INCREASE IS noted
IN BUILDING LOANS
Associations of District
Show Sharp Gains Over
Last Year.

The building and loan associations
OF the District, in the first quarter of
1886, have loaned in excess Of 81 $780,
900, or approximately $1,o00,000 more
than for the same period last year,
first three months of 1884. according
to figures just released by the District
of Columbia Building and Loan
League.
In the month of March alone Ala
loans, totaling $1,600,000, were made,
as compared with 395, amounting to
$1,386, 800, in March, 1885, and 302,
for total of 1881 300, in March, 1884.
These figures are all the more
gratifying" declared Robert E. Buck
ley, president Of the District league,
'because of the fact that last Spring
hit new high for the lending ac-
tivities and assets of the building and
loan associations Of the District. Peo-
pie. as whole, were just coming out
of the depression and showing a re-
newed interest in home purchase.
home building and repairing. In this
connection it should be remembered
that the District of Columbia, while
having its own peculiar housing prob
lens, has perhaps never felt the full
force of the depression in the field
of home construction and financing
that other localities in the country
have experienced and, consequently,
was probably the first to feel the ef-
fects of the general business recovery.
The revival of home building which,
from all reports, is just this year get
ting under way and rapidly gaining
momentum in other parts of the
country. really got started here last
year. Under these circumstances, We
had felt it would be reasonable ex-

own from the peak of last year, but

Very few of the 100000 families,
who compose the one remaining un-
touched real estate market, according
to the Forum, have ever had good
small house built for them. They
have had their choice of flimsy walls,
hand-me downs and apartments, while
what they want are houses. The
continental solution to housing may
be the multi-family dwelling, says the
Forum, and so eventually may ours,
but urban and suburban America to-
day prefers single houses.
To build the houses for these S.

Architect Not Interested.
In recent years the architect has
not. been particularly interested in
the small house. If he charged a
small fee there was no money in it;
If his fee was high there was no house
in it. Such considerations notwith-
standing, the architect is today de-
signing small houses, confident that
he can solve the architectural prob

lem will solve itself.
