Disclose Trend to Build Up
Eastern Sections in One
Family Residences.
MOST HOUSES TO SELL
At AROUND $1,000
$4,000. 9-story Office Building
to Be Constructed at 1926
K Street NV.

A 10-year record for number OF
new one-family dwellings approved
for erection was broken here this week
as Building Inspector John w. Oeh-
mann issued permits for 101 new
homes Not since the boom days OF
1925-l928 have there been as many
houses included in the weekly list OF
permits.
The current trend to build up East
Washington is illustrated by the per-
mits, as more than go of the houses
will be erected in the Southeast sec
ton, and considerable portion of the
remaining structures will arise in the
Northeast part of the city. Most OF
the homes approved for construction
around $1,000.
A large portion of the real estate
market in recent months has been
for homes of the low-cost variety, and
this weeks building report indicates
that Washington builders are prepar-
ing to supply this demand. This trend
should mean the rapid building up OF
the eastern part of the city. as land
values are lower in that section.
A permit for erection of a nine
story office building at 1926 K street
NV. likewise was obtained during
the week. This permit was granted
the Normandy Corp. of Fairfax, Va.
The building will cost $4,000. Har-
