Il DUCE IMPROVES
FAMOUS ROME VIEW
Ramshackle Houses, Surrounding
Capitoline, Sacred Hill,
Being Removed.

The Capitoline. sacred hill Of Rome,
where the Eternal City was born. is
being thrown into perspective by Mus
solini II Duce is having all the ram
shackle houses surrounding the hill
removed. At present they obscure the
view of the famous mound, the Rome
correspondent of the Associated Press
reports.
The hill on which stands the oldest
capitol building in the world already
is rising into clear outline. On ma
tional holiday evenings it will be
floodlighted.
Some of the houses in demolition
are hundreds Of years old, but of no
artistic value. They were part of
Rome's medieval slums.
They were built at time when the
Roman Forum was being used as a
COW pasture. It was then called the
Campo Vaccine, meaning COW field.
A street leading to the Capitoline Hill
was called the Via di Monte Caprino,
or Goat Hill street, from the fact that
sheep and goats grazed there.
Part of the Capitoline Hill was rem
dered more visible last year when a
row of buildings between the tarpean
rock promontory of the hill and the
ancient theater of Marcellus were
raZed.

BUILDING PERMITS
SHOW SLIGHT DROP
Arlington County Figure for
1884 Is $4,000 Less
Than 1888.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, April 28.-Building permits is
sued in Arlington County so far this
year are $4,365 less than for the same
period last year, according to rec
ords in the Office Of County Manager
Roy S. Braden.
Permits issued so far this year total
$l83, ,120, as against last years total
of s187. .485 for the same period.
While the March totals were far
greater this year than last, permits
issued through yesterday in April were
far less this year than during the
same period last year. Last years
March total was only $24,530, as
against $96,210 for this year. How
ever, the total through April 19 of
last year amounted to $44, ,430, while
this year it amounted to only $3,805.
The large increase in March per-
mits over those of last year is taken
by county officials to indicate an
upturn in business for, they point out,
there may well be sufficient num-
ber of permits issued during the re-
mainder of the month to more than
make up the slight difference which
now exists between this and last
years totals.
Surfacing of the new Lee Boule-
ward, which has been started after a
three-year delay and the contem-
plated completion of the county's ap-
proach to the new Arlington Memorial
Bridge are expected by local real estate
men to encourage building, especially
along the route of the new boulevard.
Officials and real estate dealers also
expect that building boom will fol-
low the installation of a county,
wide sewerage system for which public
works loans and grants have already
been approved and on which work is
to be started within the next few
weeks. The lack of a complete sewer
age system has greatly deferred
Arlington County's development in
comparison with nearby Maryland
communities, they believe, since Ar
lington is nearer to the center Of
Washington than the Maryland de-
velopments and should be popular for
residential purposes.

FORMULA FOR OFFICE
RENTS WORKED OUT
Basis Adopted in Chicago After
Tests-Founded on Eighth
Floor Unit.

A formula for determining rental
value of Office space has been worked
out by Leo j. Sheridan and Waldemar
Krakow of Chicago and appears in
the current issue of Skyscraper Man
agement, official publication of the
National Association of Building Own
ers and Managers.

adoption Of an eighth-floor standard

age of each building as a base from
which to compute all factors increas-
ing or reducing the rental value Of
space. The isolation of the eighth
floor typical unit as standard from
which all renting values Of space in
all buildings, regardless Of design or
height, might be measured, was the
result Of years Of thought and obser-
vation by Mr.. Sheridan"
The Sheridan-Karkow idea has been
applied to buildings Of various sizes
and ages with satisfactory results. It
has been applied to number Of Chi
cago buildings for test purposes, and
in many instances the formula has
been adopted as a permanent means
of arriving at a rate schedule.
