Great Activity in Suburban Property as Well as in the City—Large Invest- ments of Money e District. ‘The record in the real estate market Is one of continued activity, and has been during the entire season, which Is now drawing to a close. Large amounts of valuable property have changed hands and a great deal of money has been invested in city and suburban property. The feature of the market during the year has undoubtedly been the activity In unimproved Property. The agitation of the eight-hour ques- tion by the building trades in the early part of the year had the effect of diverting capital from house building to a large extent. While, of course, there has been a great deal of building done, yetamong investors a strong preference has been manifested tor unimproved land, and a large part of the transactions recorded in- cluded this class of property. Under this de- mand prices have advanced, and the sales show & steady appreciation in Values. Improved property has | uaturally been effected, and in all parts of the city. the ruling figures for property show an ad- vance. ‘The appreciation has been such that some ‘property-holders complain that the per centage obtainable for rents has been reauced, On the other hand, the complaint 1s heard that the rents are already too high. ‘The tendency towards suburban ‘land 1s very marked, and perhaps there has never been a period when the activity In this class of property has been 0 marked and prices have ruled so high. Dis tance trom the corporate limits of the elty does not seem to be regarded as of very great dis- advantage to property, Land has been bought up in nearly all directions about the clty for literally miles and miles from the city limits. Suburban villages during the past. year have been jaid out in Virginia along the line of the Washington and Obfo railroad; in Montgomery county and Prince George's county, along the lnes of the B. and 0. and B. and P. railroads, while that great tract of country lying along the northern border of the ‘city, extend- ing back in ‘some cases as’ far as the villages ot Brightwood and Tenleytown, has been very thoroughly gone over by Investors and available tracts purchased. Of course all this land has notas yet been sub- Givided into elty lots and placed on the mar- ket, but it is now held for that purpose, and as so0h as events will seem to justily such iecourss it will all be made available ior settlement, Suburban property is no longer a drug. on the market, and owners have advanced their prices, So that farius in the vicinity which have een for years alfording a scanty living to their owners are now held at $1,000 per acre. The land lying between the taruis and the northern city borders, whieh has been subdivided for some Years, as of course felt the influence of this activity, and prices have materially stiffened. Sixty and seventy cents per foot has been asked and received for lots Just outside the city limits, and there is some which 1s held, atadollar aicot. The same appreciation of pilces has marked the transactions in land yy the were, and property of this kind, which was ‘in the market a year and a year anda half ago at three hundred dollars Berere ave beon wold since for, $1,000 and 1,500. Kor instance, Secretary Whitney paid ‘00 per acre for his farm some two years" ago. Lust spring the President pald about $5U0. During the iast summer, lund in the immediate vicinity has beon sold for $1,000 an acre, und there was one sale reported of a farm on the Tenleytown road, near the President’s house, Where the price’paid was $1,500 per acre. There is some land. in the sate vidiuity tor which the ownersask $5,000 per acre. Itis expected that the period of improvement in suburban property In Various directions will Soon set in, and in some of the recent sub-divi- sions the erection of houses has been made a condition in the sale of lots, Building, how- ever, has been delayed by the lack of sewer and Waldr ineliities, and, it is expected, that, upon the completion'of the water works extension, these modern necessities will be made avallt able, and then the building up of the suburos will proceed in earnest. The placing upon the market of all this land at cheaper rates than prevail in the city does not seem to have had a Gepressing influence upon she prices ot city property. City lots were never higher, and jand in the northeast, near the navy yard and in South Washington, which has for years been rather out of the inarket, is now uctively bought and sold at constantly increasing Prices. Tue explunation of this rapid growin and improvement of the city probably may be found in the tact that the population is grow- ing and a great deal of capital Is attracted here from all parts of the country not only for Ine Yestinent, but to supply homes tor people who will beecoihe a part of the permanent and resi dent populaiion of Better Postpone the Matter. To the Kdutor of Tite EVENING Star: In view of the opposition which has been developed to tne proposed extension of Massa- chusetts avenue at this time by the Commis- sloners, it is to be hopedthat the whole matter may be deterred until the meeting of Congress, and that they may then report upon the whole subject of extending the streets and avenues of the city Into the county (in accordance with the resolution passed at the last session refer- ring the matter to them) aud urge the adoption. otthesume. While the extension of Massachu- setts avenue upon the line adopted by the Com- missioners would bean important tmprove- ment, there 1s certainly no pressing need of undertaking it within six weeks of the meeting of Congress, which has the whole subject ot ex- tending the streets and avenues under consid eration, and has directed the Commissioners of the District to report thereon at the next ses- sion. May not the uction of the Commissioners iu Undertaking upon their own responsibility a part of the work prejudice and antagonize the general plan contemplated by Congress? ‘The ine of extension of Mussuchusetts avenue se- lected by the Commissioners is one thai will meet the ‘approval of the general pubile, not- withstandins the opposition of — interested parties whose real estate will be leit off the line, It is more important that the Streets “and avenues extending beyond the city lmits shall be so located that, while convenient for the traveling pubile, tuey shall follow the high land, so asto com: mand a goud view of the city aud the Potomac Tiver, Uhan Ubitt they shull be extended ona direct line with the portion wituin the city. New Jersey avenue could be extended ons direct line to the District line beyond Rock ereek; New Hampshire avenue would have to be diverged to the north to clear Soldiers’ Home grounds; Vermont avenue could termi- ule al and connect with the proposed drive around the new reservoir. while Rhode Island avenue could be diverged’ northward and ex- tend to Harewood avenue, opposite to the gate of the grounds of the proposed Catholic uni- Versity, und connecting ai that point with the road 16 Bladensburg. 1t would also connect with the drive around the new reservoir, and also with a road Into the Soldiers’ Home. As you so well said in your editorial on the exten- Sion of Massachusetts avenue, {tis more impor- tant to carefully consider the whole matter of extending the streets and avenues, and adopt some comprehensive plan, than’ to hurry through some portion of the work without regard to the effect upon the whole. Itis to be hoped that the rival interests of real estate owners may not be allowed to defeat the grand scheme forextending and improviug the stree and avenues of the District, as they have thus far defeated appropriations for the new post office and District putidin, Z whites nea The Laugh was on the Men in the Cab.
