estimates are based on latest re-
ports from the same source.
Again in the last year more fami-
lies were provided for by building
in adjoining sections than in~ the
District itself. OF the 13,30O total,
approximately 7,l00 families were
in the adjoining sections and $500
in the District.
In 1888 the same situation was
evident with 5,163 families provided
for in nearby sections and 4,275 in
the District.
Home Building Leader.
However, home construction in
the District alone contrasts sharply
with the pace in other cities of
similar size.
The number Of families provided
for in the District for the last four
years has been consistently running
more than double those of its closest
rival, San Francisco, and as much
as nine times the totals for centers
like Pittsburgh.
In both public and private con-
struction the District has been
ranking third or fourth among all
cities in the Nation. In october it
was second. being outranked only
by New York.
Run Close Race.
Next to approximately $70,500.0OO
worth of public and private build
ing in the District itself during the
year, Arlington and Montgomery
Counties ran close race with
around $13,000,000 each, both new
records. Prince Georges was fourth
with around $7,500.000. Alexandria
was fifth with approximately S.
100000, while Fairfax County fol-
lowed with around $1,50O,0OO.
In the Bethesda and Silver Spring
areas of Montgomery County alene
$40 0,466,103 worth of private build
ing was registered up to December
20. Inspectors Martin F. Iverson of
the Silver Spring Office and Jack S.
Eaton of the Bethesda Office an
nounced this new high mark and
added they expected further gains
in 1910.
Sales Far Above 1929.
Department store sales, as re-
ported by the Richmond Reserve
Bank, rose to new records during
the year. Sales for the year have
been running about S per cent above
year ago, 3.3 per cent above 1887,
1876 per cent above 1885, 58.3 per
cent above 1888 and 18 per cent
above 1929.
The automobile trade was cheered
during the year as sales of both new
and used cars rose above 1898 levels.
However, they failed to equal their
1897 marks.

Totals Are Combined.
Addition of electric customer to-
tails of the District and Maryland
sections with the Virginia sections
and the combining of District tele-
phones with those for nearby areas
in November uncovered these spec
tacular gains:
Compared with year ago at the
end of November the metropolitan
area had 9,4O6 more gas meters,
10,947 more electric customers and
23.10O more telephones.
In the interval of only four years
since the 1885 date 36.156 gas meters,
39978 electrical customers and 1880
telephones have been added here In
metropolitan Washington.
Building Sets Records.
Public and private building in
the Washington metropolitan area
climbed to new peaks during 1899.
The grand total is estimated at
Sill 300, 900, while residential activity
accounted for approximately $685.

made as the desire for home owner
ship is being rapidly developed in
the minds of our citizens. A great
deal of credit for the creating Of
this kind of sound thinking is due
to the excellent real estate editions
published by our Washington news
papers.
Week after week the men in
charge of these sections drive home
the advantages of home ownership
which in turn has placed our Capt.
tai City in a commanding position
among the great cities of the Ma
ton
There was a time when Washing
ton was primarily a city of apart
ment houses, and while thousands
of our citizens will always prefer
to live in this type of dwelling, we
find that the new generation is con-
stantly becoming home conscious
and anxious for the joy of home
ownership. I believe that 1910 will
see continued expansion in home
building activities as more and more
of our citizens are determined to
make the final step and buy the
home of their dreams.
Washington is fortunate in hav-
ing many thousands of thrifty work.

required to buy or build at later

Transit Earnings Stand Out.
The Capital Transit Co. expert
enced a striking year from the
standpoint of gains in earnings and
growth of traffic. Despite wage in
creases covering the last half year,
net earnings were considerably bet
ter than 81 a share. On December
20 the company paid 50-cent divi-
dend, the first in five years.
The monthly advances in traffic
indicate steady swing from private
automobiles back to streetcar and
bus travel For manV wears this
trend was downward; for the last

nomic progress ends all eyes are
turned to 1910. Leading f1nanciers
