October Sales
Greatest of Any
Period Since '2Os
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Figures indicating that 1899 will
be the greatest residential construc-
ton year in the history Of metro
politan Washington were released
today by Rufus Lusk in his Wash.
ington Business Review. The re-
port stated also that more new
houses in the District were sold
during October than in any month
since the 192os.
Mr.. Lusk said his survey showed
that 1882 dwelling units have been
started in the metropolitan section
of the city in the first 10 months
OF the year. This is compared with
1904 units built during all of 1888
and $3.50 in 1887. The next high
est year, according to the Review,
was 1925, when 8,165 dwelling units
were erected in the District alone.
1t is estimated that a thousand or
so more were built in the counties
in that year, although exact figures
