth and development
of Kenwood, Md, has been placed
II in the hands Of committee CT
property owners to decide.
All matters pertaining to landscar-
ing, development and construction OF
new buildings, placing of houses On
sites, and every new project for this
suburban community will be referred
to committees for consideration and
report. The developers of the subdi-
vision, the Kennedy -Chamberlin rIe-
velopment Co., who proposed the plan,
are cooperating with the citizens in
carrying it out.
Homes already built in Kenwood
were erected for the individuals who
were to occupy them, and subject to
careful restrictions of the sponsors
as to type and size Of buildings,
architecture and location.
Under the plan now launched, the
engineering, architectural and land
scaping talent of the owners will be
supplemented by the views and desires
of the property owners already In the
community. In this connection, the
citizens committee will not only give
its own views, but will solicit the
views of others whose property and
outlook might be affected.
A. Montague Ferry, one OF Ken
woods citizens who has taken an ac-
tive part in furthering this com
munity management" plan. said the
idea is being viewed with a great
deal Of enthusiasm among the prop
erty owners Of that development.
"The committee chosen" he said,
"is admirably qualified for this work,

port of the residents. and Is well
coined as a distinct asset by the
sponsors of Kenwood.
"The results of the experiment will
be watched with interest not only by
Washington real estate people, but
also by developers in other sections
of the country. 1t is probably the
first time that suburbanite will not
only find his investment protected by
virtue of the customary and not al
ways effective financial restriction,
but by the right to criticize and sug-
gest in his own behalf
More important perhaps than the
protection of his money will be the
protection given his sense of fitness of
things and his pride in the COM
munity in which he lives"
The Committee on Landscaping, De-
velopment and Planning is composed
of Raymond K. Kyle, vice president
Of the Commercial Engineering Co.;
F. Irwin Ray, contractor, and Harold
F. Clemmer, engineer of tests and
materials for the District Govern
ment.
Other committees named to date
are the Committee on Community
Betterment, of which James Burns is
chairman, and Mrs. G. H. Horning,

on the Club (Kenwood Golf and
Country Club, of which John Z.
Mcclure is chairman, and Mrs. A.
Montague Ferry and Herbert H.
Mofitt, members.
These groups already have held a
number Of meetings, and during the
past week passed on plans for several
houses to be built in one section Of

80, 900 Families Patronized
Loan Associations Last
Half of Year.
MORTGAGES INCURRED
FOR THREE PURPOSES
Repairs, Purchase at Bargain
Prices and Refnancing Given
as Reasons.

A reviving interest in their homes led
between 80 1000 and 10000 American
families to borrow money from build
ing and. loan associations during the
last six months of 1888, it is reported
by Philip Lieber, president Of the
United States Building and Loan
League.
The average borrowing was $3.50
and loans were made for three main
purposes, Mr.. Lieber said: For mod
ernization and repairs on homes, for
purchase of an existing home, taking
advantage Of bargain prices, and for
the refinancing of existing short time
loans on the long time basis which
would provide for eventual repay
ment and debt-free ownership.
Period Witnessed Cycle.
This six-month period witnessed
the height Of last Summers rapid
business pickup, the recession of
tnat uptrend and the rise again at
the end Of the year." the league
president pointed out. "The opti-
mism engendered in July, however,
seems to have turned the first
thoughts Of these families in many
parts Of the country either to i'm
proving the value of the home or to
strengthening their tenure. These
credit-seekerS have found a source of
supply for their needs in the old
fashioned thrift and home financing
institutions of their communities, the
building and loan associations.
Under the terms of the horne
owners loan act and the rulings of
the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
there should be absolutely no coynpe-
tition for loans between the relief
organization and the permanent sav-
ings institutions designed for home
financing.
Activity Obscured.
But relief activities have been
given so much attention as to obscure
the fact that much larger number
OF families are borrowing on sound
security from their community in
stitutionS Of the savings and cooper
ative type than the number OF those
seeking Government aid.
For the last six months of 1888
the lending done by cooperative
thrift and home financing institu-
tions took care of the credit needs of
10000 to 10000 families. This indi-
Gates that the greater credit need
today is still that which falls within
the province of the established lend
ing institutions. From now on the
expansion of home-owner credit to
recovery dimensions will depend
largely upon the provision of funds
for those local institutions whereby
they may make sound loans. provid-
ing for orderly repayment of the same
over the years to come"
