Figure Is Double
February Total;
Apartments Guin
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Soaring residential building oper-
ations sent the valuation of permits
issued in the District during March
to S5,296,450 figure more than
double the total for February. and
about twice the valuation for March
of last year, the building inspectors
Office announced today.
New projects approved In March
for the District will provide housing
for l,449 families, and will take care
OF a population increase of about
5000. Estimated residential build
ing in March in nearby areas Of
Maryland and Virginia will provide
living space for about 5000 addi--
tional persons. These figures are
for private enterprise projects.
Private Building Gains.
Private building in the District for
the first quarter of this year is val
ued at sll,749245, as compared to a
valuation of S6,456,015 for the COM
parable period Of 1910 which was
probably the most active year for
residential operations in the history
of the Capital.
An idea of how the building in
dustry is stepping up operations
IN Washington may be gathered by
comparing March figures with those
for February of this year and for
March. 1910. The valuation for
February was s2,O6l ,545, and for last
March 1854, ,995.
The most activity last month was
IN apartment construction. Permits
were granted for 1l2 buildings. esti-
mated to cost S3.095 $50. These will
have 1,216 family units. February
apartment buildings cost only STOP
600 and had capacity of 367 FAM
lies. Valuation of apartments ap-
proved last March was S774.5OO and
the structures had a capacity of 29l
families
233 One-Family Homes.
A total of 233 one-family dwell
lngs were approved last month bv

learn if the seller does possess
good title. Such work is generally
done by title companies. They trace
the title and, if in their judgment
it is valid, guarantee it to be good.
They agree to make good any loss
incurred by the purchaser up to the
amount of their guarantee in the
event the title should prove to be
defective. Such a guarantee is no
better than the company giving it;
like any insurance company, it must
have assets to meet losses. In small
er communities title searching often
is done by attorneys.

New Project to Use
'Ouotrefoip DESIGN

A new low-rent slum- clearance
project at Chester. Pa. will be the
first to use a new "Quatrefoil' design
recently perfected by technicians of
the United States Housing Au-
thority.
Under this plan the main rooms
of a dwelling unit are arranged in
sort of four-leaf clover fashion
around central axis which con-
tains stairs and utilities With it
each main room gets through venti-
lation and an exceptional amount
of light. 1t permits economical
use of the land since as many as %
units can be placed on an acre with
out the appearance of crowding. A
unique feature is that "Quatrefoil"
buildings have front and side yards
but no back yards.

Laws governing the rights of own
ers of real property are eXacting.
All transactions transferring, leas-
ing or mortgaging of property, etc,
to be valid must be in writing and,
as they affect third parties, must
be recorded.
If not recorded a third party who
acquires any right in or title to a
property is not bound by anything
that may have been done prior to
his acquiring such right unless all
deeds, mortgages, etc, are on file
in the Office of the recorder of deeds
or county courthouse.
Likewise, if one buys a home
and discovers after he has taken a
deed to it that there is mortgage
on the house which he did not
know about. and its date of recorda-
ton is before his deed. he has no
redress. The rights of the mort
gagee will precede his and may
cause him to lose his property.
Loaning agencies will not make
a mortgage loan without title
search, and there must be no cloud
on the title. Fights over the right
full ownership of land often go back
centuries. There is a million dollar
suit being tried now over the own
ership of land in Mineola, N. Y.
The city claims ownership, citing
grants from James l. The owners
go them one better; they claim title
by deeds from the Indians.
Search Is Essential.
For these reasons whenever any
real estate is bought it is essential
that the title be searched. The
purpose of such a search is to find
out if the seller actually has a
good title to the property he is SELL
ing. Since all land transactions
must be recorded, it is possible for
those trained in this profession to

Home Opening
Spacious Dwelling
AT Crestwood Open
Through April 20
By MARGARET NOVEL;.

A crowd estimated at 5000 per-
sons turned out for the opening last
Sunday of the third Silver Star
Home of the year, the spacious
Colonial type house at 1915 Ran
dolph street NV. which tomorrow
will enter the second week of its
exhibition period. The house will
be open to the public through Sum-
day, April 20.
The new home, which has 10
rooms, 3 baths and a first-floor
lavatory, is situated in the beauti-
full Crestwood section, which bor-
ders Rock Greek Park. 1t may be
reached by driving out Sixteenth
street NV. to Shepherd. Turn left
on Shepherd street two blocks to
Eighteenth street and left again a

Built by Russell T. Woodfield. the

Anderson and is presented by Paul

Crestwood.
Delightful Approach.
The Silver Star Homes Commit
tee, composed of experts in home
building, approved the Crestwood
house unanimously. James S. Tay-

Other members are Waverly Taylor,

the house in Crestwood for several

is especially inviting with wide,

This is the center-hall type of
house but with a most unusual ar
rangement of space that makes
rooms of excellent proportion, a
graceful ease of use that will make
entertaining here a pleasure and
housekeeping a joy. Two large
closets in the front hall are con-
veniently located for wraps, and
small study and lavatory at the
left makes a useful room when
guests are received. The living
room is very large, running the full

This, together with the gloomy
weather and Mr.. Waghalter's meas
ured tempt in the directing of the
stirring music, took away con-
siderably from the spiritedneSs OF
the performance. The visiting con-
ductor's conception Of the Car

ear-marks of a musicianly interpre-

Tilt and, in Aida" the broad,
magnificent effect that has made
these two operas so dear to the pub

the orchestral numbers, the only
quickening of the tempo being in
the repeated notes marking the
climax in the "Intermezzo" from
"Cavslleria Rusticana," where time
could be legitimately taken to make
these measures impressive.
OF the singers, the most finished
work was that of Mr.. Hahn His
voice is a lyric one of unusually fine
quality and he uses it with free
dom and skill. The aria from Act
of La Boheme", the Saint Sulpice
scene from "Manon" and the Prison
scene from Faust were excellently
done and with much feeling. Miss
Johnson's voice, while clear and
sweet in timbre, has a fundamental
unsteadiness that takes away from
the effects she would attain Her

besides appearing in the Faust" and

able arias require warmer and
more resonant voice than Mr.. Robot
sky possesses. and while he had
made them his own from point of
view of traditional Interpretation
and personal feeling. the registra-
ton was less powerful through want
OF unlimited vocal resources.
The artists appeared in costume
and acted out the scenes as COM

acting was emotionally convincing.

er. Although drops of rain fell from
time to time, the real downpour held
off until the last number. Perhaps
the prospect of rain may have de-
tered many from attending, but
whatever the. reason, the more
than apacity crowd was not the
case for this program. There was
plenty of enthusiasm, however, and
the opportunity to hear excerpts
from the most familiar operas was
a welcome one.
A new guest conductor was in
charge of the orchestra in the per-
son of Ignatz Waghalter, while the
burden of presenting entire scenes
from Faust" La Boheme" and
Massenet's "Manon," besides indi-
vidual solos, was borne by Virginia
Johnson, soprano; William Hahn,
tenor, and Abrasha Robofsky, bass
baritone. The late arrival of the
scores for "Manon" and Faust"
necessitated the use of a piano for
accompaniments. since the orches-
ira had no opportunity to rehearse
the music.
