BY JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Many Washington business men
believe that the installation of sub.
ways in the downtown district will
materially aid the commercial
growth of the city.
They point first to the element
Of beauty, which has its more self
iSh side in the attraction OF more
tourists, and it's altruistic side in
improving the area in which thouS,
ands Of persons live and work.
20 ser Cent Boost
Next they point to the potential
increase Of property value along
streets from which surface street
railway lines are removed. A con-
servative estimate of this increase,
advanced by an official of the Dis
trict Government, is 20 per cent.
An example of the influence OF
trolley lines on property values
occurred a few years ago when it
was proposed to place trackage
on a downtown street which had
hitherto been free of trolleyS.
Owners of real estate along the
thoroughfare successfully killed
the proposal, argued it would de
crease the value of their holdings
by at least is per cent.
Quicker Transport
Perhaps the most important
point from the standpoint of the
merchant, however, is the obvious
increase in the number Of persons
coming downtown that would re
suit from the construction of sub
ways.
Quicker, more comfortable and
safer transportation would attract
thousands more to downtown
shops, theaters and restaurants.
At present, the Slowness OF
mass transportation, plus tie-ups
and delays, acts as a barrier tc
downtown trips contemplated By
many housewives bent on obtain
ing the latest bargain or viewing
the newest Clark Gable romance
Deliveries Helped
Another point from the busines!
mans viewpoint-if he is the mod
ern, progressive type who knows
his sales, costs and profits-is the
saving of time and money in de
livery service that would result
from the removal Of surface line.
on strategic streets.
Movement of goods from ware
houses to store to customers
would be greatly facilitated, anc
